On Becoming Baby Wise by Gary Ezzo, Robert Bucknam (2006)

This book is a good Guideline for taking care of your infant. I say guideline, because every baby and every parent is different. Sometimes the "cookie cut" recipes for success need to be modified and tailored to fit the unique differences of the family, addressing flexibility and individuality are just as important as structure and schedule. Keeping this in mind while reading, one can definitely find success with Baby Wise.

As a mother of three and being heavily involved in my MOPS group, I get a lot of feedback from mothers. Many wish they had not read this book- it caused them a lot of guilt and extra stress. Also, there are many mothers I know who's first baby fit into Ezzo's schedule and then when the second baby came and did not fit into the schedule, they realized their first just happened to. Therefore, by the third, they have completely thrown out this program. Not everything is bad with Ezzo but what is unique to Ezzo is not good. The most informational website to do your research is www.ezzo.info The list of critics is overwhelming.
The most helpful book I found (which I did not read until my third child) is Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Sleep Solution. It's a great idea book and you can create your own sleep plan that wokrs for your family and your baby.

this book actually tells you what we already know but at least in my case because of the fact that I just had a baby forgot, or didn't really think about, buy i really, realy like it....
