Description:

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.

2good concepts but kind of all over the place  Nov 02, 2009
A few good ideas but the Baby Whisperer has the same basic concept and her book is much easier to follow. I started on these concepts and within a week, my baby was sleeping through the night.

5Huge Help  Nov 01, 2009
My twin girls are 7 weeks old and already sleeping for 6 straight hours at night on a consistent basis. The schedule offered is helpful and the author provides level headed approach to raising infants that won't make Mommy lose her mind. The book is also a quick read. I didn't start reading it until my girls were 3 weeks and we were still able to implement the ideas and have been able to use them succesfully.

5Working great for our baby!  Oct 30, 2009
I don't understand most of the negative comments. If these people read the book, then they missed some important information. The book does say (over and over) to feed your baby if you think she is hungry! My baby is thriving and she is very happy and content. It is working for us better than I could have imagined.

It is working so good for us, that I bought this copy for a friend.

4This book work for multiples  Oct 14, 2009
Our twins were born before we read this book. It had already been recommended to us by a friend by we were using the Sears book. We also had a 2 1/2 yr old toddler going through his phases at the same time. The result was a house of chaos and constant changing battle lines throughout the day.

My wife and I knew something had to be done and she decided to read On Becoming Baby Wise. She put the principals to work and adjusted slightly what she felt would not work. I have to tell you it was really really hard for 2 days trying to force the twins into a schedule. There was a lot of crying for everyone and the grandparents left because they couldn't stand it.

Miraculously, it just happened. The twins slept when you put them down. They laughed and were fed when you picked them up. No more marching around the house,bouncing them, trying to put them to sleep, no more dual feedings. It was staggered, orderly and most important, scheduled.

The most amazing thing is that when you put them down to sleep. they just went to sleep. No cajoling them like we have to with our oldest son. And to this day, the twins are now 2, they sleep when you put them down. I'm sure we would have done just fine without the book but with it, we were able to return to some semblance of order.

5Very helpful book  Oct 11, 2009
This was a very helpful book in establishing a schedule for our newborn and in getting him to sleep through the night.
