My wife and I raised two sons based largely on Sackett's book. Thank you Dr. Sackett for your wise advice.
Our sons are both grown now. The older one is a computer accounting expert for the federal government. The younger one is a practicing lawyer.
The one piece of advice from Sackett's book that is most likely to be controversial is his advice to feed infants certain soft solid foods immediately after their birth. We didn't have Sackett's book until our second son was born, but we followed his advice and gave the infant his first solid food, pureed banana, for his evening meal on his first night home from the hospital. He slept all night on his first night home!
Sackett was a practical man and helped us enjoy child-raising. I hope his book will always be available.
