This book is truly apalling. The so-called Christian methods of the Ezzos have been condemned by the American Academy of Pediatrics (a very conservative organization) because so many infants whose parents have followed the advice in this book have had to be treated for failure to thrive (read: starving). The Ezzos have no training at all in nutrition or in the mechanics of breastfeeding yet insist in promoting a rigid feeding schedule which causes breastfed babies to starve, promoting the idea that most modern mothers sadly "can't" breastfeed. I am not even going to go into their ridiculous ideas about how infants are spoiled if you hold them and attend to them or about how they advocate striking babies. Please avoid this book if you care about your child's health. God does not condone child abuse.
