Title: Inaccurate opinions presented as fact.
Product review: I will admit that I found the developmental guides and the nuts-and-bolts medical information to be somewhat useful. However, this book fails miserably in many key areas. The breastfeeding information is not in tune with current recommendations. The authors start to push weaning in the "ninth month" chapter, whereas the AAP now recommends that babies be breastfed for AT LEAST a year. The authors actually go so far as to attribute all sorts of "dangers" to such practices as babywearing and extended breastfeeding. None of these are backed up by any research.As others have already pointed out, the authors really push the "crying it out" approach, not even presenting it as an "approach" but rather as the "right" way to parent. They refer to parents who do not use this method as "soft-hearted" and "weak-nerved."Overall, I am unable to recommend this book.
