Book Review of On Becoming Baby Wise

On Becoming Baby Wise
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


In case you are considering ordering this book, here is what you can really find inside. I love babywise! It has worked wonderfully for our family. You do not have to worry about Ezzo and Bucknam in any way advocating to leave your child helplessly crying. It's nowhere to be found in the book! It spells out clearly, if baby is crying, investigate and problem solve so that you can do something about it if need be. Use hunger cues, plus the clock, plus parental assessment to determine if it's time to feed the baby. It is also stated multiple times throughout the book, if baby is hungry, FEED HIM. The principles in this book teach you how to help your infant organize his sleep and hunger cycles so that he can a) distinguish night from day and b) when he is old enough, get all of his nutrition during the day so that he can get his much needed sleep at night. Our son sleeps well, eats well, is thriving, very alert while awake, hitting all of the "milestones", and I haven't had any milk supply issues, and our marriage is in tact to boot. When used with wisdom and discernment, the principles in this book have been and will continue to be a very positive guide for many parents!
