On Becoming Baby Wise: Learn How over 500,000 Babies Were Trained to Sleep Through the Night the Natural Way

The philosophy behind this book is harmful to both parents and baby. The more attached and bonded children are as infants and toddlers, the more independent they can become as they grow older. I'm speaking as the mother of 3 children, now aged 21, 16 and 12 - and very mature and independent individuals who had the security they needed during those formative years of birth through age 3. I recommend reading Tine Thevenin's book, The Family Bed, and any book by Dr. William Sears. Remember - think for yourselves - what do your instincts tell you?
