After using the suggestions in this book, my 18 month old goes quietly to bed. Before, he would yell and scream until we were a bag of nerves.

SO helpful for first-time parents!
I received this book as a gift from my first child's pediatrician. It saved me - and it had little to do with the advice it offered on parenting. Little did I know, I was suffering from post-partum depression, and there is an incredibly helpful section in this book ...
