it's a sleep training book, really helpful, we kind of followed it....if i remember correctly, it's sticking to a routine of "eat, play, sleep." 

UsedToBeGoldie

it's a flexible routine of sleep/eat/play that you follow about every 3 hours - to get babies on a schedule...which helps them sleep through the night (STTN) faster than most other methods.  All 3 of my boys were STTN at 8 weeks following babywise.

there is some negative stuff on the internet, made by wackadoos who are upset that the author says that Attachment Parenting (AP) is not good for babies... the extreme AP people get PO'd and created these sites full of lies and misinformation... so if you google- you might find a lot of that.... claiming babywise causes failure to thrive (FTT), etc.... which is totally incorrect.

it's a book - if you want to learn more- i suggest reading the book- b/c most info online is incorrect.

we are huge believers in BW - love it! All of my boys are great sleepers, great eaters, and all around happy babies thanks to it!

I agree that it's more than just a get them to STTN book.  For me, it really helped me structure our day in a way that was good for them and for me.  When our days got off track and things were chaos, it helped me bring things back in line.  I highly recommend it!
