Any Baby Whisperer followers out there?!

I read and followed the "Baby Whisperer" book with my son. At 2 months he was needing a bottle to fall asleep( a common mistake lots of moms make...but it's important to teach your children to fall a sleep on their own and without the need of sucking or rocking etc). It took a tough 2 days and then he was falling asleep on his own and sleeping 12-13 hours a night ( still waking to feed till 6 months) and at 23 months he LOVES bedtime and asks to go for naps and to bed and sleeps 13 hours a night. I believe Baby Whisperer helped us out sooo much and made my son the amazing independent sleeper he is today:)

Anyone else a follower or planning on reading this book?!!

I've never heard of it. I read The Happiest Baby on the block when I was pregnant with DD and she was always such a calm baby.

I heard that one"happiest baby on the block" was a good one as well:) I want to pick that up before this baby comes!

I plan on getting it. My friend has a newborn and said there's things she really likes about "happiest baby" but then things that don't work as well as they say (she did say it's great for getting the newborn swaddling technique down). I've heard more real life success stories from Whisperer.

I'm actually reading the Baby Whisperer right now and I really like her style...very practical.  I received the book from a co-worker who got canned and was purging her book shelves   I also want to read Happiest Baby to compare and choose what practices we like best.

I have heard of moms who have had great success with it.  Don't you also wear a belt type thing that mimics the sound of a heart beating?

I had great success with it..but it takes patience! And it's so good to have your baby on a routine! Babies crave routine! I never wore any belt type thing? Hmm?

i read and really enjoyed it...and plan on implementing quite a bit of it...very similar to Babywise method.

hated hated hated babywise and wanted to throw it across the room after I read it. Loved baby whisperer...similar concept...however you can still pick them up when they cry for a moment. Our son sleeps like a rock.
