Dr. Gill is a great person. Unfortunately I do not think he has kept up with research when it comes to breastfeeding, or anything attachment parenting related. He advice me to start solids at 4 months, even though the WHO and UNICEF advice to wait till 6 months. He advised me to give my baby iron supplement, without checking if he was deficient; new research states that giving iron supplements to babies that do not need it can slow their growth. When my baby was 5 weeks old, and crying for no reason, he said he was trying to manipulate us, and to let him cry it out. New research suggests that babies that young are building trust, and should not be left to cry it out. Unfortunately, every time I research his suggestions, I end up finding them to be outdated, and I can't trust him. On the other hand, he is very pleasant, you can make a quick appointment, his office staff is great, and wait time is minimal.
