If you are robots lacking sense then yes Babywise is dangerous.

OP, if you are very against Babywise have you offered a scheduling system you are more comfortable with as an alternative to the family?

Telling them I'm anti Babywise and want to do everything on demand probably won't be a huge selling point to MB.

That said, there is also a growth spurt around 6 weeks, and that might be increasing her appetite. If feeding needs are not met, baby can't sleep well.

That said, is it possible you are missing early "sleepy cues" and are actually putting her down to nap when she is overtired? Maybe try putting her down after just 55 minutes to see if that helps.

I'm definitely not missing cues. I've started swaddling at 40, 50, and 55 but it doesn't make a difference. She is bright eyed. She ever fusses or cries, just stares at me.

They are following the eating too. This morning my charge didn't eat much with nursing but MB made me hold her off ( fussing & crying) until X clock.

I've been asking MB lots of Q so she may think I'm an idiot and can't handle it, but she is very specific and I don't want to step on her toes.

You're almost as crazy as the mother. Just being honest.

How am I crazy? I don't agree with BabyWise but this is her child. I can't just do what I want and neglect her wishes. That's just not right. I have no choice but to follow her rules. This is not MY baby.

You're a robot? Just obey and do as you're told, no matter what? Yep, that's nuts. You're maybe a sitter, at best. Not a nanny with basic standards.

Omg, shut up, will you.

I used BW with my five children starting from 4 weeks. They are very healthy young adults. Some of you nannies are so much drama and exaggerate everything.

Until uou parent 24/7 and raise healthy children from babies to adults, sit down and MYOB. You have no reason or qualifications to speak on this matter.
