I don't know why so many people dislike this book. How can letting a baby get the sleep they need to function be a bad thing?

*If you feel the need to carry your baby around 24x7, then you won't like the book. He recommends letting them sleep undisturbed. But that is not a reason to hate the man. I don't go around saying baby slings, or the books recommending them are dangerous. He has his opinion, and is allowed to.*

When I nursed like they told me in the hospital my milk supply went down. My daughter would snack and snack, then be hungry again in 30 min.
I did like he said and kept her awake to feed for half an hour, play for a while, then she would sleep well for about 2 hours or so and be ready to eat again. After that my milk supply was abundant, and I had a nice, fat (healthy) happy baby!
Nothing in this book is harmful!
He doesn't say to neglect your child, or not check on them. Perhaps people are reading out of context?
My girls are now 10 and 12. We are homeschoolers. They are very attached to me and my husband. Not warped or in any way damaged because I let them get on a natural schedule just the way Gary Ezzo suggested. In fact, both of them are very good sleepers, probably get better sleep than I do!
