  <default-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.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't know - I have such a hard time with this book.  Before my first baby I read it probably 5 times - certain that my child would come out of the womb and be on a schedule exactly how this book described it.  And I read nothing else, so I had no backups. This book says there's no such thing as l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15251413">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If taken with a grain of salt, this can be a really helpful resource.  I believe in routine and schedule and sleeping at night.  Some parents don't - bonding and closeness are more important to them - and that's fine.  But for me, this book was a great help in training my little one to sleep through...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14555858">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutley love what these books have to offer, and find them to be right on. I studied infancy and early childhood development, so I didn't go into these books blindly, but found them to work really well, and to be on track with the long terms goals were are trying to help our children accomplish...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9062968">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There is an amusing amount of controversy over this book, considering it is pretty limited and practical.  It is not a comprehensive parenting book, but it does give a good starting place for the mother bringing home a newborn.  It gives a nice general structure for feeding, sleeping and playtime an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2858599">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[	I’m not ashamed to say that I was an absolute mess the first few weeks after Abby was born. I usually pride myself in being a relatively prepared person, but for prepared for infant, I was not. <br/>	My sister recommended I read Baby Wise. The theory behind Baby Wise is basically to let your bab...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48439233">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Can I give it zero stars?  Or negative two?  After reading that the American Academy of Pediatrics has criticized this book (and even linked it to specific cases of babies' deaths and malnutrition/dehydration cases), I picked it up just to take a look.

    <body><![CDATA[What a lifesaver this book was for me.  I highly recommend this book to all new parents.  If the hippie drippy co-sleeping based on the misconcieved birth trauma theory isn't working for ya, try this!  To me this book is sanity in a world gone child-centered mad.  The proof is in the pudding and bot...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42304807">more...</a>]]></body>
