One of the first blogs I ever started reading from time to time is Chronicles of a Babywise Mom. The author does just what the blog title says, and blogs about following the Babywise series of books with her three children. I love that she gives weekly updates about her infants and their schedules. It was so helpful to me as a first time mom to see what was "normal" when it came to my child's schedule. I thought it was strange at first that my newborn daughter's wake times were so short (20 or 30 minutes, other than eating!), but when I saw her children's schedules, I saw that it was very normal for a newborn. She adheres to the Babywise ideas a little more strictly than I do, but it's still been quite a help.
She posted a giveway today about a children's book called Bedtime for Mommy. It looks pretty adorable, and one way to enter the giveaway is to blog about it. Hence today's blog! Click this link to checkout the book for yourself and enter the giveaway if you're interested in it.
I do feel the need to give a little bit of a disclaimer. The author's religious views are incredibly different from mine and probably yours too, so it can be helpful to keep that in mind if you decide to start following her blog (she's a Mormon). The practical aspect of seeing how someone applies Babywise and the rest of the books is still very helpful, and I find that I agree with her on a number of things, such as sleep habits, eating habits, and creating a loving atmosphere that still has firm discipline at home.
