@My Boaz’s Ruth:

I think listening to your own judgement is very important. I would never recommend Ezzo’s Baby Wise (see http://ezzo.info/) or others like Ferber and Weissbluth.

We were taught the Baby Wise system (In a slightly different form) and they don’t teach “by the clock” schedule either. They teach routines. You use the clock as a guideline (my son usually gets up at 3:30p), but you use your own judgement first. (He went down at 12:30 instead of his normal 1, so he’s had the same amount of nap now. Or, It is 3:15p now, that’s good enough) Or even, my kid normally goes down for his nap at 1:00 p, but it is 11:30a and he’s tired now. DON’T keep him up until 1p to satisfy the clock, that’s why God gave us our parental judgement!

So this may be a false dichotomy.

I realize this is an old post – but I thought I’d share since I just re-read your review… I’m reading her no-cry sleep solution for toddlers right now — and in it she has a photograph (and even a description) that made me cringe too – a toddler asleep at the top of stairs and all you see is the feet… um… I’m all for “sleeping wherever” as long as it’s SAFE!

And… I while on some levels reading these books BEFORE you have a baby might really good — in our case it would not have made us avoid our issues… I read her no-cry sleep solution for babies when my babes were tiny — but here we are… we still have issues!!!
