First, I will say that different cultures will always have different thoughts on raising children. And that is never a bad thing. However this book constantly mentions co-sleeping with infants or even infants and their siblings, and this has been proven time and time again to be dangerous and significantly increase the odds of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Beyond that, only the metric system is used, which is not easily understood for US readers. There were numerous colloquialisms and sayings that did not translate into English at all. And the author continually referred to the baby as "it" which put a bad taste in my mouth. The book starts with half an hour on what sleep is to adults which made no sense to me for a book on what I thought was about infant sleep training.

I listened to the whole thing and really only got one takeaway. Be consistent. Set up a routine and stick to it. And make sure the routine you make is do-able. That's it. Don't waste your time.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
