The World's Largest Man: A Memoir
The World's Largest Man: A Memoir

Review:I appreciate the theme but was ultimately distracted by the "hyperbolization" of various aspects essentially to support the humor of the incidents. I appreciated the characters presented but was disappointed in that they were developed more as caricatures than real people . Read more

Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture

Review:I have two daughters who are very into princesses and very girly. I thought this book would be a very interesting read, even if I didn't agree with the author. As I read, I appreciated the author's extensive research. She traveled to far away places to see how the other half lives and truly tried to understand why the princess mentality is important in some cultures and not others. She traveled to universities to witness studies being done as well. However, I felt there was too much of her opini... Read more

The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep from Birth to Age 5
The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep from Birth to Age 5

Review:We put off "sleep training" for too long, assuming it would be so much worse than it actually was. My husband and I and our 10 month old finally hit the braking point--we were all continually exhausted from the night time wake-ups and it was impacting each of us in different ways. We followed the plan in this book exactly and in just two nights our daughter was sleeping through the night with no tears. Highly recommend this helpful book. We didn't read it in its entirety, but skipped ahead to th... Read more

and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood
and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood

Review:I saw first hand how this information can really help new moms. Our daughter used this book on both grandkids,
one girl, one boy...so far. She had them sleeping through the night before they were 3 months old, and both children are just a bundle of love and joy. When we babysit, we know exactly what to do, and there is no question about how
they feel or is this ok. Both grandkids were taking naps at the same time each day, when the youngest was less
than 3 months and the oldest was ... Read more

The Science-Backed Guide to Helping Your Baby Get a Good Night's Sleep-Newborn to School Age
The Science-Backed Guide to Helping Your Baby Get a Good Night's Sleep-Newborn to School Age

Review:Very helpful research based information. Well organized and clear answers to lots of questions. I like this perspective and balanced approach. It is not “cry it out in sheeps clothing” as other reviewers have said- trust me, I’m a breastfeeding, baby wearing, co sleeping mom- but some babies/ kids have to fuss a little as they go to sleep to get that frustration out. There’s a difference between a “I’m frustrated” cry and a distressed cry.
That being said, I have chosen not to sleep train my ... Read more

Use Your Child's Internal Sleep Rhythms for Better Nights and Naps

Review:Read this book just before my baby turned four months. Simple read, to the point and actually works. Restored sanity in my home and has saved my marriage too. Before I did not even have time to shower, baby was sleep deprived and fussy, and all evenings I was perched up on the couch nursing and holding her in my arms. Nights involved upto 6 feedings.
Now baby's schedule is predictable, have time to do stuff and she's in bed early to meet her required sleep hours.
Happy household!!!
I ju... Read more
