For what it's worth, I talked to the facilitator of our new mom's 
groups and she said in the last couple of years she has come across 
two moms following this parenting style and she didn't report good 
things about either of them.  These particular moms didn't even 
bother to try to comfort their babies--just held them and let them 
cry.  The facilitator said she suggested breastfeeding, trying a 
different hold, moving around, but the moms just sat there, smiling 
and holding screaming babies.  Obviously, any parenting "Rules" can 
be taken to the extremes.
