Baby Wise

A friend recently introduced me to Baby Wise which is a series of books on how to successfully raise your baby from infancy and beyond.  There is a little controversy out there over the Baby Wise method, but I am very impressed by and excited about what I have read so far in On Becoming Baby Wise, as well as from the different testimonies of mothers I know who have raised their children using Baby Wise.
This method helps infants to synchronize their feeding, waketime and nighttime sleep cycles.  A common method for mothers when raising their babies is to let them fall asleep immediately after feeding.  On the contrary, Baby Wise method emphasizes the importance of maintaining a consistent feed-wake-sleep cycle.  This, along with other guidelines provided in the book help babies learn to sleep through the nights earlier and more successfully than many who do not follow this method.

I am excited to try Baby Wise with Courage!
If any of you other Mothers have tried Baby Wise, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
