After 2 weeks of following the suggestions in this book, my baby had lost weight and was not sleeping at all. We went to the pediatrician and mentioned something the book said and he asked what book. When I told him, he became VERY adament that we throw the book away as he believed that the methods bordered on abuse/neglect and if we did not reassure him that we would stop following it's instruction immediately, he would no longer be our pediatrician. I began looking at info on the website and found that several babies had died as a result of parents neglecting them when following the methods in this book. I felt so terrible about what we had put our new baby through for 2 weeks, he had truly been starving! Like all the other reviews, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS BOOK! Your pediatrian is your best resource for issues, concerns, or questions about parenting and such or contact your local school district and inquire about the Parents as Teachers program which is also a great resource. They can connect you with other parents of children your child's age which can become a great support system. This book should be banned!
