This book gives dangerous advise, esp about breastfeeding. Many babies have been diagnosed as dehydrated and failure to thrive to the horror of the mothers following the advise of this book.

I would never recommend this book to anyone I know. I was given this book as a gift and at my first reading of if I thought it sounded reasonable enough. Who after all wants a spoiled child that calls all the shots, aren't routines what a child needs? And there in lies the issue - children and toddlers often thrive on routine, infants are often very different. What works one week may be totally different as your infant reaches a new milestone or is working towards a new development or growth spurt. This book is rigid, and on further research on e authors outright dangerous. My copy promptly ended up in the trash (sadly not before it left me doubting myself as a new mother and my young son crying himself to exhaustion). Do yourself a favor, listen to your inner momma voice it's right more than you give yourself credit for, and stay far away from is awful book.
