This is a reference book for me that I keep at my bedside. I basically have a "go with the flow" parenting style so reading this would only give me ideas when I am desparate to try something new.

I am desperate to get my 9 mo. old to sleep through the night. It was a quick read I skimmed it in about an hour. I disagree with a lot of the things she said but it was ok.
