On Becoming Babywise, Book Two: Parenting Your Five to Twelve-Month-Old Through the Babyhood Transitions

by Gary Ezzo

Overview

It's reality-check time! You're at least four months into your tour of parenting, and the complexities of child training are starting to multiply. As your baby is growing physically, his mind is adapting with an increasing awareness to new sights, sounds and sensations. He can now interact with his material universe with greater attentiveness. Now feeding time is more than a biological response initiated by a baby's sucking refles. For the five-month-old, meal times become a complex and conscious interaction between child and parent, food and drink, preference and need, likes and dislikes, must do and won't do! Watch out - big changes are coming to their world and yours!
In his 26th year in practice, join pediatrician Robert Bucknam, M.D. and co-author Gary Ezzo to discover the proven methods that more than 8 million parents have made their own with incredible success. The second half of your child's first year of life holds some of the most powerful windows into their cognitive and emotional growth and development.

As a pediatrician, the healthy growth of children is the central concern of my practice. By definition, "healthy" means more than positive ear, nose, and throat examinations-- it also implies emotional, physical, moral, and cognitive fitness. It includes giving a baby the best environment to grow, flourish and reach his or her full potential at each stage of development. --Dr. Robert Bucknam, M.D., Founder & Director of Cornerstone Pediatrics-Louisville, CO (author of On Becoming Babywise 2 and the On Becoming best selling series)

What People are Saying About This

Robert P. Turner

As a practicing pediatric neurologist, husband, and father, I fully endorse and highly recommend Babywise 11. The principles found in this book are immensely practical and universally applicable. If the principles of structure and routine found in this resource were widely applied in the early months and years as they should be, I would see far fewer patients over the age of two with behavioral deficiencies and neurologic challenges. --Robert P. Turner, M.D. of Richmond, Virginia

Peter Y. S. Kim

As a Babywise pediatrician, every newborn baby is a challenge and excitement to me, because I know I can help them with their moral behaviors as well as their physical well-being. Babywise 2 enables me to contribute to the structure and behavior of children, which is much needed in our society. This wonderful, practical, and effective book is an invaluable asset to my practice, since no other medical textbook strikes so deeply into the basic needs in life. --Peter Y. S. Kim, M.D. of Valencia, California

Saphry-May Liauw

As an Asian and America-trained pediatrician, I know the principles of Babywise 11 work cross-culturally. Here is a resource that will help parents guide their babies with confidence and success through the three major transitions of the first year -- feeding time, wake time, and sleep time. From experience with my two sons, my daughter, and countless number of patients, I can enthusiastically recommend all the Babywise books as must reads for competent parenting. --Saphry-May Liauw, M.D., M.S. (Pharm), Jakarta, Indonesia
