I've been facinated by the discussion about the Ezzos as we have been dealing
with this philosophy in Dallas for several years.  An LC in a major hospital
here often sees a copy  of the book on the nightstand in the hospital room
when she does her rounds and this summer I did consults with at least 6 moms
who either told me about the program and how they were trying it or their
comments alerted me to their knowledge of it.  I decided it was in my best
interest to read the book so  I have read Babywise and part of Babywise  Book
Two which is for parents of older babies and toddlers.  Interestingly, the
Ezzos are coming to Dallas on Thursday 11th, Jan to lecture at a major
hospital,  The invitation was extended to the staff at another major hospital
but is aimed at parents.  The invitation (from one of my favorite doctors who
is very supportive of breastfeeding) was extended to health  professionals so
that they can help new parents enhanse parenting skills.  I guess I will need
to talk to this doctor sometime to see if he has really read the  book and
how he feels this fits in with the physiology of breastfeeding.Can't decide
whether to take the time to attend the lecture myself - I know I will come
away frustrated.   Nancy  Williams and Lisa Marasco, any hints on how to deal
with the subject matter if I attend?
