I like the concept of "Baby Signs," but the book is just okay, actually, kind of unnecessary, just get a print out of the signs with instructions. "Baby Minds" was not my cup of tea either ("What's Going on in there?" is SOOO much better). I'm halfway through "Parent Effectiveness Training: The Proven Program for Raising Responsible Children," and it seems to be pretty good. I'd recommend it to attachment parenting parents. I just ordered "How Weaning Happens," "The No-Cry Discipline Solution," "Mothering Your Nursing Toddler," and "Parking Lot Rules & 75 Other Ideas for Raising Amazing Children." My mom is bringing them over, I'll have to let you know how they are later.

I have a severe dislike for Weissbluth and his most referred to (extinction) methods. As an attachment parenting advocate, I found him and all the CIO books to be harsh and inconsistent with child development. I preferred The No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley or Dr. Sears The Baby Sleep Book. I also dislike What to Expect The First Year (anti-cosleeping, pro-early weaning). I actually tolerated the book until around six months... early-weaning... no thank you! Books I did like-- The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding The No-Cry Sleep Solution (Baby and Toddler versions) The Baby Sleep Book How Weaning Happens The No-Cry Discipline Solution (a lot of information on how to communicate and understand child development) I know there are more, but they are slipping my mind. As I remember, I'll come back!
