Professional Review:
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

   Summary: I can't follow any unwise advise
I have purchased this book together with Babywise sleep book from couple of my friends' recommendation and have to say I am very much disappointed with books. Both books are focused on training a baby based on idea that Baby can act and think like adult and near adult phisican & mental capability.
I am not condemming this book to be worst book ever as some people do.. but would like to caution parents and let them know it is only one person's opinion and suggesion.

   Summary: Exactly what I needed!
This book has been invaluable to me as my son has started eating solids and becoming more active. I am a first-time parent, and while I do not hold to a strict daily schedule or the sleeping methods that Baby-Wise suggests, I find their wisdom and suggestions regarding introducing solids and varying the "wake time" activities extremely helpful. I had few ideas as to what to do with my baby on a practical level and this book answered my questions! I refer to it often and highly recommend it to all parents.

   Summary: Baby Wise is TRULY Wise
I have read and implemented all of the Baby Wise, Toddler Wise, and Child Wise books and my daughter is more advanced, independant than any child I know her age. And I was happy and not sleep deprived or a slave to my child throughout those developmental years. Children are being brought up with a sick coddling mentality that does not bring limits, boundaries and order to their lives. Do you understand that those things give your child security??? For all the tired moms that are terrified to say no to their child and try to reason them into obedience, please show me where the bible says reason with your child because they can make good choices at a year to 18 months old. We are supposed to train our children. Training involves discipline and boundaries, motivated by love. And these books offer great insight and suggestions on how to apply these principles.

   Summary: Worst Book Ever.
Do NOT bother with this book. The advice it gives is SO bad. No mother who loves her child will do the things that this book suggests.

   Summary: Loved the First Baby Wise, HATED This One
I am an enthusiastic supporter of the Babywise method (from the ORIGINAL book) of helping infants learn to organize their sleeping and eating schedules so they sleep through the night, so they feel nurtured and loved, and so they have some expectation of a regular routine rather than just having their parents trying to guess what they need at any given time. If you read the first book carefully, you will know that the author does not advocate letting kids cry, nor does he advocate withholding food if they're hungry. Just the opposite. He gave me the tools to be a well-rested, happy mommy (with a well-rested, happy daddy) to two wonderful kids who slept through the night at 4-5 weeks with NO ill effects - no crying, no loneliness, no empty tummies, no confusion, but with lots and lots of love. I have bought this book for many people. So I thought that now that my babies are older, I would buy Baby Wise II for a continuation of more good advice. WRONG. I would NEVER, EVER use physical correction for my kids. I think spanking is wrong for any kids, not just older ones, and I am HORRIFIED that this author recommends physical correction for little babies! Even the "hand squeeze" that he recommends is an awful idea. Little kids should learn that their hands are for exploring and learning, and no adults should ever cause discomfort to those little hands. Squeeze the baby's hand when you're feeding them and they try to grab the spoon? TERRIBLE idea! That little baby is trying to learn about the world, and they do it with their hands! Even if the baby is reaching for something dangerous, the parent should gently re-guide the hand - not hurt it! I am returning this book and reluctantly will stop recommending BabyWise at all. I'm disappointed in this guy.
