We give this book to all our new parent friends!

While walking in a park four days after my first daughter's birth, three different ladies told us that we needed to get this book--and we're so glad we did: by following the principals in this book, all three of our kids were sleeping through the night within two weeks of birth!!! Also, since our children ate on schedule, the only time they cried for food was when we were more than a few minutes late for their scheduled feeding time--our babysitters loved this aspect of watching our kids or dreaded it if they weren't punctual.

On a cautionary note, if you subscribe to the "demand feed" philosophy (i.e., feed the baby when he/she cries), then this book isn't for you. I supports the notion of "parent directed feeding" where the parents control the child's feeding times--and I wouldn't implement their guidelines immediately. You should slowly adjust what you're currently doing into the program Ezzo proscribes.

Good luck!

If you want your baby on a routine, this book is for you!

This book is perfect for mom's & dad's who like routines & want their babies to sleep through the night. I read this book & started our son on the feeding, awake time, nap time routine at 4 weeks. It was a little hard at first because all my son wanted to do after a feeding was sleep. I kept him away for at least 20 minutes then put him down for a nap. My baby was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old! He would take his last feeding at 10:00 or 10:30 pm and sleep until 6 am. Now he is 12 weeks old & sleeps until 7:30 or 8 am. This book was a life saver. There are ideas in this book that I didn't follow. I had to use my mommy instincts. I am not big on the "crying out" routine. My pediatrician said do not let him cry for more than 5 minutes before checking on him. During his day time naps, I would wait 5 minutes (if he was crying) and go check on him. I would put his pacifier back in, rub his belly & leave the room. It worked great. Other people who disagree with this book totally misinterpret it. The doctor says over and over that you must use your instinct. This book will help you get your baby to sleep through the night & nap on his own. My baby has become very independent & goes to sleep on his own without being in a swing, swaddler, car seat, etc. I put him down for a nap in his bed (while he is awake) & he soothes himself to sleep. I will use this method on every one of my children. It really works!

This Book Promised.....And Delivered

This book was highly recommended by my friends who were new moms. It was given to me as a gift last May (2007) and I still refer back to it. My son was sleeping through the night at 10 weeks old! This book also promised me that if I followed their routine I would have a happy baby and that people everywhere would not be able to believe what a good baby I have. THEY WERE RIGHT!!!! I have the happiest baby! I get compliments on how good he is all the time. I heard a my sister-in-law's mother-in-law asking her if my baby ever cried. I just sat back and smiled!! I refer this book to every woman I know who is having a baby. You will be happy you bought it when your baby is happy and sleeping through the night!!
