Babies have failed to thrive and even died when parents have followed the advice of this book. Ezzo says that infants who are fed on demand will grow up to be brats who steal, and that they should be fed only every 3 hours, no matter how much they cry. Most child-health experts couldn't disagree more strongly. In the case of breastfed infants, the practice of limiting feeds by the clock in the early months can lead to breastfeeding difficulties, low weight gain, or even dehydration.Do NOT use this book. It advocates cruel and unusal punishment under the guise of biblically inspired parenting advice. Anything less Godly is unimaginable.
