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!

Anyone else feel this is nothing to promote bfing? All the bfeeders are being made out to be weird

This bit is ok.

• doing nothing

She is exact impartial though is she?

She's using the word "boobs" for breasts when talking to the consultant and asking his professional opinions on bfing .

it's on bbcthree of course it will be made to get everyone going. bbcfour have a programme about cassini on instead, much more educational

I had a fabulous cover which had a boned structure (much better than trying to use a muslin to cover up) which helped in public but it was expensive - maybe teenagers could be given better covers for free?

Made out to be weird? Typical. Could they not just interview normal women breastfeeding without a big fuss.

Arrgh - typing too fast not impartial

I'm sorry but that woman Cherry is annoying the arse off me!

PunkPixie - if you're on to your 4th you must be pretty much an expert yourself! I didn't notice any nipple confusion - they all seemed to like both breast and formula.

I hate the word boob actually. It's so twee. Would rather say tits, bosoms, breasts even than boob! Norks is even better and a word I only heard of on here!

I don't agree that ff have less of a bond

Cherry seems to be asking questions she doesn't want to hear the answer to.........

I don't either..btw I like the word boob..lol

Dreadful dreadful story about that poor woman who lost her little boy. But am I too cynical to read into this a subliminal message that "look, that little boy was breastfed and he still died"?

far too cynical!

I bf both my boys for about 5/6 months and my DS1 is a mummys boy and DS2 a daddys boy - it does not effect bonding!

OK finally she gets it right - it effects how we feel but not how the babies feel.

Yes, I think you're being cynical Gaelic. I think this programme is pretty pro-BF.

Not a parent so have no axe to grind either way!

Umm probably yes gaelicsheep. Think she may have been picked for the sob story but don't think there's a subliminal.
I think Cherry expresses her feelings on failing to bf very well actually. Very honestly.

Nor me Pdog. Mix fed DD, felt no differently towards her during either feeds.

When I gave dd a bottle at about 3 weeks the feeling of bonding washed over in a way that it never had with the boob feeding.
Horses for courses.
Sometimes the fact that I get caught up in all of this makes me sooo mad at myself.
Each baby and each mother is different. End fucking of. Argh.

Well I hope you're right. Even if not intentional I think it was a poor decision. I agree the programme does seem to mean well.

Oh, I watched that other programme and wondered about what would happen...

wow Tijen! I honestly thought she wasn't going to bf from the last show Cherry did!
