Hi T.,
I was a Nanny for many years, and one of my parents told me it was a must read. Now I'm a parent coach and not only do I recommend the book, but it is my #1 gift for new parents.
What I like is that it is section so parents do not need to read the whole thing, just the sections they need. I had a lot of success with this book!! not only hands on while I was a Nanny, but as a coach helping sleep parents with awake kids = )
I want to tell you one piece advise about this book and all others you read. Take the good and throw away the bad. Make the book work to fit your parenting goals. Remember, these books are written for thousands/millions of families, so some things will work for you, some you won't want. It's ok to pick an choose.
Best of luck, enjoy the read.
