for flouting hospital 'no sibling' rule for ebf baby?

[StarlightMcKenzie]

DS had an operation yesterday. He needed me to be there. Breastfed baby also needed me.

I took my Aunt to look after my ds and we were sent initially to a waiting room. The plan was for her to keep him there and for me to pop out of the ward to feed him.

However, we were there for half an hour and my ds started to ask for a feed, so I started to bf. Literally 2 sucks in, we were called. I pulled him off and he screamed so I jigged him about (which quietens him as a distraction) and moved towards the ward with him in tow.

The nurse told me he wasn't allowed. I told her that I needed to finish his feed and then I would take him back to my aunt. I offered to vrubg ds ub 10 mins but she got arsey saying that ds would have to have his operation cancelled if he missed his slpt. Nurse started tutting about him disturbing the other patients and that there was a strict no-sibling rule that I knew about as it was in the letter (it was).

so WIBU?

Some people have waaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

Couthy I'm with you on this. Apart from informing them before hand. Its quite reasonable to assume that dept may not have known she had a bf baby.

Hopefully, the situation will not occur again to someone else with a younger child, if the OP's feedback is listened to.

lanofsoapandglory hit the nail on the head!

How odd. I've never seen that before. How does one go about getting every single thing ever posted 'withdrawn'?

Glad to see some others on here sticking up for star, this has gotten totally out of hand with people inventing things. Mumsnet at its best!

The only inventing that's been going on is star's description of her 'exclusively' breastfed DS's diet either on this thread or here, here or possibly here where poor DS, who tolerates nothing but breastmilk, rice cakes and pine needles suddenly becomes a 'hungry little muncher' who could easily eat three meals a day plus snacks, yet is 'starving' for boob and will spontaneously combust without it, mysteriously as soon as breastfeeding him might break a rule that OP wants to override. I guess the diet reverts to pine needles as soon as mum wants to bulldoze home a breastfeeding point so she can prove how anti-BFing The System REALLY is. Pointlessly.

Hence her request to get her posts deleted, methinks. She doesn't like being caught with her pants on fire.

PS Also a breastfeeder here who does not want to be tarred with the brush of star's bizarre, bizarre form of lactivism.

Maybe that's what'll get put in place of this thread once it gets deleted

Blimey. Mountain meet molehill.

When the DC reached what I termed the Brezelphase, I was delighted cause it meant I could fling a brezel or one of those fruit drinks into a bag and be much more flexible.

Assuming that it might be a bit awkward at the hospital to judge when I'd be needed, I'd have taken something as an emergency ration.

This isn't a witch hunt. Star was bending facts to suit her enraged story - not sure why. Maybe she likes to be a bit of a fusspot.

bloody hell every single message withdrawn paranoid much OP

Your surprised with the roasting she's had here?

HelenMumsnet's too busy with David to delete the ones I've linked above. I'm sure she'll get round to it. He's a considerate lover

uppermid, the only person inventing things was starlight herself with her ebc dbf mushy pea ellas kitchen pouch eatingbaby.

Please don't use the word 'roasted' when I'm trying to get the image of DC and naked HelenMN out of my head

I'm still BFing. Do you want me to see where I can go and get ejected from while feeding then get ENRAGED about it? You could live vicariously
