I was born in 1953 & raised in New Zealand, & my mother (with the best of intentions) followed the current practices of Plunket & Karitane, & followed the Truby King method. I think she abandoned it after I had anaphylaxis at 6 mths. My brother born 9 mths later certainly wasn't subjected to the same harsh treatment.<BR/>We now know the downside of such a rigid method, & wouldn't advocate such cruelty to newborns. But for those of us living with the results of surviving Truby King, we can now identify what probably caused some psychological traumas & find treatments eg CBT to deal with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895257112113504033.post-91330982968632922522009-03-02T21:51:00.000-08:002009-03-02T21:51:00.000-08:00It's a shame the program didn't deal with findings...It's a shame the program didn't deal with findings such as the one you've outlined. Researchers must be making new discoveries about babies' needs all the time -- why not a program that puts the best of such discoveries into practice and not the worst of the out-of-date ones?Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021706878347879932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895257112113504033.post-35588959794754321242009-03-02T04:36:00.000-08:002009-03-02T04:36:00.000-08:00I found this post because I have a Google Alert fo...I found this post because I have a Google Alert for "failure to thrive" but I was really interested in the Spock-babies being carried around concept.<BR/><BR/>I work with children with developmental problems and one of the two interventions I use which consistently gets their developmental process back on track is rhythmic activity. I have long thought that children today do not get enough early rhythmic stimulation. Being left in a playpen or moved around in a stroller does not give some children the rhythmic stimulation needed for appropriate development.
