Good book for establishing sleep routine,
By Seckin Petek (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems: Sleeping, Feeding, and Behavior - Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood (Paperback)
"If you follow a structured routine, you will solve all your baby problems" is the idea of this book.
The routine explained in the book is called E.A.S.Y. (Eating, Activity, Sleeping, You). The author explains that the times of the individual elements of the routine will vary according to the baby, but every baby should have a routine if you want to have a life. Eating, Activity, Sleeping and Making Time for yourself are very well explained in the book in an easy-to-read way. If you are breastfeeding, you may not feel any support reading this book, and I can even say that you may get discouraged reading some sections. Although I do not agree with some of the author's ideas on feeding, I would recommend this book if you are looking to establish sleep routines for your baby. I would not use this book as my only source of information on topics mentioned in the book.

Focused on Infants and Toddler Care and Behavior,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems: Sleeping, Feeding, and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood (Hardcover)
I am deeply saddened by Tracy's untimely death just a few months ago. It is comforting to keep in mind that her knowledge and advice in her books and videos will continue to guide parents in a positive direction. Tracy had the "know-how" of calming even the most challenging infant, because she really seemed to understand their language. Because she offered strategies based on the personality of the parents as well as the temperament and personality of the baby, she offers quizes in this book to help parents identify which intervention plan would work best. Believing that babies need to become part of the family - rather than dominate it - Tracy has developed a practical program that parents can begin using at one day old. My only criticism of this book is that there was not enough information relating to specific challenging behaviors of my 3- year-old. The title implies that this book covers issues through age 3. I found the majority of the book addresses a variety of issues focusing on babies under 2. If you have a 2, 3, 4, or 5-year-old, I wish to recommend an A-Z pocket-sized guide I discovered in my pediatrician's office called "The Pocket Parent." This book is written entirely for parents with 2-6 year olds and offers hundreds of suggestions that focus on stopping toddler/preschooler behaviors that can drive you close to your wit's end such as bad words, biting, tantrums, sibling fights, the gimmes, morning crazies, power struggles, lying and whining. Both books address what to do in the heat of the moment as well as how to make a plan to prevent the same behavior from happening again; I found that insight very helpful. Both "THE BABY WHISPERER SOLVES ALL YOUR PROBLEMS" and "THE POCKET PARENT" are excellent additions to your home reference library.

Do not buy "The Baby Whisperer Solves all Your Problems",
By
This review is from: The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems: Sleeping, Feeding, and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood (Hardcover)
Every time I read this book I ended up feeling bad. Although I like the idea of a structure to the day, she goes way over the top. She is condescending and makes you feel like a bad parent if you can't get her ideas to work. Anything that you do that isn't in her book gets called 'accidental parenting'. She also focusses a lot on bottle feeding. For breastfeeding she talks about the baby spending a specific amount of time on each breast and doing yields with a pump as if it gives an accurate indication of how much the baby is getting when it doesn't really. I ended up throwing my copy in the recycling bin. If it gets recycled into toilet paper that would be an appropriate use. I have heard of someone else throwing theirs against the wall and someone else burning their copy. Don't waste your money.
