This book has received much criticism for its supposed link to failure-to-thrive babies and slow weight gain. However, the ideas presented in this book are sensible and if parents who choose to employ the methods of BabyWise will do so with common sense and use their God-given intuition as parents, then they will be just fine. My husband and I are applying some of the methods talked about in the book with our daughter. She's three months old and was premature. She is now doing just fine; is on a very regular eating schedule and is starting to sleep through the night. I tell people that I "demand feed on a schedule." I feed her when she's hungry but I also take into account the amount of time that has gone by and the other possible reasons she could be crying other than hunger. I repeat, you MUST use COMMON SENSE with this as with any other book. I recommend this book to anyone who wants an alternative to sleep deprivation. :)The only reason I'm posting it here is because I have two copies!
