It seems to me that he was asked about this in an interview, and the last time I checked it wasn't illegal or wrong for someone to give their opinion when asked for it in an interview regardless of whether or not they are a politician.

Everyone has their first amendment right to tell others how to raise their own children, an approach that brought into play what the parent might want could be more effective and easier to coincide with the needs of a real parent. Briefly , it seems gimmicky.
 
...methods? "Miss Ford, a former maternity nurse, has sold more than a million books which advise new parents to follow a childcare routine of strict bath, bed and feeding times."

"However, Mr Clegg is not among her many fans, and has told how he has vowed never to follow her advice again after trying it on his eldest son Antonio."

Me, I have to agree with him. But is it wrong for him to say what he thinks on the matter?
 
I don't normally think people should comment on other people's parenting. However, she did write a book and Clegg is free to criticize what he read in the book, especially since he tried to follow what was in it.
