Title: pro-baby yes, but anti-mom
Product review: Clearly the authors love babies. They'll reassure you that co-sleeping is great, and that you shouldn't feel guilty about picking up your baby every time she cries. But their advice is unrealistic and guilt producing. First, how many people can take baby to work? Then, they give an example of how Mom Sears delays a feeding for a few minutes and guiltily endures baby's anger which lasts throughout the feeding, and learns her lesson--never make baby wait again! Bad, bad Mommy! The reality is, not all of us can immediately cater to every need of an infant at all times. If you conceive of an identity outside of being a mom, or if you ever have to balance baby's long-term needs (like having a roof over his head) against the short term ones (he doesn't want you to leave him and go to work) you will probably find Sears extremely guilt-inducing.
