Good point.
I should have clarified that the scheduling we did WRT babywise was for sleep. The baby girl got fed when she was hungry.
and seeing how she started walking at 9 months, she's thriving just fine.:)

Really? My wife breast fed so I don't know how that affects dehydration/thriving vs. babywise potential problems.
our take home message from the book was realy set a shedule for sleeping and stick with it. Which we don't particularly stick to on occassion.
Yesterday was the one of the first days she didn't take a nap. I put her down, but she spent one hour talking to her animals in the room and jumping in the crib. So daddy got her out of bed and she helped me put some shelves together.
she helped daddy squirt the glue and handed daddy the small screws as opposed to the long screws. She's the smartest baby in the world:)
you'll want to get these two books. I have a two year old.
Babywise--- very good book on getting a baby on a schedule etc.
The Happiest Baby on the block--- how to deal with colic and comforting the baby.
also some other tidbits I've picked up along the way.
Get the folks at the hospital/wherever to show you how to swaddle the baby. newborns are used to being in a tight space and don't have control of their arms/legs so they'll hit and kick themselves while sleeping and wake themselves up.
1/2 hour before the baby gets shots. give them an appropriate amount of tylenol or ibuprophen(verify with doc on this) helps them get over the shot faster and the ibuprophen minimizes swelling tenderness at injection site.
also ibuprophen works best on teething pain.
and when the baby is ready for baby jar food, get it used to eating at room temp. Big convenience with this one.
and lastly.
when the baby is on table food. two things ours really likes are the quaker oats cereal bars, and waffles(they have a lot more vitamins etc than the pancakes.
I still have my Osborne 1. all of the software, supercalc, wordstar... oh ya...
I've even got the massively nonfast 300 baud modem that mounted in one of the slots. AND I have the cooling fan attachment.
Those were the days. Needed a custom cable to simply get it hooked up to my Epson RX100 wide carriage printer.
all these years later I still have an epson printer photo 960. my how times have changed.
The earth isn't overpopulated. Take a close look at where the starvation is. and you'll find that the vast majority is where there are massive disclocations of people. through civil war, drought any number of reasons, aside from overpopulation.
I would love to see your evidence that shows that by eating meat we're causing starvation on the other side of the planet. I would think that such evidence would be quite amusing to say the least

So we can sum up your position...
as being a vegetarian and anti-catholic,
you do win extra points for cluelessness.
