Only half way through this book and loving it! The title is right in the sense that this is a "commonsense guide" but it is great to have some kind of affirmation that what you are doing is the right thing, especialy being a 1st time parent. I especially appreciate the authors' acknowledgment that all of their ideas will not work for everyone or that not everyone will need to use all of their ideas. A.P. is a very natural, intuitive way of parenting and this book is very helpful in helping you realize these intuitions and to go with them. I personally have a hard time going with my gut instincts - I tend to doubt myself and usually listen to an outside opinion - but this book has made me a little more aware of my instincts, or more the fact that my feelings ARE insticnts, and that makes it quite a bit easier to recognize them and to listen to myself. This is especially important in the area of child rearing because no one at all knows my child or what is best for them better than I do. It's a definite confidence booster! Would recommend to everyone!

As a first-time mother, I wanted to do everything in my power to ensure that my (now almost 7-month old) son felt loved, safe and secure. We still co-sleep, I breastfeed on demand, and, at the urging of Dr. Sears and Martha Sears, I initially wore him in a sling as much as possible, which was basically all day. I don't think Dr. Sears realizes how thinly some eager new moms are willing to spread themselves in order to "do what is best for the baby". After about a month of this, I was ready to pass out. I would strongly urge mothers to very first evaluate their circumstances, and decide what their personal limit is, because the more you wear the baby, the more abnormal it becomes for him to lie in the bassinet, the bouncy seat, or anywhere else. Babies are smart, and the more you wear them, the more they resist being put down. For me, it had gotten to the point that I couldn't even shower, because they baby would cry the minute I put him down. My husband works long and variable hours, and we have no family in town, so I had no relief. Very gradually, I began putting him down little by little, and eventually he started to enjoy playing independently in his bouncer, and now in his Baby Einstein activity center. Please, don't make my mistake. Wear your baby in moderation. If you don't, you will exhaust yourself, your marriage will suffer, and the baby will be very anxious unless he is held.

The Dr. Sears books have been a staple for parents for years.
I am a new mom and must admit that these books have actually comforted me with such great and basic advice.

I happen to love this book although I think it is so sad that it ever had to be written at all. My husband is luckily from another culture and if it had not been for his support I would have probably have listened to my parents, doctors, and the majority of mothers that I have met and done to whole cry it out, making my infant adhere to a strict, un-flexible schedule, and not holding thing. My husband's culture is non-violent compared to our culture. Murders in the his country of origin our seldom heard of and rare. The mothers and fathers in his country value family and children instead of money and material things as in our culture and get this the parents when they are older are taken care of their children. These same children love and respect them for who they are not what they buy them. Here in the US a lot of kids don't respect their parents and only care about getting the latest video game, etc. His culture is warm and nuturing torward children and although the culture as a whole practices "attachment parenting" it is just a normal occurence for them and it isn't in books and labeled there. I have no idea why books like this have to even be written when people should just know to treat infants and children kindly, but unfortunately since most of us in America have been raised in this manner and all the other parenting books I have purchased besides this one all talk about baby training and letting infants self sooth, etc. I guess that is why bad habits continue on with the subsequent generations. Mothers and fathers should love and nurture their children, hold them, and not allow them to self sooth like parents in many other (non-violent) cultures, and William Sears and his wife should not have to put a label on what is basic parenting that should come natural to every single parent in our country. Open your minds and please read this book and take something from it. Please educate yourselves and make our culture non-violent for our children.
