Sorry but DVO really annoys me with her bleating and excuses for not breastfeeding - rather than just say it is not for her she bleats and bleats and makes excuses for giving up on bf and I am sick of hearing her go on and on. BF is hard and it takes perseverance and time to establish both supply and technique - she did not give it long enough and completely choose to ignore the health benefits of bf and now keeps bleating on.

I know some people will be outraged by how I feel and I do know there are ladies who have genuine problems with bf and can't carry on. but I 'do' feel that women like DVO who, lets face it, gave up on bf and didn't give it long enough, really take away from women who really persevere through all the problems that bf can bring.

And don't get me started on the fact she left poor baby and went on that trek...baby needs mummy at such a young age not for mummy to go off and leave her. I really don't think much of her anymore!

ok, this is 'MY' opinion and everyone is entitled to their own!

DVO is a first time mum, she tried her best, 3 weeks is better than nothing.she didnt have to mention it but she did and i dont think she was doing it for publicity she was just giving an honest account of her own experience.

My Bleat: DS1 wouldn't latch on because of Ventouse delivery and very sore head which made him scream everytime a well meaning MW grabbed him and shoved his head against my boob. spent 6 weeks trying to make the guilt go away by expressing. Resulting in never really bonding with him and five years later feeling that there is still something between us
DS2: Fed straight away, but at 9lb wanted feeding 24 hours a day, chose MY WAY to feed him for a week then FF Bonded straight away, happy baby happy Mum.

If anyone had sent me a letter and a mug I would have punched them.

"But once a woman has thought about it and reached a careful and considered decision, there shouldn't be any remonstrance from anyone and still less a public mud-slinging. "

I couldn't have put it better myself ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave. (Great name btw :))
