On Becoming Babywise The infant management concepts
presented in this book have found favor with over two million parents and twice
as many contented babies. On Becoming Babywise brings hope to the tired and bewildered
parents looking for an alternative to sleepless nights and fussy babies. The Babywise
Parent Directed Feeding concept has enough structure to bring security and order
to your baby's world, yet enough flexibility to give mom freedom to respond to
any need at any time. It teaches parents how to lovingly guide their baby's day
rather than be guided or enslaved to the infant's unknown needs.
The information contained
within On Becoming Babywise is loaded with success. Comprehensive breast-feeding
follow-up surveys spanning three countries, of mothers using the PDF method
verify that as a result of the PDF concepts, 88% breast-feed, compared to the
national average of only 54% (from the National Center for Health Statistics).
Of these breast-feeding mothers, 80% of them breast-feed exclusively without
a formula complement. And while 70% of our mothers are still breast-feeding
after six months, the national average encourage to follow demand feeding without
any guidelines is only 20%. The mean average time of breast-feeding for PDF
moms is 33 1/2 weeks, well above the national average. Over 50% of PDF mothers
extend their breast-feeding toward and well into the first year. Added to these
statistics is another critical factor. The average breast-fed PDF baby sleeps
continuously through night seven to eight hours between weeks seven and nine.
Healthy sleep in infants is analogous to healthy growth and development. Find
out for yourself why a world of parents and pediatricians utilize the concepts
found in On Becoming Babywise. |
