He delved into some taboo topics like routine infant circumcision, which began in the U.S. in the 1800s to prevent masterb*tion -- without the infant's consent, of course, or anesthesia. Only in the U.S. with their sex-obsessed Christians.
And co-sleeping. An infant alone all night in their "nursery" is unnatural and frightening. Thank you, Christopher, for your courage in bringing this up. Co-sleeping can be done safely, such as setting the crib by the parents' bed where the baby can be patted to sleep.
I always wondered why we have so much stuff, entertainment, and conveniences, and yet everyone is still so mad and sad. (Think road rage, shootings, suicide.) This book may hold the key.

Highly recommended!… (more)
