Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

"My first 1000 babies" which i've heard was worse than Ezzo

It's called, "My First 300 Babies" by Gladys West Hendrick. She was a "nanny". Here, let me give you an idea, OK? Brace yourself --

Quote:

Before starting to nurse, place a diaper around the neck of the baby, then sponge off the breast with a piece of moist cotton or use the washcloth to establish the nipple. Keep in mind this most important principle: no nursing should be longer than 30 minutes, and at first only about fifteen [this emphasis is hers]. Later on, twenty minutes is a good average. . . . . . . . this includes time out for bubbling, and giving the complementary feeding.

It's ALL about strict scheduling, ala 1950's and 60's, starting the first day home. It's all about, "when the child is ___ years old, then the child must be doing ______." It's all about controlling children, keeping peace in the home, making sure that momma can keep up her housework and care of daddy ("King of the Castle"), etc. Children shouldn't eat more that 3 times a day. Etc., etc., etc.

It's Ezzo on steroids.

To me, it borders on abusive.

(BTW, I did not buy this book. . . it was given to me by one of our church members when I was pg with J).
