I totally agree with the nurse and the others who were disturbed by this book. I too am a nurse, with several years of pediatric experience. I currently work in a program that helps first-time-mothers learn parenting skills, which includes bonding with and "listening to" their babies. This book completely goes against everything we have learned, and everything we teach. If you read this book, please keep an open mind! Remember, newborns cannot go for long periods without eating. Their blood sugar can drop, and they may become unable to awaken. Please use caution!
