Attachment Parenting (AP):
The Dangers of Gary Ezzo & "Babywise"
For those of you
who know nothing about Ezzo & Babywise, I would
encourage you to check out the links below.
For those of you who
are thinking about using the Babywise
techniques, I URGE you to do some reading
first...Considering that most professionals in
the pediatric, breastfeeding and child
development communities vehemently oppose Ezzo's
methods, going into this program uneducated on
the subject is very unwise.
As you can tell,
I do not agree with Ezzo and his techniques. But
I also realize that every parent has the right
to choose what is best for their children. My
main intent with this page and all the
information it contains links to, is to educate
those who will be educated on the subject.
Everyone who already has a strong opinion
opposite of mine, feel free to ignore this page
& enjoy the rest of the site. You DON'T have to
be "AP"
to enjoy Fresno Family.

"Dear sister, I ask you humbly and
solemnly, from whom have you been learning
the womanly arts? I exhort you, for the sake
of your husband and children and for your
health and the health of your home, to put
male-invented mothering theories and
male-dominated mothering materials out of
your home and out of your life..."
