Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam, M.D. On Becoming Babywise This book is a secular take on the fundamentalist view that babies are evil manipulative creatures. It advocates a feeding schedule that has no basis in lactation physiology, and encourages parents to ignore babies' cries so as to break their spirits. So far out of the mainstream that it has even been condemned by other Christian organizations, including the church where the program originated.
Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam, M.D. On Becoming Baby Wise : Book Two : Parenting Your Pre-Toddler Five to Fifteen Months How to continue breaking your child's spirit.
