Yeah, it is I suppose: That it's okay to endanger the physical and
emotional health of infants. He's the one who needs to be tweaked."

LOL, Sandy!  What should have been broadcasted in the article is that the original Preparation for Parenting (four sheets, authored by Anne Marie Ezzo, not Gary),  and the early, self-published editions of Babywise, called for 3 to 4 hour intervals,  with a big emphasis on the four.  I have encountered several mothers over the years still adhering to the FOUR hours, not realizing that God has apparently reversed Himself and decided that 2.5 - 3 hours is 'biblical parenting' after all.  GFI has never retracted this in any way.
