You are so different from me - but I love your blog and your sense of humor!

Babywise was recommended to me and it fit our family wonderfully. I must have had a poster child for their system, because my baby boy was happy, healthy and chubby. If I had a child who was colicky I'm quite sure I would have tossed the book out the window though.

Perhaps the biggest mistake Ezzo followers make is thinking that their way is the only way.

I've learned two things about making recommendations to new moms:
1) I wait to be asked for advice 2) to qualify my advice with the statement, "This is what I found helpful - this may not work for you."

Thank God for all of our different personalities and that "God's Way" is to meet us each where we are.

Thanks for taking the time to blog in what must be a busy schedule!

Ezzo! GRRRR! The name brings out the mother bear in me. I was blessed to never hear of Ezzo until after a lengthy involvment with La Leche League and Dr. Sears attachment parenting books. When I finally did hear about their books I really didn't think that people would fall for it. (I didn't read it and I was already at a different place in my life luckily)but it wasn't two weeks later that my cousin started trying to sell me on the idea of "blanket training" that she had read in one of their books. I was sick at heart thinking of my baby being trained like an animal to only respond to stumili such as food or pain and not to the stirrings of the heart that love can plant. I'm so happy that you found the BEST way to raise a child - God's own loving way.

Thanks for your comment on my blog, yours is great too. I don't know how you linked to me but we have a lot in common. We are in the adoption process. Anyway, thanks for the encouraging words, that was a VERY hard post to write.

Hi there, I found your blog through technorati. I have no idea who technorati is lol..but people keep coming to my blog through them, when they do searches..

Anyways, I was touched by your post, and want to link to it when I start writing more about my experiences with motherhood. Recently a visitor asked me about my attachment parenting..so I'm blogging about it now.

Thanks for trying to help so many mothers!! I used to be apart of a bullentin board at ivillage that would get so many moms in there, just devastated by ezzo indoctrination about breastfeeding. It was so sad.

Keep up the good work & congrats on your beautiful babies (now 'big kids')

Thanks for the comment you left on my blog... Ezzo is EVIL!!! Just a few days ago I spent a long time on the phone with a mom who was in tears, trying to follow "Baby UN-wise" at the insistence of her friend ... I told her to THROW THAT BOOK IN THE TRASH!!! And to listen to her mama-heart.

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I tos...

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I tossed that book about a week after reading it. I think new sleep-deprived moms will try just about anything! My daughter is 4 months old now and we have sleeping down to a science. She slept through the night when she was ready to and is a champion sleeper and gets all the attention and food she wants (and obviously needs!). I really did enjoy browsing through your blog. I am adopted and its nice to read about adoptive moms - gives me a good perspective on what my mom went through. My parents are blonde and blue eyed and very light skinned. I have dark hair, eyes and skin and although they weren't able to find out my nationality, they always got rude comments about how differently I looked. I just loved your responses to stupid questions and will enjoy showing them to my mom. Happy Mother's Day! :)

Ah, yes, you were certainly correct when you said that you and I would have things in common. While I never used Babywise, I am all too familiar with Ezzo's methods.

It's always encouraging to find another likeminded mom. Thanks for leaving me your link!

Yup! Could have written this same post. I plan to write a post soon on the infamous statement from Babywise / Ezzo followers "But it WORKED". I always want to ask WHAT was it that worked?
