Helpful Score: 4

This book is cruel and detrimental. I regret having followed a few of these methods when I was a brand new mom eager for parenting advice. Babies need their needs to be met on demand, not forced into a system they are too emotionally immature to cope with. Even now I get sad thinking about what I put my baby through- trying to implement such techniques. Please research this book thoroughly as to the pros/and cons. Raising children should not be about making things most convenient for the parent, its about caring and loving your child and giving of yourself even when it feels inconvenient. Besides, this period goes by so quickly- wouldn't you love to look back on it knowing you provided all the holding, cuddling and nurturing you could? Personally, I prefer Darn Good Advice: Parenting, by Barron's. It have been by far the most sensible, balanced, and down to earth approach to parenting I have read.
