Celebrity "Quack" Moms

Saw this on FB and found it interesting. Though I do wonder how many moms actually take Silverstone seriously. Hopefully not many. I think it should be clicky, but I apologize if it's not.

I saw the title of this thread and I immediately knew who you were talking about. Seriously, celebrities should be fined for spouting dangerous crap like that. She basically says "I know science says otherwise, but I know a woman who knows a woman...". That's the extent of her research. It makes me so stabby.

Makes all of us crunchy mamas look like kooks too. I can't believe she got someone to publish that.

It's weird that when celebrities have one child they are then parenting experts. Writing books, blogs, kids clothing lines, etc. is a money maker plain and simple.

What's with these d list celebrities publishing baby books? Trying to keep some sort of relevance. So sad people buy this garbage.

I just saw her signing her book in Pasadena yesterday. I was just walking by - going to the kids section with my daughter. Figures that her book has crazy advice in it. She was the one with the YouTube video chewing up her baby's food & baby bird feeding him. Yuck! I

Omg I forgot all about that!

A few years ago dogs were the "it" accessory. Now it's babies. This fad too shall pass.

That baby bird thing is what immediately comes to mind every time I hear her name. Blech.

I think my fave parenting book is Britney Spears' mother's. Of all the people to give advice on how to raise children.

I completely forgot about her chewing food and feeding it to her child like a bird. Makes me laugh every time I think of it!

@awc1986‌ I think I may have to read Britney Spears' mom's book for a good laugh.. On days I'm feeling down.

@jsaffer01 - I do think she's got a pretty good idea on how to raise a cash cow though.

You'd hope no one would buy into her crazy or any celebrity crazy crap. But look at the damage Jenny McCarthy caused... People are gullible & don't want to think for themselves...
