Yes. It is everything you feared - I was sent it to review ( but I don't do
reviews) .

The author is a maternity nurse.

The book is based on her experience, not on any research or knowledge about
baby's feeding and sleep needs.

I would suggest you get a copy,  Carolyn - worth seeing which straws are in
the wind.

The cover is very appealing, as is the title.
