3.0

While this book makes some good points (e.g. babies cry for reasons other than hunger...maybe they are tired or overheated), I think it's a little too simplistic. I think parenting is very complex and this book treats babies a little too cookie cutter for me. I do really like the scheduling aspect & found it to be very helpful with my own babies, but the rest of it I think isn't for me (for example it gives you an idea of how long your baby "should" nurse, but babies are all so different! My daughter would nurse for around 35-40 mins, but my son is done in about 10 mins). I think using your mommy sense (like spidey sense) is more useful than what this book tell you to do.

*I must note, however, that I found this book to more helpful as a new mother 2 years ago. Second time around it seems kind of silly but now I have experience that I didn't have then.
