Book Review: How does Ezzo know God wants you to use feeding schedules?
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this book for a shower and at first thought it made some sense to establish a routine for a new family, if not a schedule. The carrot dangled in front of new parents is a guarantee of sleeping through the night by 8 weeks. All I accomplished from reading this book was loss: loss of my milk supply and loss of self-esteem. My baby did sleep through the night by 8 weeks, but by that time she had to be supplemented by formula. This book teaches you not to trust your own instincts, that children are demons who need your guidance not to develop into even worse spoiled brats and that babies should be a minor inconvenience in your life. Because I could not stand to let a tiny baby cry, I made Ezzo's "rules" more flexible, but still felt like I had to watch the clock and felt terribly guilty every time I fed the baby 15 minutes early. I later read several criticisms of the method by lactation consultants who said that many babies whose mothers used the system had similar difficulties. I would encourage anyone considering this book to look up Ezzo on the internet and find out how controversial this is and how his own church has denounced his methods. Ask yourself,"How does this man know that God wants me to put my child on a schedule?" My advice, trust your instincts and buy William Sears' The Baby Book, breastfeed on demand and worry about spoiling later. Your baby will sleep through the night soon enough.
