On Becoming Babywise, Book Two, 2019 Edition: Parenting Your Five to Twelve-Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition

by Robert Bucknam, Gary Ezzo

It's reality-check time! You're at least four months into your tour of parenting, and the complexities of child training are starting to multiply. As your baby is growing physically, his mind is adapting with an increasing awareness to new sights, sounds and sensations. He can now interact with his material universe with greater attentiveness. Now feeding time is more than a biological response initiated by a baby's sucking refles. For the five-month-old, meal times become a complex and conscious interaction between child and parent, food and drink, preference and need, likes and dislikes, must do and won't do! Watch out - big changes are coming to their world and yours! In his 26th year in practice, join pediatrician Robert Bucknam, M.D. and co-author Gary Ezzo to discover the proven methods that more than 8 million parents have made their own with incredible success.  The second half of your child's first year of life holds some of the most powerful windows into their cognitive and emotional growth and development. "As a practicing pediatric neurologist, husband, and father, I fully endorse and highly recommend Babywise 11.  The principles found in this book are immensely practical and universally applicable.  If the principles of structure and routine found in this resource were widely applied in the early months and years as they should be, I would see far fewer patients over the age of two with behavioral deficiencies and neurologic challenges. "                           --- Robert P. Turner, M.D. of Richmond, Virginia

I now possess twice the wisdom of a small baby

[Halie Mitchell · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book definitely gave me some insiders to my 9 month old and I now have a better idea how to help her navigate life. Something’s have changed since this book came out but many haven’t. I will probably be looking back at this book many times as we go through the next couple months. I already know I’ll be getting the next one, toddler wise.

[R.T. Donlon · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of books geared to helping parents navigate real situations are trash but Babywise has seriously made it so that my son sleeps well in his crib all night, just by following logical rules. I swear by it!

Not nearly as information-rich as his first book. Feels like it doesn’t need to be its own book…not much value added.
