Why are people sobssessed overthis?
ARG.. Why is everybody still so into the babywise book?!
I was unaware it had different names, just realised this today, and one of my newish friends lent me 'along the infant way' when Harlee was just born, I read half of it, and found it to more to be a book on how to ignore your child. It was horrible, so I said to her that its not really for us. It is the only book she read and she sticks to it like it is the bible. There is another friend with a 1yo son and she has got her to read it too.
We are only new friends though so I would not want to challenge her on anything because for some reason I feel inferiour to her as she has 3 kids and is 8 yrs older than me. But now whenever we discuss baby stuff she refers to the book, like how babies are meant to have only 2 hours wake time at 6 months?
And Then the other day I overheard the sister in law saying she made bil watch the babywise dvd, like its hard facts on what you do! This is their first child and they have 8 weeks to go.I hate to interveen, but I want to do something about it, warn them.I was thinking of buying some books for her that talk about the same stuff, but what? But is it really neccesary? And should I just let them do what they want, not that I could/would stop them, as I have the same issue with mil bossing me around grrr.
