    About this ebook

    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 baby.

      I did not get all the way through this book by the time my wife gave birth to our twin daughters at 35 weeks and then I had no time to finish it really. I have used it since for some bits and pieces of information. The basic premise, that parents are in control and should neither adhere to a strict schedule or meet all of baby's demands instantly, makes sense but is a bit too idealized, especially for multiples. Mostly, it made me feel guilty that we could not live up to the ideals in the book, and scared of what the results will be. I have friends who swear by it, but our reality does not allow for following all the philosophies in the book. It is probably worth reading if you are interested in trying to be the perfect parent.
    • 5/5
      This is an amazing book for new parents. It teaches you how to sleep train your child in addition to other very helpful information.
    • 3/5
      The parent-directed feeding system seems to make sense for the most part, being presented as a flexible middle ground between the extremes of demand-feeding and hyperscheduling. The problems with this book are that it is poorly written and the authors engage in somewhat unprofessional-feeling salesmanship. The important information could have been presented more concisely in far fewer pages and the authors devote a lot of effort toward a sales pitch that arguably turns the extremes to which they contrast their system into straw men.

      Following this book worked like a treat for me and by 13 weeks my daughter slept through the night from 7pm - 7am and has slept like this ever since…she even asks to go to bed for a day nap and at night. Then two years later I read it again as I had my second daughter and I can't for the life of me follow a routine in the same way I did the first time round, so in turn, my second daughter does not sleep through the night or nap very well either. They need to write a 'Wise with Baby and Toddler too'.
    • 3/5
      They are somewhat pompous in places; somewhat simplistic in others. I do accept the basic premise that families need to be child-oriented rather than child-centric. The book is very much focused on the first weeks and months.
    • 5/5
      From experience I can say that this book truly is a life saver. I am not vouching for Ezzo's character, or all of his ideas. I do know from experience that this is a great book! My baby slept through the night at two months! I have friends whose babies still wake up on into two years. That is not good for anyone. The methods do work, but you really do need to not be legalistic about their enforcement. Use it as a guide rather than a Bible!I do recommend reading the book with wisdom and taking out of it what you feel comfortable with, and just not using the parts that you question. Isn't that the way we look at most books anyway?Anyone who after reading this book thinks that it is okay to starve, neglect or beat their child has definitely not read it right. This book says nothing of the sort!! If you feel your child needs to be held, HOLD HIM!
    • 5/5
      This book saved me from certain insomnia! I was at my wits end when a friend suggested it and we're on the third book now and loving it! I think, as with all parenting books, you need to read and decide what works best for you, and the book even says that. There's a lot of flack out there for this series, but I can say as a parent of a child who would not sleep anywhere but ON me for the first 6 weeks, this works. My daughter slept through the night at 11 weeks (we started the book at week 6) and hasn't woken up since except if she was sick! Also, by "through the night" I mean 6p-6a!

      This book was great! It helped us know how to schedule our babies, making for a much happier family!
