Peter and Brooke Kotsonis,

Very beautifully put! Thank you for sharing that.

Thank you Janice! Very well said. I think the "think" part is often left out by parents who end up hating Babywise. They fail to use common sense and look to a book to answer everything (which the book itself says it cannot do).

TulipGirl, you might not aggressively bash BW parents (though I think I could make a strong passive aggressive argument), but there are plenty who do. There is even one particular person who likes to show up on this blog to tell me I am "dumb" each day. If that isn't bashing, I don't know what is.

Thanks for sharing that Lauren!

Sum, I would tell him that's a no, then if he doesn't stop, I would physically move him. At that age, you need to distract and remove. Don't let it turn into a battle of wills between the two of you. When you remove him, you will show him it is not okay for him to continue doing what he is doing.

When we were expecting our first child one of my good friends gave me a gift bag with the two items that she found most helpful during her first pregnancy: stretch mark cream, and a copy of “Baby Wise.” It was early in our pregnancy and we hadn’t done much thinking about different strategies, but we were open to exploring options. Before reading the book I did some research and of course

Of all the anti-babywise stuff I've found, usually the person either has not read Babywise, has mis-read Babywise, has misinterpreted Babywise, has taken statements out of context, and/or has misapplied Babywise. I think Babywise has been great for my baby. He's a very happy, healthy, well-rested, breastfed baby.

I have loved babywise and I can honestly say my 13 month old is not only a happy baby but sleeps like a champ and our marriage benefits so much from the schedule! We love our little girl more than anything and this parenting style has worked incredible for us. Ironically enough a couple weeks ago I stumbled upon that website and a couple others and wrote a blog entry on parenting and how much I

My daughter is now 10 weeks old, and I have been trying Babywise from the start. When she was 4 days old and I was frustrated (going through many of the things I saw on anti-Ezzo stories just now when I looked), I found this blog. When I get frustrated and confused and don't know what to do, I look at this blog and there is almost always an answer! When there isn't one, I remember that

Thank you for the acknowledgment of the efforts we put into our annual blogging of Ezzo Week at tulipgirl.com! I do appreciate it!

But just to clarify, I am not "extreme" in any way, and I do not "bash" parents at all. Hey! I was a Babywise mom, too! Thrilled and sharing my success stories! Until I looked closer at the real consequences of what we were doing. .

I would be lost without the principles that were taught in Babywise. We actually read "Preparation to Parenting", which is nearly the same thing.

When my daughter was born 9 weeks early it was quite a surprise! She came home a month after she was born, and luckily the hospital did all the hard work. She was already on a schedule of eating every three hours and slept great.

Speaking of success stories (I already sent mine in), I'm looking for some success in the discipline department with my 13-month old son. He's started getting into things that I don't want him to (ie, pulling all the folded towels out of the bathroom cabinet or - less safe - playing with his dad's bike, which can't really be moved more out of the way right now). When I call
