      Synopsis

      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.

      Life saving advice for those that want their newborns to sleep through the night!by Anonymous

      September 30, 2009: I read this book with my first child and had her sleeping through the night by 8 weeks. I re-read this book before my second child and NO JOKE he was sleeping through the night at 4 weeks. I am convinced that the Eat - Play - Sleep pattern suggested in this book is the reason. Not to mention a nice Swaddle blanket! All I have to say is give it a shot! What do you have to lose other than sleep. A sleep deprived Mom makes for and unhappy family!

      Wonderful book for new parents!by Happy_Mommy22

      September 26, 2009: I highly recommend this book for new parents and those parents that had a hard time getting their infants on a schedule. We were up all night for the first 5 weeks of our daughter's life until I decided to get serious and read this book. The information was so helpful and within 4 weeks of working with her she is now sleeping through the night every night! Before that she would fuss a fair amount and we weren't sure why, but now we know what she needs and she is a happy baby.

      There are follow on books for as they grow. I bet we will be checking those out too!
