Definitely not my favorite product. We followed wake windows and our LO is a great sleeper, no help from this book. Aug 07, 2023

Has some helpful concepts and overall a good philosophy about baby joining the family and needing to adjust to the family. I found the schedules stressful and found more success with reading baby cues Jun 01, 2022
Great book for learning about sleep training your baby. The info was very helpful & useful. This book is a must-have if you want to get your baby sleeping through the night. Mar 30, 2022

Hands down the best sleep book for kids. For my second I needed sleep did baby wise. I started at 6 months. He's never cried when put to bed. He puts himself in his bed to nap or sleep on his own. Aug 11, 2021

This was a great book with lots of practical advice! I read it and was already to use it and then I had a preemie. Some of the advice was still very applicable. I’m glad I read it. May 31, 2021

This book helped us a lot especially with sleep training. I would go back a reference the feeding and sleep schedule portions repeatedly as he grew. Mar 04, 2019

Wish I would have read this book before our 1st! Finally read with our 3rd and it made a world of difference! I considered the points in the book and put to use what I felt would work for us. Feb 23, 2019

If you're expecting a baby or already have one, do yourself a favor and get this book. It's all about helping your baby to sleep and nap well and reliably, and who doesn't want that? Feb 06, 2019

This is a great book to use as a reference. In my opinion, it's boring, but super helpful. You need to be flexible with it though. Don't feel like you need to follow it exactly all the time. Jan 31, 2019

I like the idea of this book. I did not understand how to implement the strict schedule while in a sleep-deprived state. I use it now for reference and it's helpful but didn't help when I needed it. Jan 04, 2019

This book was very informational but easy to read. I think it will definitely help me to get my baby on a schedule quicker. Oct 15, 2018

I love the concepts taught in here. For me it was a great book for my first child. It doesn't apply as easily now that I have my 2nd and 3rd, but I still use many concepts with all 3 kids. Aug 11, 2018

This is a must have for parents that need/want a daily routine! I had to go back to work so it was so important my child got on a schedule & I got some sleep! My son was sleeping an avg of 7 hrs/night May 16, 2017

This book made me feel like a failure. It's so rigid and unforgiving. Many other sleep resources out there. Skip this one! Jan 31, 2017

The concept of parent directed feedings and helping kids recognize days vs nights WORKS, in my experience - "routines" with babies keep everyone happy and helps you enjoy motherhood :) Nov 16, 2016

Iam thankful a friend gave me this book when I was pregnant with my first child. This book has been very helpful with scheduling sleep/eat routines for our babies. Oct 05, 2016

This is 1 of only 3 books I read during/after pregnancy and I appreciated what it had to offer. I mixed this information in with my other 2 books and we came to a really great schedule in my family. Sep 08, 2023

We didn't follow it perfectly but it was SO SO helpful and the main premise of wake feed play sleep made so much sense. Feb 27, 2022

I personally found some of the information beneficial, but the tone and language was way too condescending and "method-y" for me. Not a fan. Feb 19, 2020

Overall, I thought the points made were valid but there is a lot of unnecessary information and the author is really negative about other approaches. Oct 26, 2017

I read this before I had a baby and it made sense. When i actually had a baby it seemed completely wrong! May 11, 2017

My daughter slept through my night at 1 month & took naps like clockwork! She is 21m & takes a 2-3hour nap every day. I'm so glad I read this book! Apr 14, 2017

This book is fantastic at helping parents establish flexible feeding and sleeping routines that are sensitive to baby's needs. I'm so to have this information before the baby arrives! Oct 05, 2016

Followed most, not all, of the concepts and our daughter starting sleeping through the night at 7.5 weeks old! Love most of this book. Some things I don't agree with. Just read with a grain of salt. Aug 26, 2016

I used a lot of the concepts from this for my son. I think it worked moderately well for my son. For the price, I think it is worth looking into to at least get ideas. Feb 09, 2016

Some interesting concepts but overall didn't work for us Jan 24, 2016

Beware of the Ezzos. Please read the mother-baby behavioral sleep study research by Dr. James McKenna. He touches on SIDS as well. I understand a schedule is helpful, but the Ezzos take it too far. Aug 21, 2014

This was one of the few books I actually read through. I think it's one of those that you have to take what works for you and ignore the rest. It did help me get my son on a great schedule. Apr 11, 2014

THIS IS A MUST HAVE! this book is the reason my daughter went from wake up at 3am and 6 am to sleeping from 10pm to 1pm the next day!!! Now she sleeps 10pm - 10am!! I owe it all to becoming Baby Wise! Feb 26, 2014

Read it with a grain of salt, take the ideas that you want to implement and forget about the rest. It's flexible, adapt it to fit your needs. Jan 31, 2014

Such a great read. Totally helped with sleep training. But of course, let me preface by saying to always take everything you read with a grain of salt. It helped me, but it may not help you & your kid Jan 15, 2014
a wonderful book to help keep your sanity, to know youre not alone in troubles with baby sleep/etc. a must read for new parents. Sep 24, 2013

seriously DO NOT buy this book. It's full of non-medical based recommendations/opinions that are not only unadvisable and difficult to follow, but can also be potentially hazardous to follow. Jul 30, 2013
