Dear lactnetters, A very thorough and telling story on the Ezzos, Preparation for Parenting and Babywise has just been published in a Florida newspaper, and also been placed on their website at the following URL: http://www.bhip.com/features/ezzo.htm . I would love to hear your discussion of this article and the accompanying question and answer series with Mr. Ezzo himself. Personally, I'm rather angry that he has taken to telling people about how he knows of so many FTT cases with demand feeding babies, and how some have come to him and fixed it by scheduling. My perspective of this is different, as I feel that he is describing those many parents I see who hear about demand feeding but also hear that they should let a sleeping baby sleep. When I teach about feeding on cue, I also counsel parents that some babies may not waken often enough, especially during the first week and if jaundice develops. I counsel that after the first couple of days, they should be eating at least 8 times a day, and to continue to make sure they eat at least this often *until* they begin to awaken on their own, after which I trust baby to set his own routine. It does seem to me that Mr. Ezzo is implying that he gives proper warnings in his material but that we _the educators_ don't, when in fact his materials did not contain the charts and parameters for making sure your baby is getting enough UNTIL those of us involved with breastfeeding on a regular basis publicly criticized the deficit in his curriculum. I'm also wondering what you all think about his remarks that *many* lc's are in need of parenting classes! ;-) -Lisa Marasco, BA, IBCLC Santa Maria, CA
