 One of Satan's largest acomplishments October 14, 2008
5 out of 22 found this review helpful
A sickening, disgusting book that is helping to destroy this country. Satan works extra hard in hospitals and anywhere a newborn is, since they are the foundation of God's people. The latest media alert by the American Academy of Pediatrics says it all: A strong correlation with this book has been documented in Babies who have failure to thrive and dehydration.
 this book really helped! October 13, 2008
we were loaned this book when we found out we were pregnant and ended up buying our own copy. i'm the sort of person that likes to plan things, and this made so much sense to me! i started using this schedule when our daughter was about 2 1/2 months and she fell right into the pattern. we were pretty flexible with it as she had reflux and i was having nursing issues, but she's done great. she started sleeping for 8 hours at night and taking 3 one hour naps a day at 3 months, by 5 months she was up to 9 1/2 to 10 hours at night and since then has moved up to being in bed by 7 or 7:30 and sleeps until 6 am, she also takes a 2 hour morning nap. i also breastfed, so i don't agree with the reviewers who say you can't use this book if you're breastfeeding. it worked for me anyway. our daughter is a very happy, active, social baby. she is in the 97% for height and the 63% for weight. our doctor says she's doing great! of course i also read a lot of other books and used techniques from "happiest baby on the block", but this was the one book i referred to over and over. i found it much easier to read and understand then "healthy sleep habits, happy child". if you like a schedule that can be flexible and want to get some sleep at night, i think this book can really help.
Helped me as a new mom October 3, 2008
I rushed to buy this book after my son was born. I don't agree with everything in it but the techniques worked!
 Great book September 29, 2008
We read and followed the guidance of this book and the baby started by sleeping 5 hours straight. She later went to 8 hours straight and now is at 11-12 hours stright through the night. great book.
These Critiques are over the top! September 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I used this book for my first child and he was sleeping 6 hours a night from 3 months old. Every single mom that I know who uses it loves it. It is flexible and practicle and realistic for our changing schedules. These critiques sound like they only read half the book. Ezzo says over and over that you need to be flexible.
He does NOT encourage you to let your child cry it out until they are 3 months old. Even then he says to let them cry for 5 minutes then go and check on them and then 10 minutes and go check on them then 15 minutes then check on them. This is not barbaric and is very short-lived. Most moms that I know only had to let their child cry it out for 2-3 nights.
THAT's IT! You know what happens after that? Your child learns to self soothe and gets more sleep, not to mention your own sleep. RESULT: Everybody is happier :) Moms that I know who co-slept from the start regret it by a few months old. Imagine a todler in your bed. There is no scientific basis to the "Attachement Style of Parenting". I know this because my husband is a social psych professor.
My son slept for 8 hours by 5 months after losing the binky and now at 2.5 years old sleeps 12 hours and has since he was 9 months old. Doesn't that sound nice? He is one fo the happiest, most social and confident children you will meet, people comment on this all the time.
Get the book- if you read the whole thing and still think it's not for you, then that's your choice. I recommend it to every single new mom I meet and have only heard bad feedback from one of my friends that co-slept instead and now at 1 year old regrets it.
