Dan raises an interesting point in his query about Ezzo and FTT:
"...get people to stop using the program simply because
it gets your children to sleep through the night. (which I still
don't
believe, given the reports of night waking among some of the people
I know
who used babywise.)"

I suspect people who "buy into" the program and find it isn't
"working" (namely, their babies do not sleep through the night when
they are supposed to) are very reluctant to speak up.  After all, to
admit that it isn't working for you isn't seen as the fault of the
program.  Rather it is seen as a "failure" on the part of the
parents.  Their faith wasn't strong enough, their committment to
their children's spiritual well being wasn't sufficient or
whatever.  Once you firmly believe that something is the absolute
truth, you don't question that "truth".  You question everything
else first.  So reports of the "success" of such parenting programs
may not reflect what is actually happening in some cases.  Of course
there are babies being parented in this way who "give up" asking for
what they need.  We've been over that ground before.
