Hullo everyone,
Thanks for all your feedback.
Did you nor your agent think it a good idea to do a search for 'Annabel Karmel' on Mumsnet before you decided this was a suitable forum to promote your latest wares?
We understand that Annabel's work isn't to everyone's taste (pun intended), but we also know there are lots of people on Mumsnet who are interested in her approach, and would like to know more about it.
We do believe that parenting is generally horses for courses, and what works for one family might not necessarily work for another. That's why we're also running a Q&A on Baby Led Weaning with Aitch next week, so people can figure out which approach is best for them (or maybe a mixture of the two?)
Mumsnet, I hope that you don't just present her with the nice weaning query-type questions. There may be people out there looking for guidance regarding weaning, and take her advice as gospel, thinking she is has all the credentials.
With any Q&A, we don't send every question posted over to the guest. Obviously we can't guarantee what will get answered, but we will send a selection of questions from this thread over to be representative of the thread. We encourage all guests to tackle the tricky questions as well as the nice ones.
As this thread has generated so much interest, we're going to close it this Friday so we're not absolutely swamped with questions, but there's still plenty of time to put your question to Annabel before it closes.
