This book has some good ideas in it. It promotes a respectful child/parent relationship. It meanders and often is unclear leaving the reader to assume what the suggested good behavior is. This technique is easily interpreted as condescending. It is edited in a way that makes it difficult to read, it contains many small paragraphs and headings.

The formatting of this book makes it very hard to read.

While some of the book was food for thought, I thought a lot of this book wasn't great. For example, I disliked that it implies the mother is the one and only for the baby for the first wee while, then the dad - as if dad is one of these 'strangers' that the baby doesn't need to be held by to start with. Ironically I felt this book forgets that all babies are different even though that's the point they're (I think) trying to get across.

Meh, an okay take on raising kids by just letting them do what comes natural.
