The Babywise books, its authors and supporters pretty much make me sick. Here's a statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics in regards to the dangers of Babywise methods. Crying-it-out is a whole other post, but for now they're focusing on the Parent-Directed Feeding. Thank you, Danielle, from www.drmomma.org.

You know I actually put in a formal "request for reconsideration of materials" to the Chesterfield County library to try and get them to throw their copy of Babywise away. I haven't heard back yet (I turned it in last week) but I think I have some chance to success thanks to the AAP and also the fact that Ezzo misrepresented his qualifications. If they do pull his books off the shelves I'm going to see if I can get someone in Henrico to challenge the books over there.
