It was exactly that kind of thing that prevented me from ever exclusively bfing my ds. I read the part of the double talk where you start the schedule the first week.
Poor baby. And poor deceived parents. If there is anyway you can give them some good information it might be helpful. Even things like letting them know that Dobson and Hanegraff (sp) have statements against BW might give some chinks in their ideas. I know that a book that really changed my mind was Happiest Baby on the Block (Karp). I don't know for sure, but I think if someone I trusted had told me about the problems with BW when I was in the early days of using it I would have been more able to listen to my instincts and stop while I could still save my bfing relationship.
