Denise & Alan,
I would love to see an area on your message board to review parenting books. When my infant was learning to sleep, I purchased everything from BabyWise (very structured) to Sear's book on sleep (attachment parenting). Needless to say, I was confused!!! It took 4 books before I found one that met my parenting style. Many times these authors do not state their general philosophies and you do not realize it until you are half way through the book.
Now I am tring to find a book for feeding my little one. Again, the first book I purchased suggests homemade desserts starting at 6 months, and then the next book was very "earthy." Both methods are fine I am sure, but each seem to be an extreme. It would be nice to have a forum for parents to help each other out!! What do you think? Thanks again!!! You and your members are so helpful.
