Well I guess Adam and Eve were out of luck. Come to think of it I guess Mary and Joseph were out of luck too. Babywise wasn’t around then. Poor babies.
It would seem that if God would have wanted parents to have a step by step guide to feeding and sleeping with little ones He would have it in His word. He doesn’t though, so we are supposed to use His principles and rely on His grace through the process.
There has been a lot of false guilt caused by Babywise. God help people have real guilt and not false.

Nick,
how did you come up with that? How come that parents who demand feed are not leaders??? I think parents who are trying to control their children through forced schedules and all other reduculous “-wise” methods are not leaders, but very insecure people. Why would you try and prove to your child that you are in charge? Don’t you know that already? Don’t you think your child knows that already? I mean your baby and child is totally dependent on you, so what are you trying to prove to him/her? Doesn’t sound very “leader-like” to me. In my opinion the true leader is a person who is sure of him/herself and doesn’t need to prove to a weaker and more dependent person that he/she is in charge.

Stephanie. . . my baby was one of those dx’d “failure to thrive” and I know several more. . . in spite of the “feed a hungry baby” message, BW/Prep leads mothers to misinterpret hungers cues as sleep or other fussyness cues. I know MANY mothers/babies with milk supply issues, failure to thrive or slow growth related to BW.

Here are some of those moms: http://ezzo.info/voices.htm

Wow, Racheal, totally shocked at your answer to “Very Sad.” I cannot even begin to describe how hateful your response to her came across. Yes, everyone has differing beliefs. But “Very Sad” was right – There is a lot of division on this blog, and you were one of the main ones above who came across very unkind with your all caps and points that you stressed. The point here is that there are different parenting styles. I’ve read many baby books and parenting books. I don’t agree with any of them fully. I take what is helpful and leave the rest behind, using the intuition and wisdom God gives me to follow through with what is best for my family. For example, attachment parenting is a very popular style, but this style is not for everyone. Those who practice it say it helps them sleep better to have their child in bed with them. Well, not me. It helped me and my babies sleep better for them to have their own room. Do I judge them for this practice? No. And hopefully they won’t consider me a bad mother for placing my child in his own room as an infant when I see this as the best thing for our entire family, including my baby. There’s too much squabbling among the body of Christ over petty little things when we should support one another and love one another. Each mother should do what is right for her family and make sure she’s not doing what she does out of guilt or pressure from other women to do what appears to be more spiritual. Jesus said they will know we are His disciples because of our love for one another. Do “they” see this love?

You know “quite a few” babies that were starving because of babywise? Let’s not lie, shall we?? It is not even possible for that to be truthful. The book is very clear that a hungry baby should be fed.

It works for a small number of children but I know quite a few that were starving and needed to be put on formula because of this stupid schedule. Just because it worked for you does not mean you should ignore all the recommendations by experts. Also alot of problems do not show up until the kids are older so just wait and see. Ezzo’s own grown children want nothing to do with him.

Let me encourage you…all of my kids were “taught” to self-soothe and two of my four like to be cuddled and the other two don’t mind so much, but aren’t big cuddlers. I think it’s who they individually are and you did nothing wrong. The funny thing is that they are all so different in every other way and I feel like I’ve been raising them to the same standard. funny how that works:o) You’re right, parent as the Lord leads you!

It’s as simple as training for us and it doesn’t really go much deeper than that. Love the eat/wake/sleep cycle. What a blessing it has been to our family. Four happy, healthy and rested babies here:o)
