Publisher's summary

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 reflex. 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 eight 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.

Critic reviews

"As a practicing pediatric neurologist, husband, and father, I fully endorse and highly recommend Babywise Two. 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

Love this book!

I’m on my third babywise baby. I love the practical advice while still understanding the complexity of being a new parent with a newborn.

Highly recommend: concise and very effective

Following on babywise 1, this book very consiely and effectively gives you the most important information you need to know about your baby development and needs from 5 to 12 months. I'd recommend reading it ahead sure you can "Begin as You Mean to Go".

Just ok

There wasn’t a TON of new information in this book. I love Babywise, so naturally thought I’d love this too.

Extremely outdated information

This book presents extremely outdated, and in many cases, incorrect information (ie: guidance about food introduction and allergies, etc.). I’m sure the authors presented the very best information they had at the time, but the book needs to be revised and updated to reflect current, proven science.
