Title: Lifestyle Preference not Medical Reference
Product review: This book is heavy on lifestyle suggestions and weak on medical facts. It instructs the new partent to disregard the advice of your pediatrician on the issues of "crying" and "where your baby sleeps". On the latter issue the book recomends allowing your baby to sleep in your bed for up to two years and reaches the obsurd conclusion that placing a baby in a crib is like putting the child in a "wooden cage". The authors go so far as to suggest that intimacy with your partner in the early months is permissible in this bed sharing environment. Common sense and our trusted pediatrician says this information is bogus. It seems that the book's authors have disdane for the "Western" method of child rearing and do not hesitate to lash out against it. I was looking for medical facts, not lifestyle recomendations. This book has been a waste of money, time and fustrating when you have a sick baby and need cold hard facts to make the baby feel better.
