Baby Wise did a great job of explaining how to get baby into a good sleeping routine. The author can be a bit rigid so I felt like "On Becoming Baby Wise" together with the soft touch of "Baby Whisperer" were a great fit. Those two books have made the baby stage for me much easier and enjoyable.Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686959765148688429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-56099564130200682732009-04-15T07:52:00.000-07:002009-04-15T07:52:00.000-07:00Not exactly a "parenting book" but another book ki...Not exactly a "parenting book" but another book kind of along the same lines that I enjoyed was "I am a Mother" by Jane Clayson Johnson.Kelly A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07590844442230099668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-325058724978269522009-04-14T20:46:00.000-07:002009-04-14T20:46:00.000-07:00I'm a loyal follower of Tracy Hogg and The Baby Wh...I'm a loyal follower of Tracy Hogg and The Baby Whisperer. She only has the three books because she died of melanoma in 2004.<br /><br />The Secrets of the Baby Whisperer is what I would call an all-encompassing baby manual. I love that book. I used it to teach Liesl how to go to sleep, and I loved it!Ruby in the Roughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015047163621783666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-72801462755823503782009-04-14T18:44:00.001-07:002009-04-14T18:44:00.001-07:00Thanks for those suggestions Jessie - I hadn't...Thanks for those suggestions Jessie - I hadn't heard of those ones. That's great!!<br /><br />I know what you mean about L&L Heather. It does seem a bit manipulative sometimes.... but for the most part I think it is great (for me at least). The thing I didn't agree with were when you had your child "pay" for a babysitter if they misbehave (or something like that). I was also unsure about using chores as consequences. For the most part though I loved how it foused on natural consequences, and letting your child learn how to think. It is a fun and easy read.<br /><br />So yes, just remember - read it and take what you like and what works for you.Tannie Datwylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689578919728477769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-34213668317490053632009-04-14T18:29:00.000-07:002009-04-14T18:29:00.000-07:00Actually my favorite parenting book is the one my ...Actually my favorite parenting book is the one my mom gave me that she used. It's called How to Parent by Dr. Fitzhugh Dodson, published in 1970. He has some really great ideas on how to teach children and raise them to be independent thinkers. Also know, though, that much of the basic information is outdated--we no longer sleep babies on their stomachs, or give our babies crazy things for their ailments, and Sesame Street is not a "great new show" on PBS... :)--so you can't read it for that as much, but his ideas on teaching children to play on their own, and encourage different types of development at each age, are great. I have yet to find another parenting book I like as well as this one, and I've read several. <br /><br />I also really liked Your Pregnancy Week by Week quite a bit, but I didn't like Your Child's First Year Week by Week nearly as much, mostly because pregnancies are more predictable, whereas childhood is much more irregular, and so I didn't think the organization worked as well, though the information was still great, and I refer to it often.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676933457827280141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-45606882028497344582009-04-14T15:54:00.000-07:002009-04-14T15:54:00.000-07:00I think Glen Lathem has written some great stuff i...I think Glen Lathem has written some great stuff in "The Power of Positive Parenting." I am excited to read the early childhood version of Love and Logic because I really enjoyed the teaching version and found it effective in the classroom. However, sometimes I feel like I am manipulating my daughter when I use that approach. It is like Tannie mentioned in her post--take bits and pieces from books and use them to fit your style, right? I would like to try out "Christlike Parenting." I wish I could say I try to use the best parenting techniques all the time. . . I don't. But, what I love about reading these books is it gives me more tools, validates what I am doing right, and helps me rededicate myself to becoming better.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587444059463752522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-63640011882536227712009-04-14T13:39:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:39:00.000-07:00I am a fan of Love and Logic as well!

I don't follow is to a T because some of it just doesn't suit my personality or our circumstance, but I use a lot of the principles. <br /><br />Everyone has listed a nice compilation of books. I don't feel like I have much to add.<br /><br />I also really like Tracey Hogg's book. There are some great things that help you understand your baby's cry and temperament better along with sleep training.Jared and Deliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091298654305263506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-81757923131464037842009-04-14T13:02:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:02:00.000-07:00Another great one from Glen Lathem is "Chirstlike ...Another great one from Glen Lathem is "Chirstlike Parenting!"

To be honest, I never did read it cover to cover, but it's broken down well so you can read the sections or chapters that are applicable to your stage of parenting. <br /><br />I started at 6 months with my first child and 4 months with my second and it turned them both into great sleepers. It spells everything out very clearly, which is exactly what I wanted and needed as a new parent. (Obviously that's not for everyone but it was perfect for me.)<br /><br />I'm a huge fan of Love and Logic as well.<br /><br />One I've got on my book shelf but have yet to read is The Power of Positive Parenting.
