  2. I recommend reading The No Cry Sleep Solution. Something needs to balance out a book like Babywise! I'd be real careful about trying to put a young baby on a "feeding schedule," too. They know what they need!

  3. Thank you for your input. The breast feeding class I took at Vanderbilt supported having a feeding schedule. I am open to reading different materials but I am comfortable with many of the principles taught in the BabyWise book.

    I personally did not find the suggestions in the book to be punitive or adversarial at all. I know many people who have used the principles in BabyWise as a guide and it has worked for them and their children are well nurtured and thriving today.
