Book Review of On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep

On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I have three children and this is one of the books I've consistently returned to with each baby. It has excellent advice for fostering healthy sleep habits in young babies. But if you read this book, don't follow its advice until the baby is about 2 months old. The book encourages a certain program to start WAY TOO YOUNG and it only adds to frustration of parents of newborns. You can't spoil a newborn. With my third, I just relaxed and followed the baby's lead until around 2 months then started using the Baby Wise method. Buy it, but don't become a slave to it like I did with my first. Take what works and leave the rest.
