Oh my goodness every part of this, especially the bolded. No one has such definitive advice about pregnancy and child-rearing as those who have never done either.monarch64|1332906740|3157932 said:I couldn't care less how she feeds her son. And I would love to have some links to medical journals cited here which prove the harmfulness of this method to the child's dental well-being. I'm thinking it must be much worse if there is such a public uproar over this than say, giving your child apple juice constantly or letting him/her fall asleep with a bottle, or eating sugary crap all day long. Silverstone has done all kinds of attention-getting things over the years, this is just another publicity stunt. As I am about to become a mother, though, I find myself cringing every time people get all outraged or opinionated over the way someone chooses to rear their child. Precisely why I never announced on FB that I was pregnant--I knew I would be sensitive to unsolicited advice. I would say it's none of our business except in this case she's blogging it and obviously expecting feedback. Seriously, I doubt that there is much to get upset over here as it doesn't seem like the sort of thing that will catch on and sweep the nation. Will we soon see mothers chewing up their french fries and spitting them into the mouths of their children at every McDonald's? Not likely, so not too worried about it.
