She is a numpty SM. Seems to think she is a 'BF specialist' yet all her qualifications are are that she was a midwife in 1985 (or summat).

She thinks co-sleeping/cross-feeding/free birthing are all tosh and seems to have totally lost the 'supply and demand' rule in breastfeeding.

(She is the resident This Morning breastfeeding/midwife expert need we say more?)

Dunno, SM. I don't watch it. My internet was down friday so I turned on the TV and saw them saying they were doing a piece on co-sleeping. Then when they said they had her on I decided to watch it because I saw the mess she made of the extended breastfeeding/cross feeding interview.
They always get someone on who they try to make out a radical hippy and then have Clare sat there as if she is God, ready to tell the other guest (Usually a mother, rather than a 'professional') that they are wrong. Thing is, if I didn't know better then I'd probably believe what she is saying so no doubt hundreds of women watching it will have done
