Professional Review:
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.

   Summary: Great book!
Wonderful book. Starting at 8 weeks old, my son slept 7 hours. At three months he was sleeping 10-12 hours. You have to follow a strict schedule, but it really works. I will use this method again for my next child.

   Summary: Notorious as the WORST advice
All the legitimate childcare experts are against this! Use your common sense and love for your baby to see that these methods are wrong! Stay away from this book.

   Summary: "Baby screaming in the middle of the night"
Those were the words I typed into my Google search during yet another night of screaming, sleepless baby. "Baby screaming in the middle of the night." There was oodles of advice. I'd tried it all. But my 8 month old was screaming at 2 am, and had been every night for I don't know how long.

I had decided after my first two babies that I was exhausted from "attachment parenting," especially when it came to matters on sleep. Show me a Dr. Sears baby who sleeps through the night and I'll show you a kangaroo sporting lipstick and false eyelashes. My third baby was my toughest one. He started crying three days after he was born, and never let up. Not only did he cry endlessly, he rarely slept. Especially in the middle of the night. I had already been through the battle of weaning my first child from his 2 a.m. feedings when he was 2 1/2 years old, following Dr. Sears' advice and explaining gently, "num nums go nighty night too." But my toddler was too busy ripping out my hair, biting me, and screaming at the top of his lungs to hear my loving words. Son #2 was even harder to wean from those dreaded all-night feedings.

So I swallowed my pride, and decided to "baby wise" my 3rd son. I figured I had nothing to lose. Now I'll grant you that Gary Ezzo is perhaps not the most charming fellow in the neighborhood. But don't get your feelings hurt. I was a super thin-skinned attachment parenting mom, and I got over it. The whole neighborhood is thanking me. Now baby #5 is 5 months old and sleeps all night long, and she has been since she was 3 months old. (I didn't start "Baby Wise-ing" until she was 2 1/2 months old.)

Homeschooling and household chores are also much easier to accomplish because my baby sleeps great during her naps. Even traveling is easier. I put her in a little Moses basket whereever we are staying, and she goes right to sleep at bed and nap time. I never, ever thought you could teach babies to be good sleepers. I thought they had to be born that way. But I was wrong.

   Summary: The best baby book I've ever read!!
If you are looking for a book to show you how to get your baby sleeping through the whole night by 8 or 9 weeks old, this is the book for you!! I am pregnant for my 3rd, I followed this book for my first two kids and they both were sleeping through the night by 9 weeks old! I recomend this book to every mom with a newborn and every mom that follows this book has told me they have had the same results as I have. It's all about getting your baby on a schedule. I loved this book and I will be following it again with my 3rd baby!

   Summary: A fundamentalist Christian approach...
that twists scripture and that doesn't work!! Well, it might work depending on what your goal is. But to raise a healthy, happy, loving, confident child I would base on actual biblical teachings not Ezzo's version! I know well intentioned moms who used this method and underfed their child. I know many mothers who used this method and heard the same story over and over - "I tried to breastfeed but by x months my milk dried up/wasn't enough/didn't keep up with the babies needs". This book is off track biblically, medically and psychologically and is dangerous. We read and researched and glad we answered our babies needs and followed God's original designs. By the way, some readers might be confused as Baby Wise doesn't mention scripture etc, but it is just the secular version to "Raising Kids God's Way".
