Buy The Book On Becoming Babywise

By Marci Glover


New parents often face tremendous challenges. Nothing in the world can prepare them for the shock of caring for a new baby. The responsibility is overwhelming and many people find themselves not getting enough sleep. After only a few weeks they feel that their lives have been totally taken over by the babies needs and they often become depressed or resentful. This is not a healthy state of affairs for anyone and the entire family will suffer.

There has been an explosion of parenting books in the past few years. It would seem as though today's parents do not have confidence in their child raising skills. They feel that they should look elsewhere for help. With this in mind the latest parenting best seller has been On Becoming Babywise. The authors put a lot of research into their book and it has helped many thousands of parents to get their baby into a good routine.

The book has become a best seller because it really hits a chord with parents. It emphasises the need for structure and routine in a babies life. It has a clearly set out plan that follows well set out guidelines. At the same time readers feel that the flexibility of the program is a real bonus. It shows parents how to establish simple but effective sleeping and feeding programs very early on.

The premise of Babywise is in direct contradiction to the trend of attached parenting. Many parents find this approach too demanding as it requires them to put their child at the center of their lives. Feeding takes place on the demands of the child and sleeping is usually with parents and child in the same bed. For some people this situation works well, but for others it is simply too much.

The Babywise book is divided into twelve chapters that are easy to read. In fact, many parents report reading the entire book in one sitting. They can see immediately the wisdom and common sense of the approach. It moves them through the stages easily and without fuss. The entire process is delivered in a no nonsense and calm manner.

One of the best things to do is read the reviews that are posted on many on line book stores. These can be very helpful to anyone considering buying the book. On the whole the reviews are very positive, however the Babywise system does not work for everyone. Some infants just do not respond well and some parents feel it is just too structured for their life style.

Good feeding and sleeping habits are crucial to proper growth. Both parents and babies will suffer if there long term problems with both of these fundamental aspects of life. Often establishing the routine is easier than the parents expected and they are thrilled to have a happy contented baby and a good nights sleep.

The Babywise method is very valuable for those who do not have their own parents nearby to help them. In today's busy world families are often living hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. The traditional parenting networks have broken down and this book helps to fill a serious void.
