This book is positively awful. The whole book has a very condescending tone and the author thinks she is an expert but she is just a nanny with no professional training. She's not a doctor or a sleep or breastfeeding expert. To top it off, she writes in this book with an attitude that parents are stupid and they can't figure out what their baby needs without her help. I regret ever reading this book and trying to implement her ideas with my poor high needs baby. What he really needed was instinctive parenting with AP emphasis to thrive. I'm glad I read the other baby book I recieved as a gift-The Baby Book by Dr. Sears. It was a lifesaver.
