baby advice

Nov 11, 2013 20:17

A new Dad recently asked on one of my facebook groups about feeding advice.  Another Dad bucking all the other advice suggested he follow a program by Author E that has been advised against by the American Academy of Pediatrics since 1998, the World Health Organization and Le Leche League.

These are Author E's qualifications for giving baby advice:

He "has no background or expertise in child development, psychology, breastfeeding, or pediatric medicine, and holds neither an associate's nor a bachelor's degree from any college; his master of arts degree in Christian ministry was granted through a program that awarded credit for life experience in lieu of an undergraduate degree."

Yes, a man who has an honorary degree for life experience, who's been discredited since 1998 still has parents following his advice.  And people wonder why I get up in arms about raising babies.
