3.0 out of 5 stars Some usefull tips but didnt like all the suggestions 4 July 2010
By L. Dorman
Format:Paperback
I bought this book after trying various other books on baby sleep and having difficulty sticking to the routines and suggestions due to haveing a toddler as well as a baby and trying to help a baby to fall asleep by herself with a toddler in the room is difficult.

Tizzie has some usefull tips that I have put into practice like not putting baby into cot unless the end result is going to be sleep so that baby learns that cot is for sleeping. Also her routines are very detailed and she has different routines for different ages and routines for weaning babies, multiples and one for baby and toddler together. However, I use the routines as a guide for what to expect but I prefer to read my baby to know when she is sleepy and her routines are very much by the clock.

The main thing that most mothers want to know about sleep is how to teach their baby to settle themselves and although I found some of her tips usefull, her main suggestion is Cry it out which I was dissapointed with, it isnt for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying 26 July 2012
By Kareme
Format:Paperback
"I absolutely believe that it would do no emotional or psychological damage to a baby to protest for six or seven hours if that's what it takes" pg.200

If this direct quote does not put you off this book then I can't imagine what will.

If you view your baby as an opponent and want to 'win' (winning is mentioned many times in the book) then this is the book for you. Helpful top tips such as making yourself a 'score chart' allocating a point to your baby if you can't stand the screaming and give in and one to you if you can tough it out, apparently if you do this 'after a few days you will be winning every time' seriously??

A section called 'Baby Payback' is just terrifying.... 'I often come across a baby who has learned to vomit at bedtime during failed attempts at controlled crying. If you have one of these babies you will need to teach your child that vomiting will not get your attention.'
My heart breaks for the poor little babies ignored and left to scream until they are so distressed they are sick and then do not even get held, soothed and loved after that. This goes against all of my instincts as a mother, instincts that are there for a good reason.

If I could give this book less than one star I would, if you are a sleep deprived parent frantically searching for a way to get more sleep but want to gently teach the child to feel secure and relax into sleeping, please keep searching and do not buy this book. (Different things work for different babies but mine started sleeping through with a heavily modified version of the sleeping chapters in 'Baby Secrets' + common sense)

This book is really very odd in so many ways (custard apparently causes sleep problems... who knew?!) and I cannot adequately express how much I hate it.... Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful reading 27 April 2011
By DonniC
Format:Paperback
I bought this book when my baby was about 3 months old and not settling into any kind of routine I had tried with her, waking up quite a lot during the night etc etc... Initially I tried to stick rigidly to the routines and the methods Tizzie goes through in the book, but still found baby could not wait until the set time in the routine to feed, would not self settle and did not sleep through the night... UNTIL: I started weaning at 4 months on the advice from Tizzie. This was a revelation and I have since been able to follow (although not to the exact letter) the routine for my baby's age, she has been satisfied, rarely cries, self settles at daytime sleep times and sleeps nearly 12 hours through the night. I don't think I would have started her on a routine as early as Tizzie advises (a matter of a couple of weeks old), but if you have been feeing on demand and waiting for your baby to "settle herself into a routine" (like so many people tell you that she eventually will(!) for a couple of months to no avail, then this book points you in the right direction.
In summary, I found the advice interesting, but would say not to worry about following it too rigidly, just use the parts that suit you (and more importantly, suit your baby).

1.0 out of 5 stars This book teaches you how to create a robot, not nuture your baby 7 July 2011
By lifestooshort
Format:Paperback
This woman calls herself the baby whisperer, she has no qualifications or credentials. She advocates leaving babies to cry for long periods of time which current research shows is detrimental to babies development and to their emotional well being. She encourages parents to pile on blankets that go against SIDS expert advice, she teaches that babies are manipulative little demons that will vomit and dirty their nappies purely for attention. Some of the advice is just staggeringly bad For example:

When your baby has dirtied their nappy to manipulate you into spending extra time with them. She suggests changing the baby after he/she has gone to sleep. "Don't worry if you don't get the bottom of your sleeping baby perfectly clean, says Tizzie, "a little bit of poo will not do any harm between then and the morning"

and also
"I often come across a baby who has learnt to vomit at bedtime during failed attempts at controlled crying. If you have one of these babies you will need to teach your child that vomiting will not get your attention or buy any extra time. This is hard, but it has to be done to stop the vomiting. The way you achieve this is to make the bed vomit-proof. Layer the towels in the bed and on the floor so it is easy for you to remove the vomit. When your baby vomits take the top towels away, leaving a second layer in case of a second vomit. If the vomit has gone on her clothing, undress her and put clean clothes on without taking her out of the cot by moving her to the other end. Do not make eye contact or talk to her while you do all this and be calm and confident through out, so you can fool your baby into thinking you don't care about vomit."

These babies are so distressed they are throwing up. That is abusive and neglectful.... Read more ›
