Description

In the sample schedule above you’ll notice “sleep routine” comes just before the actual sleep time. It gets its own line, that’s how important it is! This book was surprisingly boring. I don't really think of myself as a health-conscious person, but apparently I read a lot on this topic, because I seem to already have a very solid opinion on almost everything this guy has to say. Some I adamantly agree with, and some I adamantly disagree with. After eating just one poor meal, the arteries of participants in this group dilated 24 percent less than their original state. This study suggests that every meal influences your body's ability to function properly." (p. 198, emphasis the author's)

Repeating this simple pattern throughout the day helps form the healthy sleep habits that make for a full night of rest for all involved. Is the Eat Play Sleep Routine Right for Your Baby? I was eager to read this book, sincerely wanting motivation and ideas for healthier living. Instead it made me feel defeated, so why try? I may try to eat more broccoli and rethink the carbs in a slice of toast but I'm not switching to flax milk. I guess I'm doomed. (Written by an active, happy 70-year-old.) Short Naps: Does baby just continue to take short naps, making this somewhat difficult? See my short naps blog post here for some solutions! If baby is hungry, go ahead and feed them! Otherwise, see if you can wait 30 minutes or so before offering the full feed. The key is keeping the END of the feed within 30 minutes of the next nap, to allow for proper digestion and reduce the chances of developing a "need to feed to sleep" habit. One major problem with this book is that he cites a lot of good studies (that somehow I've already read about many times before) but then draws wildly unsupported conclusions from them. For example, he talks about a study that found a correlation between aggression and eating a lot of trans-fat (p. 108). Good, but he uses it to admonish readers to avoid fat. What? Maybe avoid trans fat, but all fat?! Just a few chapters ago, he was telling us to get a lot of omega-3s. Newsflash: that's also fat.

You can read this book in one or two sittings. You can keep re-reading and using it for the rest of your life! He has even set up on-line tools to help us do so.

From there, he goes on to commit one of my big peeves: observing what works for him and concluding that's what everybody should do. I agree that there are some universals. Everybody needs to sleep, everybody needs to eat. But just because you feel like crap after eating eggs Benedict doesn't give you the right to prescribe yolkless omelets for everyone else from now on. Our bodies are different. Some people can get all the nutrients they need from plant sources, some people need to eat meat. Some people can't tolerate dairy products, some thrive on them. Don't overgeneralize, and don't judge.If you’ve done any reading about baby sleep training, then you are no doubt familiar with the word ‘ Babywise.‘ It’s kind of a buzzword in the world of sleep coaching! The book On Becoming Babywise is one of those controversial volumes. Some parents love and swear by this book, and others strongly disagree. This is easy to understand, once you know the gist of the book. Essentially, Babywise advocates for letting your baby cry it out from a pretty young age.
