I just heard this tonight. I wonder why the c-section though...

Probably so she could have a tummy tuck. Grr.

I don' t know, she seems pretty crunchy. I won' t be surprised if some kind of real medical reasoning comes out on this, like placenta previa or something like that. Maybe even a breech, I know not ABSOLUTELY necessary, but that is the generally held belief right now most places.

Let's not jump to conclusions. I believe she had a natural vaginal birth in a hospital and was talking about having a homebirth this time. She may have had a very valid reason for going ahead with a csection if its even true.

Where did you hear this? A quick websearch of the news/media outlets doesn't seem to be confirming that she even gave birth, much less by c/sec (ok, there was one report that she gave birth over the weekend, but it was less than reputable).

Not so sure how crunchy she is: Interview with Apple's former Nanny

Just because she had a nanny doesn't mean she isn't crunchy. I didn't read anything in the article that said so. Also I'm not one for putting a whole lotta stock in what employee's of celebrities say, you know? I do remember hearing her borth with Apple was very long and complicated, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

Can't read it. I am too tired of the judgment. I had a csection & I am very glad I am not in the public eye. Her birth choices should be private.

Didn't see anything in the article? Maybe I read too much into it but the nanny is for pretty strict scheduling of feedings, teaching baby to go to sleep by itself,

Quote:
The rot set in, she believes, with the fashion for demand feeding, which establishes mum as baby's servant. "It affects a child's whole life," she says. "A child who has had to fit in with the family and has a routine fits in better at school."
Quote:
But essentially lots of routine. "Most of us live by routine, why not start that with babies?" she says. "I wake babies during the day to feed them, but never at night. If babies fall asleep halfway through a feed, I change their nappies and then they can have the other breast. And I tuck babies down to sleep when they are awake so they learn to sleep on their own. It's so much better for them."
I gather by reading this she is more like ezzo than AP. Not saying she is that bad but the talk of scheduling and being anti bf on demand has me wondering.

Not everyone that breastfeeds and babywears is AP. I would think there would have to be some form of CIO if the woman has the baby sleeping through the night at 6 weeks. Oh well.

The article was the nanny's description of caring, not Gwyneths. I would rather hear it straight from the source and not by someone who was at one time employed by them.
