"Birth by Design: The Expectant Parent's Handbook, Coming out of lurkdom just for a minute...... Thanks to Linda and Doraine for this notice. It is, however not a new book. I suspect the Ezzos are doing what they often do and offering a revision. When the Orange Country (California) Child Abuse Task Force published a substantial critique on all existing Ezzo parenting materials (1995, I think--?) they included info on this book. Fortunately, it is less offensive than the rest. That isn't to say it's great and I am especially concerned about the information on Post Partum Depression as I think its application could be very dangerous for some women. I would never recommend this book for other reasons as well, but it is less noxious than the Babywise ilk.
