Rejected petition Parenting experts must be qualified

More details

There are too many misinformed, unqualified 'baby experts' publishing books filled with dangerous advice to vunerable new parents. These books hand out breastfeeding advice that is completely wrong, leading to less people breastfeeding, 'advice' that could lead to your child having a heightened chance of SIDS and weaning advice that goes against WHO's advice. Surely for these women to publish their parenting guides or call themselves experts they should have qualifications?
