Oooooooh, what to do? Do i post this on Breast and bottle feeding or on Weaning? because Annabel Karmel's been telling The Standard that after 4 months breastmilk is not enough to keep babies healthy...

here

yowza!

Oh - it all looks so messy on her site

but lapin, you probably carved that carrot into a cute shape like, oo, I don't know, a carrot, didn't you?

I serve DS these dear little pea-shaped peas, and cute little meat-balls shaped like balls. And he loves my apple-shaped apples.

Aitch should apply for this

no, she's entitled to advertise here of course. there was no hoo-hah. a few raised eyebrows but no hahs were hoohed.

lapin, i am more gobsmacked than anything else. she did say this before, in her Practical Parenting Magazine 6-page weaning special ("buy my steamer, buy my mouli, buy my whizzer, buy my spoons, buy my bowls or if you can't be fagged, buy my ready meals") but i didn't think that she really, really meant it.

ah but you see fletch, i could not and would not apply for a job as a nutritional advisor because i have no such qualifications. although... ... it doesn't seem to be a barrier does it?

None of her recipes are for under 6 months on her web site

Is this a recent change of heart on her part

(you should really apply for the job aitch)

i don't do 'small fee', fletch.

Lol this is the weirdest thing ever, I found the link on her site

yummy yummy mesh bag

I've complained to the editor actually.

As follows:

"Dear Sirs,

I have read this article, and aside from being absolutely outraged by this woman and her ignorance on breast milk nutrition, I really feel I must take issue with one particular aspect of it. You call this woman, Annabel Karmel, an ?expert?. As far as I can see, she?s not an expert on breastfeeding, or nutrition in breast milk. At best, she?s an author of recipe books for parents weaning their children. She?s famous for making interesting ?pictures? out of vegetables and food to entice children, and for ?hiding? vegetables in dinners. Whilst you could say that her meals are ?nutritionally balanced?, that doesn?t make them the absolute best thing for a baby under 6 months and guidelines from the WHO and the Government certainly contradict this.

I object to her being referred to as an expert without anything to back up her ?qualifications?. She?s an author, not an expert. Or else is J K Rowling is an ?expert? on wizardry and magic........??????

Yours faithfully,"

I'm full of PMT, and in retrospect, the comment comparing her with JK Rowling was a little tenuous and childish, but I still feel it needed saying

So how are we meant to feed our 4 month old children that are running out of iron and omega 3????

oh - we must have to buy the book (or the ready meal) for that advice

ach, some people like them... i had one but it melted in the dishwasher the first time i washed it so we never got to test it. (i mean i was going to test it myself, not dd who was only about 4 mos at the time).

Aparently they are really useful for some children who happen to have SN (I read on MN SN boards)

Otherwise....

VVVQV, rofl

QV - VG

I misread that as "ovulates vvv". I was all indignant for a second.......

Gosh, how can hormones completely alter your mental state??? I really need to go to bed

Can't we start a thread saying how marvellous we think AK is, with lots of links to her site on it, so that if MN contact her to do a live chat, she thinks we all love her?

[fiendish]

Hunker
