Book Reviews of On Becoming Baby Wise Book Two: Parenting Your Pre Toddler 5-12 Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition
Book Review: Happy, contented, well adjusted child
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first review I have written - But I use them a lot. Sorry it's soo long but I feel that I have to contribute to this. I have not read the second book and came here to purchase it.
I am very disappointed in some of the responses from other reviewers. The first book states that if your baby is hungry between the scheduled feedings, then go ahead and feed them, and just readjust the schedule for the rest of the day. It also states that if you are doing something that day or leaving your child with a caregiver do not worry about them not feeding to the schedule, just rearrange later. Also it states that if your child is crying in the night, to go and comfort them, pick them up and cuddle them, but then put them back to bed and just don't go at every whimper, they learn fast they that they will get their way (this I can attest to!).
The reviewer who states a doctor would tell you; never wake a sleeping baby, is not correct. When my son came home from the hospital he did not do well on the demand feeding - by the time he showed signs of being hungry; he was over hungry, very cranky and too miserable to eat. Luckily, we had a very understand doctor (we ended up calling him 11:00pm on a Friday night), and were told by him, (who has over 25 years experience) that we must wake him up if he goes longer than 3 hours from the beginning of his last feeding (does this sound familiar!). If he falls asleep when eating to wake him, he must feed for a minimum of 30 mins, and try to not to let him eat for more than 45 mins, as he will not be hungry and it will be too long before he feeds again. Due to medical problems my son had to go on formula for a week, and afterwards our doctor recommended that if we were worried about his feeding, to have one formula feeding a day to make sure his intake is on schedule, and also to weigh him every week. The weight guidelines in the book were inline with what my doctor recommended.
But this book is not just about feeding - It provides good information on raising a happy, well-rounded child. The importance of using interactive and alone time play and naptimes. My son is 3 months old and very happy and laughs all the time, whether he is playing by himself or with someone. He does not demand interaction, but knows that someone is only a call away. After reading this book, from 4 weeks old he was happy to spend time in his bouncer while I made lunch, took a shower etc., (we could always see each other from where he was). I also liked the idea of putting him straight to bed after the 2nd from last feeding of the day (about 8:00pm for us), as it gave me time to straighten up the house, clean some bottles and spend time with my husband, before feeding him his last feeding and going to bed, and my son was happy to do this. He fussed for about 10 mins to start with, but we just took turns in going in to see him, talk with and cuddle him, and now he is happy and laughs when he goes to bed.
I am not saying that I agree with 100% of the book (but I don't think I have agreed 100% with any of the baby books I have read), but I definitely agree with the principles, and my pediatrician seems to be on the same line - He gives you a sheet of pointers at each visit, which included putting your baby to bed at one month old, when they are awake, so they learn to put themselves to sleep and not rely on you rocking them etc. I know that every child is different, and this style will not work with everyone, but read the whole book, and if you have questions, check with your pediatrician. My son is a very happy 3 month old. He sleeps 7-8 hours through the night, and when I go to get him in the mornings, someimtes he is happily laying awake laughing to himself (or Pooh!), because he knows that someone is coming. People offer all the time to look after him for us as he is a delight to be around.

Summary of On Becoming Baby Wise Book Two: Parenting Your Pre Toddler 5-12 Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition
It's reality-check time! You are at least five months into your tour of parenting duty by now. The complexity of child-training has begun to come into focus. You have learned that as your baby matures both constant and variable factors continually influence his or her development. What behaviors can and should you expect from your pretoddler? Feeding time for your pretoddler, for example, is now more than a response controlled by a sucking reflex. For the pretoddler, mealtime is part of a very complex, conscious interaction between what the child does and what his parents expect him to do. Right and wrong conduct will be encouraged, discouraged, and guided when necessary. In fact, right and wrong patterns of behavior will now be part of your baby's entire day. That's why feeding time, waketime and sleeptime provide wonderful opportunities for training and Babywise Book II will guide you all the way, from the high chair to playpen, from the living room to the back yard. This series teaches the practical side of introducing solids food, managing mealtimes, nap transitions, traveling with your infant, setting reasonable limits while encourage healthy exploration and much more. You will learn how to teach your child to use sign language for basic needs, a tool proven to help stimulate cognitive growth and advance communication. Apply the principles and your friends and relatives will be amazed at the alertness, contentedness and happy disposition of your babyParenting Books
