This is the largest of many issues that I have challenged them on, both in
writing and in meeting with them.  It is their contention that a)you can't
make a definitive connection between PDF & FTT--FTT happens for a bunch of
reasons and b)the overall parenting plan is more important than the feeding
method, so bottle-feed if necessary.

Are you sure that they are using this method?  Drs were giving out such
wonderful pearls of wisdom long before Ezzos.  However, Babywise (by the
Ezzos) was sent free of charge to any Ped who requested it and is co-authored
by a ped.

I enjoyed reading Mary's post on the Talmud and found the information
interesting and useful.  However, as this is not considered Holy Writ in
Christendom, it would be useless to use it with Ezzo followers,
unfortunately.

Nancy, who continues to be a thorn in the Ezzo's side....

P.S.  Barbara, I hope to meet you someday.  We have a mutual friend who sings
your praises to me regularly.
