What Health Care Professionals Say about On Becoming
Babywise
My introduction to Babywise came over a decade ago when a discerning
mother in the my practice noticed my frustration and burnout when
dealing with fatigued mothers, fussy babies and their sleepless nights.
She loaned me some audio resources containing principles found in
Babywise. I was profoundly impressed with the relevance of the material
and purchased my first case of Babywise. Over the next year, the change
in my practice was dramatic as I watched the incidence of colicky babies,
sleep disturbed and frustrated parents drop precipitously. With the
Babywise feeding philosophy and the technical assistance of our certified
lactation nurse, it is a pleasure to see parents prepared to parent with
confidence in the critical first few months of life and to note the healthy
outcomes. Word of mouth among our community has helped our practice
grow exponentially. I can’t imagine any pediatrician who has actually
read this book not making it a routine part of their practice.

As family physicians and a husband-wife team, we are often asked
questions related to parenting and the general care of children. Most of
our basic responses are found in On Becoming Babywise. For answering
parenting questions, it has become a practical guide giving us a sense of
competence and confidence as physicians and as parents. When the
principles are put into practice, parents reap abundant rewards.
