The touch paper was lit after Ford complained to the NSPCC that Verity’s hardline approach to childcare as demonstrated in her Channel 4 series Bringing Up Baby is tantamount to abuse. Verity’s response? To challenge her opponent to a public competition to gauge whose method is the most effective.
Both women recommend the use of routines in childrearing but Verity’s approach is strictly old-school, insisting that her babies are left to ‘air’ in the garden for several hours and not cuddled for more than ten minutes per day. So controversial is her advice that she’s been asked to stay away from The Baby Show in Earl’s Court yet this is the woman who earns fees of up to £1,000 per day for her services.
