Has anyone read this yet? My husband's coworker gave it to us (pretabbed lol) She swears by it!

Question

Answer

I did this with my first and it worked great 😊 and I did breastfeed. I didn't follow it strictly but used the basic guidelines along with advice from The Baby Whisperer. My babe had colic and surprisingly putting her on a schedule helped soooo much, before I did scheduling she basically screamed 24/7 and never slept, even though i tried a bunch of different diets and I wore her all day long. But then I used the methods in the book and helped her to learn self soothing techniques and she figured it out so quick and was so much easier when she was sleeping certain amounts every day, plus I was getting breaks! I never really left her to "cry it out", I only let her cry maybe 2 minutes before going in and doing soothing techniques before leaving again. Also, I continued to do a dream feed before I went to sleep at night which helped her make it through till morning. And if she woke she took a paci without complaint. Anyways, every baby is different but I found the guidelines in this book to be useable, even if you don't follow it 100% Good luck 😊

Answer

If you plan on breastfeeding, check out ezzo.info  The AAP has recommended against their feeding advice in that book since the mid-1990's. There are much safer sleep training books, if that's the route you want to go. I'd recommend The No-Cry Sleep Solution, or Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. I'm expecting my fifth baby, and from what I know, all babies are different, and the regimented routines of babywise are not best for babies. Best of luck!
