This is a list critics to the book/method: Babywise has been criticized by experts in infant growth, feeding, sleep and development, including Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, MD, FAAP, Professor Emeritas, Harvard Medical School, and developer of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale[1], Richard Ferber, MD, Director, Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston [2], and Arnold Tanis, MD, FAAP, Past President, Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics[3]. In 1997, the American Academy of Pediatrics responded to a flurry of press reports about Babywise by issuing a Media Alert stating that feeding schedules designed by parents may put infants at risk for poor weight gain and dehydration.[4] However, other health care professionals support Babywise.[5] and the book itself lists endorsements from several physicians (Babywise, 2006). from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babywise RE: Babywise.

I can't imagine doing that stuff to my children. Even when I knew next to nothing about baby care, I still had some instincts, and certainly human compassion for my baby. But, I've seen enough horrific parenting that it seems evident that some people actually don't see their babies as feeling creatures, but as little things that may cry for no reason. When I first began to read about AP, I thought, What's the big deal, doesn't everyone pretty much parent this way? How could they not? But, of course I was wrong.

I'm glad you all were there to teach her. I never thought of CIO being an abuse of power, but it really is, isn’t it! I’m glad you all were there to teach her.
