Book Reviews of On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep (On Becoming. . .)
Book Review: THE most helpful book you can read before your baby is born!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really helped us to have a game plan for feeding and sleeping when we came home from the hospital. I'm a first time mom and have been using Babywise since day 1 with my newborn, and she's thriving and sleeping through the night wonderfully! This book was recommended to us by a LOT of friends, all of whom said they'd had tremendous success with the program. You do need to understand the principles well enough that you can know HOW to be flexible when your situation calls for it. Ezzo states over and over again "be flexible." So, if you're totally Type A and can't figure out what being flexible is, you'll probably have a hard time. Yes, there will probably be times when your baby does something that the book doesn't talk about, and you don't really have any choice but to do what your baby is demanding of you. But at least you'll know what to do to get your baby back on schedule! The hardest part is letting your baby cry in order to fall asleep. It's heart-wrenching the first few times, but it's SO worth it in the end. My daughter goes to sleep without crying at all now (at 7 weeks!) because she's actually learned how to soothe herself and fall asleep without the help of a pacifier, rocker, or other sleep prop. One thing I did differently is that I didn't make her cry it out until after 4 weeks, and then started letting her cry. Another great thing about this book is that Ezzo puts some checklists in the back of the book for you to be able see how your baby should be eating/pooping/peeing at different stages. The most important thing that he stresses is making sure your baby is eating well and consistently.

Summary of On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep (On Becoming. . .)
The infant management concepts presented in this book have found favor with over two million parents and twice as many contented babies. On Becoming Babywise brings hope to the tired and bewildered parents looking for an alternative to sleepless nights and fussy babies. The Babywise Parent Directed Feeding concept has enough structure to bring security and order to your baby's world, yet enough flexibility to give mom freedom to respond to any need at any time. It teaches parents how to lovingly guide their baby's day rather than be guided or enslaved to the infant's unknown needs. The information contained within On Becoming Babywise is loaded with success. Comprehensive breast-feeding follow-up surveys spanning three countries, of mothers using the PDF method verify that as a result of the PDF concepts, 88% breast-feed, compared to the national average of only 54% (from the National Center for Health Statistics). Of these breast-feeding mothers, 80% of them breast-feed exclusively without a formula complement. And while 70% of our mothers are still breast-feeding after six months, the national average encourage to follow demand feeding without any guidelines is only 20%. The mean average time of breast-feeding for PDF moms is 33 1/2 weeks, well above the national average. Over 50% of PDF mothers extend their breast-feeding toward and well into the first year. Added to these statistics is another critical factor. The average breast-fed PDF baby sleeps continuously through night seven to eight hours between weeks seven and nine. Healthy sleep in infants is analogous to healthy growth and development. Find out for yourself why a world of parents and pediatricians utilize the concepts found in On Becoming Babywise.Sleep Books
