Ratings and reviews

Terrible! I was recommended this by a senior citizen and that should have been my warning. This guys voice is so boring, but forget that. If it actually had usual info, Id have tolerated it. I am a Masters degree holding RN therefore I expect real advice from a parenting book. This was Soo hard to follow. Every chapter begins with gibberish, names of authors, names of sections, etc. Just when you want to hear the chapter you have to listen intently to things that are irreverent. I have many audio books and they do not read every word printed. Rather they read the content and have a section for table of contents and references. Every time he got started on what sounded like something good, we ended up on another tangent about prehistoric times or a mother in a far away land. Far from educational, doesn't stay on topic. Learned nothing. Want a refund and can't get it! "A swaddled baby will eventually stop crying" is not worth $14.99 and my time. Way to wordy as well.

Great for a first time parent!! Extremely helpful and when done right it works!!
