Title: No Scientific Studies Cited
Product review: I'm a big fan of the AP style, so I checked out this book. It's terribly written. Dr. and Mrs. Sears what were you thinking? You write things like "Studies show that the more a mother and baby nurse, the higher the mother's prolactic levels" and "Researchers at Stanford University found that babies settle best when held by caregivers who move in all planes of motion..." Could you please cite your sources? Which studies? There are no footnotes and no annotated bibliography. If you are going to write a book and use research to back up your style of parenting, please tell us these studies and scientists so that we can read the studies for ourselves. That's all I'm saying. Otherwise it looks like rhetoric and that your trying to make money by selling a poorly and quickly written book.
