"Why doesn't my baby come with a guidebook?"
Congratulations mothers! I found one!
Back when I was pregnant, I read book after book after book. I wanted to be prepared and know everything I could about how to raise a baby. I am a devout follower of the "Babywise" series and read Babywise I & II multiple times. Despite my avid reading program, questions, concerns, doubts, and issues still constantly arise. After much searching on the Internet, I came across this website: www.babywisemom.com.
I absolutely LOVE this website. It is a "quick reference to find answers to questions you encounter while implementing Babywise...". It has tons of posts on anything you want to know about and the best part is that you can submit questions and in about two weeks, the author will reply with some guidance. I've never posted on the site, but anytime I have a question about an issue Claire is having (currently we are working on separation anxiety), I look to this site for advice.
Obviously, despite my wishes, Claire is still going to have many problems that even the "babywise mom" can't solve, but I will take all the recommendations I can get. So take a peek! Next time you are wondering what to do with your child, I assure you, she will have great suggestions.

I just barely came across this site last week and was so excited! I haven't had a chance to read it yet but I am definitely planning on referring to it for help on some of the hang ups I am having with Carter. I am right there with you, we need a guide book!
I found the book "solve your child's sleep problems" extremely helpful for things like separation anxiety- teething- discovering their feet... you name it.
It seems like learning to sleep is a very long process.
I actually liked that book better than babywise because it covers EVERYTHING!
Bronson still has separation anxiety I think I will check it out!
