So apparently the Daily Mail thinks it’s appropriate to write ‘by’ when it’s a piecemeal pile of snippets from an interview…
This Just In:

For the record, Michel Odent would like you to know:

About the pages in Daily Mail, first I was not the author of the article. It was written by a journalist after an interview on the phone. Also it is probable that people just read the sensational title. In fact I have never said that men ’should not be at the birth of their child’.

Warmest regards

Michel

Here’s an article that more eloquently defines his position: Is the Participation of the Father at Birth Dangerous?

*phew!* what a relief! Okay back to the scheduled programming (I’m glad I didn’t already do the rest of the series, let’s see where I’m gonna go with it now!)

Thanks everyone for the action alerts!!!!!

Love,
Heather
