I enjoy reading Dr. Sears' positions on many things. I thought for sure he

would be against vaccinations. But he is not. I have emailed him a couple

of times asking him how much money he gets from the vaccine companies to be

pro vax. He has never responded.

I actually dont think he will ever have Dr Sears on again in the capacity

that he did. He (Dr Phil)looked like a jackass. LOL

I missed it. In what capacity was Dr. Sears on? What

did he say that made Dr. Phil look silly?

The show I saw recently last week was with Dr. Sears and his sons

(Martha was there, too, but sat with some new moms and didn't really have much

of a chance to talk.)

They talked about issues where a mom wanted to nurse past 1 year and have baby

in the room with them at night but hubby didn't like it. Dr. Phil doesn't

approve of co-sleeping (he said this, but then let Dr. Sears give their

professional opinion) but all the Sears doctors told them mom to bring the baby

to bed with them and to continue nursing. They also discussed " letting the baby

cry it out " and Dr. Phil said that he thought you shouldn't pick the baby up

every time he cries, but he even referred to his wife in the audience and she

said she always went with her instinct and didn't let their boys cry. The Sears

doctors all said to respond to your baby's cry, and encouraged moms to not let

the baby cry it out, etc. During this episode it did make Dr. Phil look quite

silly and I was surprised he would refer to the Sears doctors as THE Top experts

in the country or something to that effect. He also announced he would have the

Sears doctors again (and I've heard he's had them

on before?)... we'll see!

They were up on the stage with Dr Phil as a guest/expert opinion. Dr Phil

didn't agree with anything they said, and the look on his face when they were

talking about co-sleeping and CIO was priceless.

I agree w/this statement. When I started researching vaccines, I was pro

vaccine. I was also pro cry it out, against co-sleeping, etc. (I had no kids,

therefore I knew it all). Thru my vaccine research, I came across the other

stuff. While I don't co-sleep (my daughter's choice, we tried it and both

hated it), I do some other attachment stuff. I think thru his attachment

parenting research he must have come across vaccine stuff. I'm not trying to

insult anyone who vaccinates, really I'm not, but if you do the research it

doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the TRUTH. He seems like a reasonably

intelligent guy, so I'm sure he also knows the truth. Sometimes fear or money

clouds the truth.

Thanks. I didn't catch this either. Maybe Dr. Sears really believes vaccines are

good. Dr. Weil is so enlightened about a lot of things too. But when it comes to

vaccines, same thing. If my memory serves me well, he has admitted (in Readers

Digest, I think) to vaccinating his own children, so there is obviously a

belief. They are both more progressive than most doctors and we should be

thankful for that and hope they will someday see the light on vaccines as well.

If everyone typed in a reasonable vaccine question backed up by evidence for him

to ponder, you never know what he might begin thinking about....Anita

Do you really think that he is pro vaccine or that he has taken himself to a

level of expertise with parents and a bit of fame and is afraid of risking that

by not touting the benefits of vaccines? I always wonder stuff like that. I

mean if he came out and said that they weren't such a good thing, he would be

crucified by the medical community altogether. He may just be trying to save

himself.

Good point, although I don't think he's probably opposed to vaccines.

But, yes, he's already " out on a limb " by promoting attachment

parenting, wouldn't be wise to self-ostracize more. -Angie
