That man has ishoos. As one comment to the 'article' says, it's not an article.

You're right there is a lot of tosh in that article, but also a lot of tosh in those comments... like from becky

"A bit of healthy education and good old fashioned hard work are typically all that anyone needs to be successful breastfeeding."

Ah, if only life was so simple.

Some men are just so envious of our ability to breastfeed.

At least there are some straight-talking replies on the comments page. Dh did himself a disservice by sending me the link - it's put me in a grumpy mood for the weekend. wink

Please avoid temptation to click on the link - take tiktok's word for it - it's shite. Don't give the writer the satisfaction of getting loads of hits.

Very poor, badly researched, emotive and nasty.

Blaming bf for aspergers and ADHD is bizarre.

Anyone else seen this article? I can't believe a reputable publication (which dh assures me Live Science is hmm

)would print such garbage.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
