I guess I just don't think telling someone "eat more protein" is bad
advice! Sheesh, any OB worth his or her salt will tell a woman pregnant
with twins that she needs to eat a lot of protein. That is not
quackery! Granted, I didn't see any other responses from Hope the
Childbirth Educator -- and maybe some of them were sheer quackery (can
you provide examples?) -- but the one I saw about protein was perfectly
responsible.

But some women don't and instead will follow the advice given by a "childbirth educator" on the internet who has refused to give her credentials when asked several times. Much of the advice she has given is completely contrary to standard medical and nutritional practice and not every reader has the sophistication to distinguish between the two.
