Aibu to be cynical about nutrimum/Danone

As a BF peer supporter this article makes my blood boil. Oh how convenient that you chose to highlight a story about a mum who chose to stop BF at 6 months, presumably to go on and buy Cow and Gate or Aptamil follow on formula.

And why is it ok to say that mums who feed a child up to age 2 is extended breastfeeding? BF is supposed to be normal up to the age of 2, even if our UK society has been brainwashed to think otherwise.

This is not a formula bashing thread. Honestly FF or BF it's up to you. But mums who BF being subtlety steered into FF by a supposedly pro-BF brand of a well known formula manufacturer really rule me.

About a year ago one of my Facebook friends shared a nutrimum article about how dads should give their babies a bottle (didn't stipulate it being BM or FM) in order to give BF mums a break. Yet any true pro-BF brand would never suggest that for a new mum trying to establish breastfeeding as it may interfere with supply and cause possible nipple confusion.

Sorry my chubby thumb hit post too soon. Danone own formila brands like Cow and Gate.
