Ak's breastfeeding expert
You must have all seen it. The amazing breastfeeding expert on this website.......
Actually, I'm not sure where to start, she has so much publicity atm, which little linky shall I add  I think I'll start with this one:- Video catch up - watch video clips from GMTV every day | GMTV and a little newspaper report:- Television - News - GMTV sparks breastfeeding row - Digital Spy and her own backtrack, I mean blog.......it may take some time to add this link as I can't stop laughing - the woman should be a polititian :- Blog ? Clare Byam-Cook ? AuthorsPlace Actually, let's throw another blog into it:- one-of-those-women: Urgent Appeal for Coca-Cola For Disaster Orphans If you really want to see how much publicity she has generated just google "GMTV Clare Byam Cook" If I was feeling skeptical I would say she has a new book in the pipeline. Realistically though, you can see how uncomfy she is at being asked what evidence she has for her comments......I just doubt it somehow. Not much more to say than "whoops" is there Ms.....oh what was in that blog......was it "Sponsored by Nestle Cook" or "Buyme Cook"  Come, on now. You must have all seen this by now. Did you think I wouldn't post???

Hey look, she mentions AKers on her blog.
I had heard nothing about any GMTV interviews, and don't give a stuff if she's publishing another book. breastfeeding problems resolved ....but shame about the negative response. 29 October 2009 What a sad world we live in when a mother posts a positive message to give hope to other mothers who are struggling to establish breastfeeding ......and is then accused of being a fake! Earlier on this year, Annabel Karmel invited me to give breastfeeding advice on her website. Unfortunately this attracted a lot of critisism from a small number of woman who not only disagreed with my advice but who also posted many messages to express their concerns. These threads were viewed by several thousand other mothers, some of whom contacted me privately to book an appointment to see me and some of whom posted positive messages in support. It was sad to note that any praise about me, my books or DVD were often viewed with distrust and the suspicion that they were posted by me!! I can assure you that they were/are not. I am writing this blog not to moan about the critisism (everyone is entitled to their opinion) but to point out that my advice isn't as bad as some make out and that these postings ARE genuine! I regularly get lovely letters and emails (sent via my publishers, DVD producers etc) from grateful mothers who have found my books or DVD to be the answer to their problems. Here is an example (with names changed to respect their privacy): On 15th October James C sent a message using the contact form at Contact. Hi, My wife gave birth last Friday to our baby girl, however is experiencing on-going breast feeding issues. We have exhausted all recommendations from our local hospital / mid-wife team, however are continuing to try with some good tips taken from Clare Byam-Cook's book. My wife is unfortunately close to giving up which would leave her devastated. I understand CBC runs a private clinic providing guidance on feeding issues. I would be extremely grateful if you could forward Clare's contact details to enable me to hopefully book an appointment for my wife. Kind Regards, John. I responded giving my contact details and then received this email: Clare, Everything has fallen into place - after what seemed like the longest & most painful week of my life we seem to have cracked it (shame my nipples had to crack first!) THANK YOU SO MUCH for writing the book. For the past 4 days you have been my best friend, I am so grateful to you. Flora is my third child & I have never feed successfully in the past - despite numerous midwives/ health visitors saying I had the latch right. Thanks to you I fought for the drugs for thrush (which you helped me to diagnose) & they have kicked in & it's like a miracle. Thanks to you I have completely repositioned Flora (time & time again) until I got it right & that too is like a miracle. And I've discovered that I have white nipple (I'd never even heard of that) & so I am managing that too. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Julie. This mother also posted a message on Annabels website (Breast Feeding Hope) to say how helpful she had found my book .....and was accused of being a fake! What a depressing response to a nice message that was posted to give hope to other mothers.

Her whole blog makes an amusing read - in fact I look forward to each new entry purely for comedy value!!!!!
It seems she was upset by the fake comment.........and it wasn't even me that first made it.......shame!!!!! ETA - her entire blog has a sense of "how dare anyone question me" to it. There's so many inaccuracies throughout - did you know you can train to be an NCT counsellor in 3 days according to CBC....and they NEVER see real women???!!!

*off to give my 3 year old a bottle of coke instead of his usual morning breastfeed. I need a break....and if CBC say's there's no difference, I may as well" No debate, it really isn't! It's just shocking that she's an expert on an otherwise ok website.... Last edited by fussymum : 31-01-10 at 09:22.
