A new book out has warned against telling your little girl that she's beautiful.
Lisa Bloom, author of Think: Straight Talk For Women To Stay Smart In A Dumbed-Down World, says our obsession with talking to our little girls about their appearance is teaching them a dangerous message.
By telling them that looks are more important than anything, Bloom says we're fuelling our image-obsessed culture.
I can understand the theory but really - how is any parent going to stop themselves from gushing over their babies, boy or girl?
The miracle of parenthood is that we all think our babies are the most gorgeous things in the world.
