I would not have taken part had I known that Clare Byam-Cook was going to be used in the piece as an "expert". I emailed the journalist to tell her I was disappointed in their choice and she emailed me back to say "I realise that Clare Byam-Cook is not popular among breastfeeders, but we felt that it was important to have a mix of voices in there."<br /><br /> I realise articles need balance but I fail to see how printing factually incorrect information provides this.LouiseJWilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708305265668165366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-62549989304267615032012-05-22T12:09:00.246+01:002012-05-22T12:09:00.246+01:00We're working on a complaint to the GMC about ...We're working on a complaint to the GMC about the Daily Mail article - we'll be putting it upon fb as soon as we've finalised it for anyone who wants to sign, keep an eye on Dispelling Breastfeeding Myths, Developing Doulas and Hackney Doula on fb.

Rolling out CBC is the sort of thing I expect to see from the daily fail, not the Times!! When my mum told me there was an article in the Saturday Times on bf past a year, I was hoping to see a balanced piece with well researched expert opinions, and was gutted to see just another article making mums who bf into toddlerhood out to be ...weird, or only doing it for the mothers enjoyment...I don't even know the right word to describe it!!!!
