Maternity Baby 365 - Claire Verity

Childcare expert, Claire Verity, who recommends that mothers stop cuddling their babies and put them in a strict routine from day 1, has been asked to stay away from a major conference after people threatened a protest.

She was scheduled to appear at The Baby Show at Earls Court in London in 2 weeks to discuss her methods, which include putting infants to sleep in their own room from the day they are born. The invitation has been withdrawn.

In a recent interview, Ms. Verity, who has no kids of her own, accused members of the the National Childbirth Trust of trying to stop her.

"I’ve been hung, drawn and quartered by the National Childbirth Trust," Claire Verity said.

"They accuse me of being a bully: I think they are the bullies. They look appalling, and they are appalling. I just loathe them."
