In light of a recent question from a client and from reading comments on another blog I am posting this. I realize this may stir up some controversy or hard feelings. That's not my intent. I am posting this to inform so please take it that way and only that way. If you don't agree with me...that's fine. I will still like you. ;) I'm sure there are plenty of other topics we don't agree on (i.e. vaccinations, no circ., homebirth, homeschooling, etc). I just ask that you read and consider the information.

So here you go...my little PSA for the day.


Do you feel comfortable taking parenting advice from someone whose own daughter has cut off ties with him?

Do you feel comfortable taking parenting advice from someone who has been asked to leave his church because of what he teaches?

Do you feel comfortable taking breastfeeding advice from someone who has documents published from the AAP speaking against the safety his teachings?
Do you feel comfortable taking breastfeeding advice from someone who has documented cases of failure to thrive in babies whose parents followed his teachings?

Do you feel comfortable taking parenting and breastfeeding from someone whose "M.D." (who apparently didn't write any information in the book) falsified information about his faculty status?

Do you feel comfortable taking breastfeeding advice from someone's whose wife was a nurse thirty years ago?

I have always loved Dr. Sears. He follows what I did naturally with my babies anyway. I think he voices what every mother feels in her heart to be true in raising our children, with love and a gentle touch.

Starving Kids God's Way has always made my skin crawl. It just went against everything I believed in.
