Parental Oversharing

To share or not to share, that is the question. "Famous Baby" author Karen Rizzo wrote this novel about parents posting their kids' photos and stories on the web after her own daughter was mortified to learn a personal moment had been shared for the world to read. Style expert Anya Sarre defends her decision to incorporate son Sawyer into her brand ever since before he was born, even creating #sawyersworld for followers to track sharp style. Board certified pediatrician Dr. JJ Levenstein, MD, FAAP explains her son's disdain upon finding out his life was being shared with his mom's patients. There's really no clear-cut answer to this dilemma. Karen Rizzo's book "Famous Baby" is now in bookstores. Check out style expert Anya Sarre at anyasarre.com and follow her on Twitter @stylistanya.
