Greetings all....... I have the permission of a friend to forward her story along to Lactnet. It's evidence that one person, can and does, make a difference. Barb Gabbert-Bacon, Wichita, Kansas, USA Read on........ This last spring I spoke to the manager of the infants department at Walmart Northrock here in Wichita about the display of baby and parenting books they had recently added to their department. I respectfully expressed concerns about the inclusion of 2 little books called: "Babywise I" and Babywise II" by Gary and Ann Marie Ezzo. After she agreed to look at a packet of information that my husband and I had collected over the past 3 years, I mailed her about 10 documents, many of you have copies of some of these, along with a cover letter summarizing our concerns about this parenting philosophy and Walmarts "endorsement" of it by selling the Ezzo publications. Well, I recently (October) spoke to her again when I was shopping, and hesitantly asked her about the materials, if she even remembered our conversation and who I was (as I hadn't seen the books for the past month or so at either the East or West Walmart, the Emporia or Eldorado stores - okay so, I shop at Walmart frequently). She informed me that when they received our information that she and the store manager went over all the documentation together and he said - "let's pull it!". So they did. Shortly thereafter, their regional manager/buyer was in town and they sat down with her and went over it all again. This Northrock Infants Manager then told me that they had recently received the new mothering/parenting book display and stock, and... and the Ezzo materials were NOT included. So, while I hesitate to feel too victorious, though I am very thankful, an enormous corporation like Walmart does listen and one mom, one woman, one family can make a difference.
