Review: Anything written by this man should be removed from bookstore shelves! He has no medical background to make a basis for any of his claims, and his other books are textbook on how to break your childs spirit, I can only imagine his take on birthing. If I could give negative stars, I would!!

Review: as they are really bad. Baby(un)wise creates a family relationship where parents take on the role of being a prison warden to their child with the goal of ensuring complete submission to the parents will. Building long lasting healthy relationships with anyone begins with communication and consideration. Baby(un)wise promotes ignoring the communications of the child by letting the baby "cry it out" - which teachs the child to cry harder, longer, louder until the parent gives in (in frustration and failure which creates a power struggle in the parent-child relationship) or the child passes out from exhaustion (and the child learns not to rely on anyone). Baby(un)wise parents are taught to put their own considerations consistently above those of the child - parent's wants/desires are first (eating schedule, sleeping schedule, cuddling schedule, etc.) and child's second. Consider, instead, creating an environment of total love, of balance, of negotiation - it will really be powerful when the child gets older and the parent and child can negotiate any issue rather than spiral into the predictable power struggles resulting from Baby(un)wise parenting. Any of the Dr Sears or Dr Brazelton parenting books offer better methods. Baby(un)wise is a short-term, poorly developed approach to the challenges of parenting that has life-long negative impacts.

Summary: NO!!!!!!
Review: Do NOT buy this book. This man is an idiot and is a danger to you and your child. If you need a birth book check out "Birthing From Within" or "Ina May's Guide to Natural Childbirth." Dr. Sears also has some excellent books. Following Ezzo's advice is on the verge of child abuse!!!

Summary: Ezzo really needs to get with it or get out.
Review: Everything I'd like to say has already been said by all of the one and two star reviews on this page.
Suffice it to say, Ezzo needs to get out of where he doesn't belong.

Summary: Hey, here are some positive things about this book!
Review: First, all you need to know about the Ezzo empire of misinformation and dangerous health practices is here: http://www.ezzo.infoBut I didn't want this review to be totally negative, I'm a cheery person after all. So here are some suggestions of things you could do with the book that will improve your birthing experience: - Cut it up and use it to make a paper mache belly cast
- use it to start a bonfire in your backyard that you can use for your baby shower/BBQ
- you can bite it during contractions
- use it to clonk anyone on the head who tries to tell you idiotic things during birth like "that baby won't come down" or "your pelvis is too small". Also good for fighting off those unnecessary pelvic exams. (hint: they're ALL unnecessary)
- if you shred it up nice and fine, you can use the paper as mulch for a nice tree to plant when baby is born So there we go! This book has many uses. Reading it just isn't one of the good ones.

Summary: Thanks for the advice!
Review: Hi, as an expectant first time mother trying to get ready and get informed for the care of my little one, I am very glad I looked at your reviews and the Ezzo website! This book was recommended to me by a friend and I was all set to buy and follow it so I really thank you for the alert.

Summary: Read the books before you make judgments
Review: I just wanted to state that Ezzo DOES NOT say to not feed your child. People posting against the Ezzos should make sure they READ the books before criticizing them.

Summary: Mistitled: Should be Pregnancy, Birth and Infancy "Wise"
Review: I picked up this book because I saw the subtitle "Birth by Design" and am always enthralled to see books that actually accentuate women taking a primary or at least partnership role with the caregiver in bringing their child through the birth process. Unfortunately, the book covered very little about the birth process itself. In fact, that is the primary short coming of this book: everything is very minimal, clinically written and dry. I was very disappointed to say the least.
