I suggest you use the article found on Rebecca Prewett's website by Lisa
Marasco (and me) on why cue feeding works best for babies, and why scheduled
feeds can lead to FTT, etc.  We used a lot of Peter Hartmann's work, and it's
great for moms who don't understand why all babies shouldn't be approached a
la cookie cutter style -- as though all moms were made exactly alike (not!!).

Rebecca has a lot of other wonderful stuff on her site too, so you might want
to poke around a bit and get what you can use from there.  This goes directly
to our paper, but if you want to  get to the Family Issues page you can go to
