I'd go crazy if I was looking at a book and a clock all the time to see when to feed! Baby is hungry, baby eats, how easy is that?<br />My son is a fast eater, no toughening up of my nipples from long feeds, but no problems here! I must be lucky.<br />And when he was jaundiced in the hospital and soooo sleepy, what was I supposed to do then? I could hardly keep him on for 5 minutes, should I still have waited 2 1/2 hours to feed him again? I think it was the feeds/pumped bottles that had him under the lights for less than half the time he was supposed to be. Was it ok because some was in a bottle?Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688893048847608948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-80892922107311882542011-08-19T09:31:41.793+01:002011-08-19T09:31:41.793+01:00So glad I never came across this crazy lady's ...So glad I never came across this crazy lady's book!

It's MUUUUCH easier to just follow your baby's cues than to try and follow some "baby expert's" schedule.<br /><br />I love how you calculate her advice (14 winds per session?!), since she doesn't seem to do it, because then it's very easy to see how silly and dangerous it is, and how much it lacks ANY common sense whatsoever. <br /><br />I agree, she needs to have some sort of introduction in the beginning of her books that states "This is all my opinion, I'm not a licensed lactation consultant, therefore take the advice at your OWN RISK."Jessica Dimashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756582014183596338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-47625055761569908542011-08-17T21:28:04.833+01:002011-08-17T21:28:04.833+01:00Love the straw analogy.Love the straw analogy.Alpha Parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837161676639357485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-47727602416996604422011-08-17T21:22:35.210+01:002011-08-17T21:22:35.210+01:00The bit about twins made my blood boil.
