Book Description
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.

This works!.......2007-10-17
This was a great help and the methods described in the book really work! I was somewhat skeptical of the book but I read through it and discarded the information I didn't find helpful or like but kept the information I could use. Getting our baby on a schedule made a world of difference. We have followed the changes in the schedule as the book suggests and we have a little one who knows when it is time for naps and makes sure you know it's time for him to sleep. He's happy when he's awake and he gets plenty of sleep all thanks in part to the schedule(s) outlined in this book.
Stay away from this book, if you love your child.......2007-10-09
This author wants parents to ignore all instincts and for women to ignore their maternal instincts (i.e., nursing on demand, nurturing your child as they need to be and picking up on child's cues to nurse and be held). This book is all about how to force babies to adapt to parents lives pre-parenthood, without asking parents to adapt to their babies. I think this is an unfortunate book and dangerous to children and parents everywhere. Don't waste your money.
Babies are not animals.......2007-10-09
This kind of "baby training" makes me sick. Babies are PEOPLE, not animals who need to be trained like dogs. They know when they're hungry, they know when they're tired, and they know when they need to be comforted. A sweet little baby spends 9 months nestled inside the warmth of his mother's body. We shouldn't expect a baby to come straight out of the womb and immediately adjust to sleeping in a cold, hard crib away from his mama. When a baby is "crying it out," the only thing she is learning is that she has to depend on herself for comfort because she can't trust anyone to come help her.
People who are considering buying this book should do themselves a big favor and buy some Alfie Kohn books instead. Search "attachment parenting" here on Amazon, and you'll find some worthwhile reading material that will benefit you AND your baby.
Manipulative and unhealthy.......2007-10-09
I bought the book, I read the book, I threw it in the trash.
When my son was born I followed his cues and fed him when he was hungry. Over the next month I could see a sleeping and feeding pattern emerge. He ate and slept at around the same time every day, within the hour, and that was fine with me.
My sister-in-law used Baby Wise with her son, born a few months before my son. She was so hung up on keeping him on a schedule that when mealtime came around he was famished, and would suck down his formula so fast that she would have to give him more. At two weeks old he was taking six oz. of formula - the dr. had to tell her to cut back. By two months old he was enormous and has been ever since. Before a year old he was wearing a size 5 diaper - and no, there are no giants in our family. I'm not talking bone structure, I'm talking fat. So please take note that this method can also result in over-eating.
Certainly it is important to learn to distinguish hunger cues from other types of behavior. The book says to feed your baby when he's hungry, but at the same time emphasizes and reiterates the importance of a feeding schedule. If you are following hunger cues then you should not be worried about watching the clock.
The language of this book is manipulative. The authors present scenarios of a baby fed on demand and a baby fed using the Babywise method. Of course the on-demand baby spiraled into misery while the Baby-wise baby slept all night and bonded with her family. The authors give no evidence to back up the claims they make in the book.
Do yourself a favor and follow the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, or books such as the "What to Expect" series which follow AAP guidelines. Anyone can print their own book making any claim, as these guys have done.
Highly recommended!.......2007-10-07
I have seen lots of negative publicity regarding the BabyWise books that are unwarranted. The book does not tell you to only feed your baby at certain times and ignore the crying, nor does it tell you to leave your baby in a playpen for an hour at a time. What the book does tell you - is to feed on a "schedule" BUT to also be watchful of cues from your baby that they require more feedings (ex/ # of pee/poo diapers). It also tells you to introduce the playpen for 10-15 minutes at a time, 2 times a day - gradually increasing the time to what you feel comfortable with. The book helps you see the common sense in parenting. It is great! I got lots of huffs from people who didn't agree with what I was doing but anyone who meets my daughter says that she is one of the happiest and most contented babies ever. My baby is about to turn a year this month and has done awesome under the philosophies I used from BabyWise I and II. My pediatrician (who didn't know that I was doing BabyWise) said that I was doing a great job with my daughter. Read the book for yourself and decide if it is what you want to do - it is worth it to look into!

A friend recommended this book when I told her about a horrible experience that I had from a co-worker who attempted to destroy my reputation and took credit for a project I put my guts into.
Briles writes with such common sense on who to deal with situations like mine--my only regret is that I didn't discover her wtiting sooner. This is the best book I've read in several years.

Book Description
Since the dawn of time, the peanut gallery has been driving their parents crazy"occasionally entertaining them"with the same phrases uttered over and over and over again. Kids are never neutral on any subject. Nor are they always understood. That"s why Cathy Hamilton has written Kidisms, a book of kidspeak translations for the parentally challenged. It explains timeless phrases used by all children. Are we there yet'Children under the age of 25 have no concept of time, especially while traveling cross-country without the calming effects of an Enya CD or Auto Bingo. The average kid will ask this question every five to ten miles unless his parents can explain the estimated time of arrival in terms he can comprehend:"Okay, pay attention. We left our house at the beginning of Sesame Street and we need to drive through Blue"s Clues, Barney, I Love Lucy, and The Gong Show. We won"t arrive at the hotel until the end of Nick at Nite. Got it'"Other gems translated for the first time:" I know you are, but what am I'" Where do babies come from'" He started it!" But Dad already said I could!
