I would give this book 5 stars. My baby slept consistently for 5-6 hours straight at night around 7 weeks. I nursed on a schedule but did not let the clock dictate like he suggests. My baby was happy, healthy and I never had an issue with my milk supply (and I nursed until my son was 12 1/2 months). If you plan to parent using the attachment method, then do not bother reading this book because it will go against what you want to do. But for those of us looking to have some predictability and routine (both of which are good for babies too), I would highly recommend this book. Another reviewer suggested waiting until your baby was 2 months before implementing the suggested schedule. My thoughts (which are suggested in the book) are to focus on getting your baby to eat until he/she is full at each nursing session for the first couple weeks. It's difficult enough to keep them awake at this stage so trying too much too soon can be overwhelming. A very helpful book and one I will be using again soon when baby #2 is born.
