Tik Tok is leaving MN as a result of the Milupa advertisement on the home page.

think I am dense..the advert/link is legal..yes?

Please don't go mears - go to the hairdressers obviously but please come back I mean.

thought I was the dense brickwall to be honest!!!

Sorry Joolstoo - realised that did not look right. I am just angry and sad that I am having to consider my position on mumsnet. I never attend study days supported by formula milk companies (they suck in health professionals too).

I think the advert here is unethical and I am really torn about what to do if it stays.

Am off to hairdressers. No more from me.

well its up to her.
But i feel it is a shame for the rest of the people that relay on her. Dont want to say too much as she is not here to 'defend' herself. But isnt she NOT standing up to whhat she bekieves in by walking away and not supporting those that could use her help?

Jools, I would never call you dense. It's the metaphorical brick wall I am banging my head against which is dense - you just posted a few seconds before me.

Joolstoo, I think the "dense" was directed at me.

tik tok is not taking action to upset anyone, that isn't really the point. She feels she cannot be true to her self and her principles if she stays on MN.

Can't really spell it out anymore clearly than that I'm afraid

I really hope I'm not being called 'dense' here

A thread I have started to answer your questions. It is my last word on the subject you will all be glad to hear

mts - tiktok's not out to upset anyone. She's made a decision for herself.

thanks SSD
I have read threads and arnt really getting the answers to the questions I am asking

So how do people sell products if they dont advertise?

marthamoo I apologise, I read your post wrong.

please give mumtosomeone a break, sounds like she's being told off for not doing her homework. Her opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

read some..dont really answer.
So 1)who will tiktok upset
a)milupa
b)mumsnet
c) netters who value her advice?

mts - it's not a bottle feeding debate, it's about advertising.

no one is against formula, they are against the way the formula companies advertise. REad the other thread from mears.

ok..so some are against formula,saying it is not the next best thing to breast milk...what is?
simple question

but mumtosomeone - you havent read the links and keep asking questions that would be answered if you read them.

mumtosomeone, I breast fed too for 8 mnths, this was my choice. I agree with you that anyone who bottlefeeds has a hard time on this site sometimes, being undermined. Who are we to say what others should do?? We all make a choice.

more and more on here I am made to feel unimportant and that my opinions are not valued!
Not sure why I come on!!
Good job I am relativly thick skinned and not a young first time mum or you lot would have me in a heap!!!

They are saying it is very close to breastmilk but it's not. You will need to read the links.

OK, feel like I am banging my head against a very dense brick wall here.

Going to do something more productive.

I think we're all a little misguided if we think that mothers to be are not aware there are several brands of formula milk on the market - which one is chosen may be due to whats on offer in hospital, what they've seen in a supermarket, what a friend as recommended or through advertising.

Every business promotes their product - its a heinous crime [rolls eyes]

As has been oft stated here and on the man related threads, most mners hadn't even seen the advert and never would have until it was pointed out - you've done Milupa a favour.

I can't believe I'm posting here - round and round and roung we go

thank you...for nothing!!
So whats wrong with saying it is the next best thing?
Can anyone understand me here? or are you just ignoring me?
