Are you kidding me??? We have a lot of overweight people in this country because of supersized MacDonalds and a mentality that we should eat as much as we want whenever we want...Your logic is so tragic. Why, if on-demand feeding of infants is the cause of obesity, isn't obesity a problem in so much of the rest of the world (I'll give you a clue, because ADULTS don't eat as much as American adults). Wow! To loop your infant into the sick American obsession with eating/being overwight/dieting/getting thin is so unfortunate. Get a perspective - this is an infant following it's simple instinct not some neurotic adult - so why don't you follow your instinct and care for your child? If your attitude is AT ALL indicative of what Babywise preaches, I am happy to listen to my baby and miss an hour or two of sleep occasionally. : My daughter is now 5 months old. I have been doing babywise since she was 1 week old. I was/is a lot of work. Don't give up! Babies cry for more reasons than hunger!!!! My daughter very rarely sleeps through her whole nap cycle, when she wakes cranky, i put her back to sleep. When she wakes happy, I play with her. You are not neglecting your baby. Is your baby gaining weight and wetting diapers during the day? Then fine. Stick with it. My daughter is Very happy and well adjusted. Everyone tells me what a great baby I have. She is gaining weight properly. The beginning was TOUGH! but it worked for me. I truly believe we have many overweight people in this country because of demand feeding!
