I absolutely agree Ryn, but I think You were lucky to have found BB before you were PG and had Liebling, becuase you already knew of an alternative source for information. Many women do not know where to turn when they have no help and are at the end of thier tether(remembering sleep deprivation isnt known for rational thinking) so if the only peice of advice is to let them cry, Then of generally that will be the thing that is tried because it is made to appear that all mums do it and its OK (we know in our hearts it is not ok).

SO what i am saying is the lack of REAL support is the reason (i believe) that this is being pushed on to so many women and families.
