Read the updated version at the suggestion of trusted friends and mentors. Really awesome advice and suggestions. Most practical are the “what to expect” charts provided for weeks after baby is born.
Repetitive and wordy, with a definite "trust me bro" vibe rather than scientific or data-driven explanations. Overall seems like it has good ideas though.
Some good info, but repetitive in parts. Some parts seem to contradict other baby books I've read. What is the right answer?!

There is definitely helpful information in here but some of it seems incredibly outdated. I’d recommend this book for creating a sleep schedule but with the warning to take recommendations on products and certain behaviors with caution.
Some other reviews caution that it’s not specific enough but I think it’s as specific as it can be with every child being different. The author offers some helpful solutions to common problems with sleep.

I was hesitant to start this book because I had heard about how controversial it was, but it was recommended to me by several other women, so I took it as a sign that I should give it a try. When I came across this book at a local thrift store for $0.79, I couldn't pass that up, so I went ahead & bought it & read it w/an open mind. Yes, there were SOME things I disagreed with, but for the most part, I didn't have any issues w/the suggestions & even tried a few that worked! Our son is a little over 2 months now & has been waking up usually once during the night; I can't complain about that! I like to educate myself & gain knowledge & wisdom from others regarding parenting, but in the end, I go w/my gut & my values.
Am I ready? No. Do I think this is a solid plan? Yes. I think the charts will be helpful and combining this with what my Dr says, I feel better than if I just listened to friends and family and social media.
