I did not read the book thoroughly. I did however look through it, quite a while ago. I think some of the things they suggest are a bit drastic. Keep in mind I don't remember it all very well right now.
A regimented feeding schedule is one of thing I don't hold by. An infant is growing so fast and using up their food rescources so quickly that I think it would be detrimental to postpone feeding them till a designated time. A eating schedule can come in later when the parents feel the child is ready. Also as they get older they will become more interested in their world around them and forget about eating sometimes until they see Mom or Dad eating. That way they naturally fall into Mom and Dad's schedule.
A routine and schedule is always a good thing for a child to have. They learn when to expect things and they know what comes next. It's comforting to them.
I think in general we need a balance between complete freedom and routine. That's hard to do sometimes but don't think we need stress over it.
