I'm not terribly familiar with all of the sleep training protocols out
there, but a mother I spoke to today had hired a "sleep consultant" whose
system utterly shocked me.  I'm glad I was talking to her on the phone so
she couldn't see my face at the description.

Get this:

Baby exclusively breastfed and 6 mos old.  Consultant had mom cold-turkey
switch to exclusive pumping and she was to feed the baby 6 oz of expressed
milk via bottle 4x/day.  She was also to increase solids significantly.
 Yup--no breastfeeding and no nighttime feeds by any method as baby
"transitioned" to the new schedule.

Mother called me about her dwindling supply (surprise surprise...)

PLEASE tell me this is atypical for sleep training plans!
