Democrat & Chronicle:
(November 20, 2004) — Dr. Ruth A. Lawrence was unlike many women in the 1950s — she had a full-time job, and a prestigious one at that.
But she tried to never let it get in the way of raising her nine (that's right, nine) children.

Doctors at Children’s Hospital in Detroit are among those far and wide who oppose the Ezzo program, specifically his advice to impose a very strict schedule for infant feeding and his advice parents just ignore the screams of their hungry newborns to force them onto the schedule.
