Short Naps: Does baby just continue to take short naps, making this somewhat difficult? See my short naps blog post here for some solutions! If baby is hungry, go ahead and feed them!

One major problem with this book is that he cites a lot of good studies (that somehow I've already read about many times before) but then draws wildly unsupported conclusions from them. For example, he talks about a study that found a correlation between aggression and eating a lot of trans-fat (p. 108). Good, but he uses it to admonish readers to avoid fat. What?
