OK: I received corrected info on Lisa Spiegel backlist. 

I googled her and found ONLY her own website. There she provides personal 
anecdotes, testimonials to her advice and a blog on various aspects of 
baby-rearing.

NOTHING SCIENTIFIC, NOTHING ACADEMIC, NOTHING WITH ANY EVIDENCE OTHER THAN 
ANECDOTE TO SUPPORT IT.

Ok, so I went to the scientific side of a search, and I can't believe I just 
wasted an hour on this, but I wanted to put closure on this avenue of 
information. I searched academic search premier, psychinfo and eric. I FOUND 
NOTHING published at all, in any journal, magazine, etc. (Eric will often drift 
from science). NOTHING.

So, whatever she has to say, it's her opinion. I have mine. Oh, the clincher is 
that if you want to see more than the first page of her information on baby 
issues you have to sign up and join the website--the benefits of which include:
*Share your MomSense by asking and answering questions in MomAnswers 
*Share photos and win daily prizes in the ClubMom Scrapbook 
*Indulge daily in over 30 MomBlogs 
*Sign up for the newsletters and stay plugged in with other moms 

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THESE PEOPLE GETTING ALL THE MEDIA ATTENTION (AND 
MONEY!!!!!!!!!) BY PROMOTING PABLUM THAT PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK FOR MOST PEOPLE 
AND ONLY MAKES WOMEN FOR WHOM IT DOESN'T WORK FEEL BAD ABOUT THEMSELVES AS "BAD 
MOMS" (or bad whatevers, in this case it happens to be about moms, but this 
psychobabble is pervasive.

Are we losing all the battles AND the war?

Bottom Line: Forget about anything she has to say, no matter her high profile 
in the media.
