to think MN shouldn't support boots co-advertising newborn bottle sets and "follow on" milk

[ICBINEG]

when there's a national campaign on to promote BF?

Presumably this advert passes the letter of the law regarding the non-advertising/non-special offers on formula for new born's but it defies the spirit in every way possible.

AIBU to expect a little more social responsibility from MN?

Unfortunately I'd say there's probably more than just two

Luckily they're in the minority and mn has plenty of sane posters who can support women to bf if they choose to

Bollocks.

yes pickled I wondered that.

remember when going out in the snow it's essential you wear thick sockpuppets socks... ;)

So Checkpoint where do you stand on skinny jeans?

And do you know where one can buy a sledge?

I think we were having a meaningful
discussion at one point Charlie, Justine agreed with her and everything, was all fine !

I need a stylist. I live my life in jeans it must be time I became more refined...

Boob, much respect etc but I really hope you're sure of your ground re PND and bf. I stopped bf entirely under my own steam, with the love and support of people who were horrified seeing me fall apart.

Bf may well reduce the risk of PND, statistically. I've heard some mothers say it helped their recovery. But for others bf is a contributing factor to PND, not a cure for it. I stopped, and my recovery started.

I think that most intelligent women will take very unkindly to well meaning people sympathising with them for not being given the true facts. I'm clever, have resources, and oodles of support. I've never had a problem gathering facts or information. BF was one of the things that triggered my depression. It just was. I'm very well informed, honestly I am.

Oh fuck it.

One of you cunts lovely ladies will have to drag me back up to the top of the hill again, you know that, right?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

wannabe ive given up lovey I cant be bothered with clothes anymore I just shove on what is comfy, I used to dream of GOK styling me and feeling up my bangers and telling me i looked fabulous 'girlfriend' but even that notion has left me

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I can't abide that gok.

He's like a naughty little schoolboy who thinks is hard to say bangers every 30 seconds.

I'm proper excited now! I want schnow!

DH swears he's straight and it's a ploy to fondle "bangers" :)

I don't think I'll ever look good naked again

I liked him when he first came out ( not that out ) he is starting to annoy me now but I used to want fondled , I think your DH is right he just likes to cop a feel catgirl

Oh right, erm jump I have a pair of skinny jeans but don't necessarily like them. Also I have a red plastic sledge in my garage. Will lend out if required to anyone in the Cambridge area. And I still love ich!

Is that right!?

I don't look too terrible in the pitch dark

No snow, dp is self employed and works in construction. Snow = skint

Oh no moomin when MY dh worked on building sites winter was a little lean it is just rubbish eh

right im off to bed least it is friday tomorrow yayy night all

Morris, I do hope you are very much on the mend now, and never go back to that dark place. I know what a bleak place it is. And if stopping breastfeeding was the right decision for you to aid your recovery, then I will certainly not berate you for it.

My issue is when women are not informed correctly to make that decision - and that is not their fault, that is the fault of medical practitioners, the whole "To take anti-depressants you MUST stop breastfeeding" and "Of course you are depressed, you're breastfeeding", which you do encounter, and is not positive in any way.

To stress again, that is the fault of the professional teams, not the mother.

Yep and it's always around Christmas when the site has been shut for 2 weeks already.

I want snow in march or April

I look good naked after five pints of Stella.

Im off to bed now, Moonmin, I want to be INFORMED if you go into labour!

I feel all peculiar today! I think I will last a week or two yet.

Certainly Im only virtual sledging just in case.
