know how discouraging the first eighteen months of parenting can be
without a plan. I know because with my first child I did everything the
opposite of Babywise. Before my second baby was born, I was introduced
to the concepts presented in this book. Applying the principles
revolutionized my thinking. Instead of being in baby bondage, I was
liberated to be the mother God wanted me to be. I have consistently used
Babywise with the women I counsel. These mothers have met with
tremendous success, whether bottle-or breast-feeding. Babywise is
proactive, preventative parenting, minimizing the common problems
often associated with breast-feeding.

What Moms and Dads Are Saying about On Becoming
Babywise
My sister-in-law gave me Babywise when my baby was three months old.
I had read lots and lots of books and magazines, talked to many
experienced mothers, and asked the help of my pediatrician, but nothing
had answered all of my questions—until I read your book. I highly
recommend this book to all mothers and mothers-to-be.

My husband and I had heard all sorts of horror stories and felt so
discouraged and defeated before our baby came. Feeding around the
clock, unexplained fussiness, and bondage (to our baby) were not what we
wanted. We were sure there had to be a more sane way to parent than that.
We were introduced to your concepts a week after our son was born. How
timely! As predicted, our baby was sleeping through the night at five
weeks. We have order in our family and are not ashamed of it. Thank you
for giving us the confidence to do what is best for our son.
