"According to one Christian pediatrician (PDF, 51Kb), as well as Christian
organizations (e.g., Christian Research Institute) and non-religious
organizations (e.g., Tulsa Kids—Part I [PDF, 271Kb], and Tulsa Kids—Part II
[PDF, 174Kb]), Ezzo is not an expert in medicine, lactation, or child
development. Although the most recent edition of On Becoming BabyWise
(hereafter referred to as Babywise) is co-authored by pediatrician Robert
Bucknam, nothing substantial was added or changed when Bucknam signed on as
co-author, making some wonder if his name was added simply to placate
critics and increase profits....
"Further, experts in child development disagree with Ezzo's claims that:
breast- and bottle-fed infants should be fed according to a schedule;
babies should be left to "cry it out" in their cribs;
the hands of a 9-month-old infant should be swatted when the infant is
unruly in the highchair or throws food;
children should be parented according to a schedule that doesn't allow for
individual differences in temperament and growth patterns; and
a newborn is able to understand that his mother is available in the next
room and will attend to his needs according to a schedule, even though she
won't come when he cries.
Medical experts have also pointed out that Ezzo's programs have been linked
to: dehydration, failure to thrive, poor weight gain, and milk production
problems for moms."

Maybe Dr. W. Sears or Dr. Newman could help you with your quest for medical
reasoning as to why the Ezzo pamphlet should NOT be distributed to mothers.
