To think it will all kick off on here after this is aired?

[MsScarlett]

My mum just texted me to say that tomorrow there is a documentary on BBC3 at 9pm called, "Is Breast Best?".

I predict a bunfight!

I better get stocked up on pop corn....

IMO breast is best..how many days, months, years a Mother can breastfeed her baby for is another matter..all kinds of legitimate reasons as to why not though, i guess.

Why a bunfight over that?

But breast is best - to try to say otherwise when there is so much evidence is just silly.

Breast isn't best. It's not part of the Taste the Difference range. Breast is standard - the normal way to feed a baby.

I predict this thread will kick off .....

OMG - marking spot and setting TV to record!

It's not.

End of discussion :o

I wonder if it's like taking the Pepsi challenge?

Isn't breast feeding best becasue of anti bodies etc? (i do not know as my baby was 25 weeks when he was born so i skipped this part)

K999 running out now to buy pop corn as it'll probably kick off now!!>>

What makes it best? Bottle fed both my children, both A* pupils, no allergies and have never had antibiotics. Both have been identified as gifted and talented. How would breast feeding have made them any better.

The tagline is "Cherry Healey explores the topical issue of bf. She meets a teen mum who never even considered it and a group who believe that bf is the only option."

So it sounds like there's going to be some fecking awful stereotyping of teenage mums and a polarised debate, forgetting the mix feeding majority of mums stuck in the middle.

I'm learning...

Come on..who is next?

draws my vertical blinds takes cover under my brown leather sofa

The 1:1 attention between mum and baby are what make it 'best' but that can be obtained through formula feeding also.

They would have had a golden glow 2plus2

Good plan!

Meh.

Well said puffin!

Just set the sky box to record the program and have my judgy pants on the airer ready! Am poping to the shops tomorrow to stock up on chocolate to feed my outrage

darleneconner is spot on.

I can' beleive anyone could be interested enough to watch it. Who gives a crap what other people feed their own babies?????!!!!

I had seen this advertised at the weekend op and thought the same as you

the write up here suggests they are going to just look at the extremes "

'Along the way she meets Jess, a teen mum who never even considered breastfeeding and has formula-fed all the way with no worries at all, and a group of 'lactivists' who strongly believe that breastfeeding is the only option for a new mum'

I suppose they couldn't find just normal people?

I honestly tried to bf but dd was really tiny and we were both getting stressed so it was ff all the way..she is now 'advanced end of normal' so not worried (smoked through pg too..preps for flamage)
