before she gets too heavily involved with mums with babies/pg women.
Went to a "meet the team" cup of coffee (and teacakes ) this morning at the Sure Start Children's Centre adjoining DS2's nursery.
There was only 2 parents that turned up - me and a friend. Anyhow, conversation turned to alsorts, Brining up baby - including "the wicked witch".....not my term I hasten to add . And breastfeeding.
Now I should add I was there with DS3, 4 months, had no bag with me at all (well I was only planning on dumping DS2 and going straight home - not spending the morning nattering and drinking coffee) and DS3 didn't need a feed of any description while we were there.
Anyhow, this volunteer pipes up "I would NEVER give a baby of mine a bottle" (after it had already emerged that my DS3 is mainly bottlefed and that she BF all 5 of her children - but didn't like feeding public). My friend then pipes up - yes but you HAVE breastfed DS3 and played the organ for a Sunday morning service at the same time.
Volunteer just sat there and wasn't really quite sure what to say - while one of the Centre workers said "oooh can you do it again and take a photo - would make an excellent advert for BF'ing being possible anywhere" LOL.
