Though the authors focus primarily on solving breastfeeding difficulties, they also cover breastfeeding basics, calling three to four years of breastfeeding "normal" and in other ways showing clear support for many aspects of LLLI philosophy. For example, Dr. Newman gives a touching account of how he and his wife tried the "cry it out" sleep training advice: "When our son was over two years of age, we thought we would try it again. (We were slow learners, but our excuse is that we weren't getting much sleep.) We finally gave in, as we heard him cry from his crib, 'This is your little boy, Daniel. Why are you doing this?' We can learn a lot from our children, if we let ourselves ... it wasn't easy to be awakened every night, night after night. But after all is said and done, it was for the best."
