Summary: very helpful
Comment: This book changed my life overnight - and the lives of my baby and husband! No book is perfect, each of our situations is different, but I was totally desperate to find a solution to sleep problems, and I saw a huge improvement after only one day of practicing the methods in this book. I know it will still take some time, but I am amazed.

Summary: Baby Whisperer Review
Comment: This book is filled with great ideas and suggestions!
Apparently raising a baby should be fun and easy; Who knew!!!!
Tracy Hogg simplifies child rearing to its absolute basics, so if you are still suffering from post baby brain loss it still makes sense.
An absolute must read for before you have your baby and for the 'quiet' weeks that follow.

Summary: good, but take it with a grain of salt
Comment: When my lovely daughter recently started going to sleep at 12am instead of 10pm like she did for the first three months of her life I phoned our doctor and she recommended this book. I got this version because it included infancy through toddlerhood and figured it would be good for later too. Now since we have started using it our dear baby girl has been sleeping through the night, in her own crib, in her very own room! The only issue I have is that they go through the intro stuff so fast that it doesn't seem to be explained very well. I still have lots and lots of questions that aren't really being answered from this book but had a feeling they were in her first book (designed for younger babies). So I bought the first book too. But all in all if your in the market to help your baby sleep through the night, this book is helpful, but you have to follow the plans (except you can tweak a little once you get the hang of it).
Also some of what is says is impossible to do unless you have a nanny or child care helper in your home with you, so my advise is adapt her theories to best that you can for your lifestyle and try not to beat yourself up if you can't follow it to the letter, once i figured that out it made my life so much easier.

Summary: Not a big fan
Comment: I thought I had some idea of what I was doing with my 3 month old son. I know that any book should be taken with a grain of salt, but for some reason once we got this book I felt like everything I was doing was wrong. Ever since reading this book my son's sleeping habits have gotten worse. Moral of the story. Don't just buy this book and think all your problems will be solved. Read all of them and make up your own mind on how to do things. Every baby is different and ours did not respond well to these suggestions. Pick up and put down is a joke if you ask me.
On a positive note, this book is comical because the author is british and uses different words for things. Like calling a diaper a nappy. I love the british.

Summary: Easily the most helpful book I have found yet
Comment: As a first time mom to a nearly three week old baby, who really is a no-fuss angelic girl I found I had little questions here and there which seemed an enigma to me but were clearly outlined in this book. The author outlined for me in her trouble-shooting more answers in a period of an hour of reading than the last three weeks of "getting-to-know-my-baby-time."
The way she references other locations in the book where more information can be found is highly useful for getting the answers you need without having to search.
All the other books I had read had been saying that my baby should eat at both breasts each time she feeds, however, I wasn't doing that. I had talked to my pediatrician about it and he wasn't concerned since my baby was putting on weight fantastically and seemed very content. After reading about it AGAIN in "BabyWise" I called the Birth Center where my baby had been born to ask one of the nurses about it. The nurse advised me to switch breasts after 10 minutes. In this book the author illustrates the composition of breastmilk and shows that 10 minutes of eating will only give the baby the first segment of the milk - essentially skim milk - and she won't get the really fatty good milk she needs if she switches breasts after 10 minutes. My daughter had been giving hunger cues every hour late at night since switching to the 10 minute program, I now know it's because she really wasn't getting the heavy sustaining milk to get her through the night...
For those who haven't been able to stomach "BabyWise" and having your baby cry themselves to sleep, this is the happy middle-ground book to still get them on a "routine"
without feeling like you are the world's worst parent.
It's been in my baby's best interest for me to read and understand this book.
