Please.<BR/><BR/>I have said that people who don't feed their baby when said baby is hungry are common sense-challenged. And that IS true. But I've never said, felt or implied that parents who don't like Babywise or had an adverse reaction to it are stupid.<BR/><BR/>Please, with an open mind, read what I've actaully written and try to leave your preconceived notions at the door.Christy Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192519166354022489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-27171588045790906692008-05-18T22:52:00.000-04:002008-05-18T22:52:00.000-04:00".

Seems as though you can't stand to *not* leave comments when you find people who like BW.<BR/><BR/>"After blasting mothers who found that BW didn't "work" for their infants?" I don't know where you get that from this post. I only "blast" parents who don't use the brains God gave them. <BR/><BR/>And of course people who have read the books and taught the class and are contact moms have issues with the material. Who agrees with everything? That shows me these parents are using their minds and are not following blindly. Which, I would think, you would applaud.<BR/><BR/>And I don't take cues from anyone when I write these posts. These are my ideas and my language. I wonder if you read this post: http://oneduffy.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-heart-babywise.html Perhaps after reading that you may wish to apologize for accusing me of using "loaded" language.<BR/><BR/>My philosophy is live and let live. If you don't want to use BW, don't. But please don't continue going through cyberspace ranting against a philosophy that has helped many, many families.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by,<BR/>ChristyChristy Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192519166354022489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-90555788359608081562008-05-18T22:08:00.000-04:002008-05-18T22:08:00.000-04:00Live and let live?

After blasting mothers who found that BW didn't "work" for their infants?<BR/><BR/><I>"parents were not using common sense . . . became a slave to the schedule. . .crazy mommy’s fault. . .

To categorically assign blame to parents and label them as crazy slaves with no common-sense is not a live-and-let-live philosophy.<BR/><BR/>Of course. . . you are merely taking your cue from the loaded language and straw man arguments of the book you are advocating. <BR/><BR/>*shrug*TulipGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491713586488210547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-6190966140627407092008-05-11T14:01:00.000-04:002008-05-11T14:01:00.000-04:00LH,Do you have any evidence it does?

Period.<BR/><BR/>But if you have some kind of magic that can keep a baby from crying, please feel free to pass it along. <BR/><BR/>ChristyChristy Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192519166354022489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-72995045505482062952008-05-11T11:18:00.000-04:002008-05-11T11:18:00.000-04:00"Ten minutes of crying will not harm your baby."Th...<I>"Ten minutes of crying will not harm your baby."</I><BR/><BR/>This is oft repeated by not backed up by any research that I've found. <BR/><BR/>-LHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-54237458985166722008-05-10T08:52:00.000-04:002008-05-10T08:52:00.000-04:00Babywise rocks... that's all I've got to say!!!! :...Babywise rocks... that's all I've got to say!!!! :) :) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
