Our 10 week old mostly sleeps from 10 pm to 6:30 am. That should be enough of a review of the book. The internet seems to think this guy is either the savior or satan. I found this very helpful for thinking about how to put a baby on a schedule without being rigid (this might be common sense for some people but for me I struggle with schedules). We follow this mostly except for the cry it out part. I'm with the happiest baby advice that we won't do that until he's 12 weeks nor have we needed it. Our little one gets fed every morning at the same time and then we feed him every 2.5-3 Hours through the day. He then sleeps through the night most of the time.
Sorry Gary Ezzo, I will not be putting my kid in his infant seat near a window so that he may learn to self sooth while I go cook dinner for my husband and sew. Is this guy serious?

This book was a little disorganized, and so I ended up making my own cliff notes to read. I didn't follow it to a T, but it did greatly influence my parenting style during the months of infanthood with both of my boys. I really appreciated the suggested ideas and concepts. It tends to be a controversial book, with most people either loving it or hating it. I'd say I tended more toward loving it, but didn't necessarily agree with it 100%.

This book has a ton of great content on infant care, sleep, feeding, and schedules, but reads more like a textbook than anything else. I might recommend this to those looking for sleep schedule examples to follow in the first year, but I see more value in it as a reference resource.
If you are looking for two men to tell you how to breast feed the baby you gave birth to, this is the book for you. Every once in awhile they remember that not every baby is exclusively breast fed and that babies may have two parents.
After seeing this book in action with my nephew, I checked it out from the library, read it and have now purchased it. Here goes nothing! :)
