My daugter was sleep deprived, and her baby was fussy most of the time. He sometimes ate every hour during the night. A friend told her about the book and how it helped her when her 2 children were babies. I have a happy grandson and happy daughter now and wish I had had this book when my children were young. When one has tried everything else, why not try some of the advice given in the book. The key was to feed your baby, play until they were tired, and then put them to bed.

I used this material with our first son in 1994 and am using it again for our second son now in 2008. In fact, I am re-ordering it because I want any updates they may have added.
My clear recollection of my first son compared to neighbors' kids born around the same time was that he was calmer, collected, and infinitely more happy and well-adjusted.
If the reader is interested to further investigate the Ezzo's please see their site at gfi.org. The below is a quick blurb from a link at their site:
"Gary Ezzo holds a Master of Arts degree from Biola University, Talbot Theological Seminary and School of Theology and serves as the Executive Director of Growing Families International. Anne Marie Ezzo is a registered nurse, has co-authored On Becoming Birthwise, and Birth by Design, oversees the GEMS (Contact Mom) ministry and ministers alongside her husband. The Ezzo's have 2 married daughters, eight grandchildren."
I suspect that TulipGirl, one of the "reviewers" has her own ax to grind and has not revealed her own preferences, beliefs, associations, or whether on not she has had children of her own.
As for myself, I am a Christian, a father, an accounting manager, and am on the verge of completing my fourth degree. I want the best for my kids and that means I want what works. This stuff definitely works. Please feel free to contact me via this site if you would like.
Thanks,
Don

I have the hard copy of this book as well. It is a helpful book that just makes sense. The narator is kind of hard to listen to at times but the content is good. You may want to get the book as well so you can see the lay out and schedules better.

Be Cautious! Flawed Information. . .
rating: 1
First, much of the medical, developmental, breastfeeding, and sleep information in Babywise is not accurate. A lot of opinions are presented as facts. Consequently, intelligent, loving parents are making decisions based on faulty information--faulty information that can lead to serious problems for baby. (See ezzo.info for details.)
Second, for some babies, the ideas in BW seem to "work." Their inate rhythm is in sync with the schedules promoted by Gary Ezzo. Their belly size can accomodate larger feedings less frequently. They "fit" with the sleep schedule okay. Perhaps some little ones fall into this category. The thing is, there are many babies who do NOT "fit" into the BW type of schedule, and a new mom just doesn't know whether her baby will or not. When people recommend Babywise, how often do you hear the caveat, "Well, some mothers don't make enough milk using this program and some babies end up with delayed growth or sleep disorders or attachment issues--so be careful, and I hope your baby "fits" into it well!"
And finally, c'mon be honest, have you EVER met someone who thought they didn't have common sense? Have you ever met a new mom who would say "oh, I can't be flexible or use common sense, so I better stay away from Babywise!" While each parent is fully responsible for her own actions and her own child, I put the onus of providing sound, researched, medically and developmentally accurate information on the author. And in this area, Gary Ezzo fails to measure up.
Just for clarity. . . I am not criticizing any mother who has used Babywise or discounting your love or common sense. I am criticizing an author and a method with a track record of poor results, even when used by loving, common-sensical parents.
