Babywise Sleep Solutions: Begin as You Mean to Go with (To the Point)

This book made its way to me when I had my babies. (2001, 2009) I read the book so much that it fell apart!It is a book about getting your child on a sleep/awake schedule so they can sleep through the night at 3 months, and both my boys slept through the night right at 3 months. For all those mothers out there who are sleep deprived, this is your book.

As a FTM this book has been absolutely amazing! The core principles surround establishing healthy metabolic patterns of eating which aid in healthy sleep patterns (or at least thats been my major take away). Trigger warning: it does have a brief chapter where is pulls recommendations for AAP that letting a baby cry it out is acceptable at times; however this is by no means the main message! We have had amazing success with sleep which I attribute to this book and I have never let my baby cry it out.

What an awesome resource! This entire series has abundantly helped my family! Not only did we get all four of our babies to sleep peacefully through the night, we also have been blessed by the common sense parenting insights received from all the other resources of Childwise.life. Life-changing and so very practical! Love it!

Every now and then I feel compelled to write a review of this book. I used this book with the 1st 2 of my children. I so regret it. It was given to me by a woman I admired so I took it as the gospel. How I let my baby cry to sleep will haunt me until I die- she's 22 now. She still has anxiety over things that I relate to using this book in her most precious, most impressionable years. Please- don't use this book. Soothe your babies to sleep. Don't make them adhere to a strict schedule. I could cry thinking about what I did.

This is a great book! Was very helpful getting my baby to sleep and continue a sleep schedule to sleep through the night. Worth the work that it provides. She sleeps through the night and no wake ups.

My newborn slept through the night from 6 weeks old…find the tools for your family and enjoy your nights sleep! Every baby is different find what works for you!

We applied these principles to all 8 of our children and it worked perfectly! Consistence is key. Our babies were sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. Do yourself a huge favor and read this book and apply it.

Comical Product Review: Babywise Sleep SolutionsAh, Babywise Sleep Solutions—the trusty manual for new parents trying to survive the adorable chaos that just crash-landed in their lives. From the poetic intro (yes, there’s poetry—because apparently, your baby is a budding philosopher) to the promises of routine, this book sets out to make you feel like a baby-whispering wizard. Spoiler alert: It mostly works, but don’t expect Hogwarts-level magic.The Parent-Directed Feeding (PDF) strategy is basically a fancy way of saying, “Hey, you’re in charge. Not the baby.” Which, let’s be honest, is refreshing to hear when a 7-pound human has been bossing you around with cries that somehow mean everything and nothing. PDF insists on structure and routine, like the world’s cutest (and loudest) office assistant, except it’s your job to establish the workflow.Available in 25 languages, the book’s international success says, “Babies everywhere are equally skilled at making their parents sleep-deprived zombies.” And while its emphasis on structure might make free-spirited parents cringe (or yawn because they haven’t slept in days), the rest of us are eagerly taking notes like we’re cramming for the parenting SATs.By the end, you might not be molding clay like an artisan, but you’ll at least feel like a parent with a semi-functional system. So, if you’re ready to channel your inner baby CEO and run a tight ship, Babywise Sleep Solutions is your go-to manual. Just don’t forget to laugh when your baby inevitably reminds you who’s really in charge.
