I had heard that this book was highly recommended and believed it until I read it. Although most of the information was good, I do believe it is for certain types of parenting styles, like the shared bed and no-cry solutions, which is not realistic in my house. When I read the part about how daycare affects your child in a negative way, I felt like the worst parent in the world. Daycare has been a blessing for all of us, but especially her. Yes, it is hard at first and was probably tough for her but she got used to it and now loves it. So if those above mentioned styles are for you, this book is worth your while.
