[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really the “stars” but a well liked and respected child psychologist in our circle/area who everyone consults.  She even runs new mothers groups. Everyone raves about this woman so I have consulted her several times.  I slowly realized that I felt great after talking to her because she was telling me what I wanted to hear.  And it turns out that she wasn’t even a true child psychologist but had a masters degree in marriage and family counseling.

I made a huge mistake based on her advice.

I wondered if this was an LA thing (we’re in Los Angeles) or if it happens all over.   [/quote]

OP, certainly you  can understand that there are certain trendy parenting things that you don’t have to follow. Consider yiur e perience as a lesson in “everyone is different” and move on.

For me (n=1), I felt irritated by both the BLW book and apparently the hottest potty training method ever, Oh Crap. I digested what I could, dontsted the books to a mother’s group, and employed the best advice I ever got - listen to my child, and not to stress. DD wore pull ups, and was potty trained at 20 months. She also was fed purées along with chunks and is an amazing eater.

These aren’t humble brags - they’re just saying that you don’t need to listen to who is the most popular. Listen to yourself, listen to your child.

As far as a therapist to the stars goes.. well, most stars would have a very different life than most people. Wealth, travel, resources that most people cannot access. You bought into marketing without realizing your life is a very different place.

You did what you felt was best, and yes, this happens to parents all over.
