Editorial Review:
The infant management concepts presented in this book have found favor with over two million parents and twice as many contented babies. On Becoming Babywise brings hope to the tired and bewildered parents looking for an alternative to sleepless nights and fussy babies. The Babywise Parent Directed Feeding concept has enough structure to bring security and order to your baby's world, yet enough flexibility to give mom freedom to respond to any need at any time. It teaches parents how to lovingly guide their baby's day rather than be guided or enslaved to the infant's unknown needs. The information contained within On Becoming Babywise is loaded with success. Comprehensive breast-feeding follow-up surveys spanning three countries, of mothers using the PDF method verify that as a result of the PDF concepts, 88% breast-feed, compared to the national average of only 54% (from the National Center for Health Statistics). Of these breast-feeding mothers, 80% of them breast-feed exclusively without a formula complement. And while 70% of our mothers are still breast-feeding after six months, the national average encourage to follow demand feeding without any guidelines is only 20%. The mean average time of breast-feeding for PDF moms is 33 1/2 weeks, well above the national average. Over 50% of PDF mothers extend their breast-feeding toward and well into the first year. Added to these statistics is another critical factor. The average breast-fed PDF baby sleeps continuously through night seven to eight hours between weeks seven and nine. Healthy sleep in infants is analogous to healthy growth and development. Find out for yourself why a world of parents and pediatricians utilize the concepts found in On Becoming Babywise.

Rating:  - Helped me as a new mom
I rushed to buy this book after my son was born. I don't agree with everything in it but the techniques worked!
Rating:  - Great book
We read and followed the guidance of this book and the baby started by sleeping 5 hours straight. She later went to 8 hours straight and now is at 11-12 hours stright through the night. great book.
Rating: - These Critiques are over the top!
I used this book for my first child and he was sleeping 6 hours a night from 3 months old. Every single mom that I know who uses it loves it. It is flexible and practicle and realistic for our changing schedules. These critiques sound like they only read half the book. Ezzo says over and over that you need to be flexible.
He does NOT encourage you to let your child cry it out until they are 3 months old. Even then he says to let them cry for 5 minutes then go and check on them and then ... Read More
Rating: - Sleeping through night at 5 weeks.
I tell people our next child could be completely different, but there must be something to the method.
My wife and I (mostly her) followed "Baby Wise" and at 5 weeks our baby was sleeping 8 hours or more a night, every night, and was measured by a doctor to be in the 95th percentile for weight and length.
That all I have to say about that!

Rating: - This is a wonderful book! Best for moms-to-be.
This is absolutely one of the best books for any mom-to-be (or mom-to-be-again). Whether you decide to follow the advice strictly or not, this book gives you great insight on life after bringing baby home. The basic principals set up in this book (like flexible scheduling and encouraging a sleep-eat-wake schedule) can be applied to almost any situation. Though, yes, bringing a baby home is a huge challenge and this book will not relieve you of all your future parental worries and frustrations - it will ... Read More
