Some utility, but poorly presented

Weissbluth has some valid information to convey based on his research and years of practice. However, the writing is so poor that it is very difficult to get the goods. Sentences are often long and ambiguous due to fuzzy modifiers. Several phrases like "or several weeks later for infants born prematurely" are repeated far too often. Organization of chapters is deceptively sensible, but the contents of each chapter often contain paragraphs that belong in other chapters, leaving the reader confused as to whether the recommendations apply to the featured age group. Chapters contain client vignettes that are often inserted in places having nothing to do with the preceding or subsequent paragraphs, adding to the confusion. Though I was able to ferret out a few useful points to help me with my baby girl's sleep habits (3 months), in general I would recommend that you look for another book that can skillfully convey the information you seek.
