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

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?

We have gremlins! Confused

We're going to go through this thread now. Wink

Evening all.

Right, big fat ahem at this thread.

Please can we remind you about our Talk Guidelines, specifically the ones about no personal attacks and no trollhunting (ie suggesting another poster might not be genuine).

A couple of clarifications, too...

The OP's posts were all withdrawn by MNHQ, at the OP's request, several months ago. The OP told us people at the Department for Work and Pensions, who were looking into an allegation that her ds wasn't disabled, were reading her posts and quoting them back. We thought, in the light of that, that her request was perfectly reasonable.

We can see that some of you have searched the OP's history and brought up some of her more recent posts on this thread.

That's fine (although perhaps not particularly friendly Smile) but we do need to remind you that doing so specifically in order to make personal attacks or trollhunt is not on.

So, if I was to post about how much I loved David Cameron (using him as an example, for no particular reason at all) and folks were to pull up on a search remember me saying a couple of days ago how much I loathed his guts, it would be fine to post, "Hang on, didn't you say you loathed his guts two days ago, HelenMumsnet?"

It would NOT be OK to post, "HelenMumsnet, you fucking troll. This link here and here and here show you to be the biggest liar of all time."

Equally, if I had posted in 1993 about loathing David Cameron, it would not be on to use that a evidence of my lying/trolling today. People are allowed to change their opinions at least once a decade, after all.

Hope that helps.

For what it's worth, Starlight has been on MN for ages and we've never had reason to doubt her as a genuine poster. We'll drop her a line about the dangers of changing genders/ages/details in posts - and how that can often lead to problems when others notice and assume an intent to deceive.

Right, as you were. Can't keep Big Dave waiting...

@StuntGirl

Oh I got deleted! I don't think my comment was troll hunting or a personal attack tbh.

Yes, you posted " Do you think they hand out medals for breastfeeding or summat?"

Which we read as a personal attack. Not as bad as some others on this thread, admittedly...

HelenMumsnet · 06/02/2013 22:39

@nipersvest

so, helenmumsnet, the op's posts were withdrawn because she was clashing with yet another health care professional?

shocking Wink

Maybe. But then again, maybe not so odd if you have an SN child to battle for, eh?

We do like to give folks the benefit of the doubt. We concede that some might think that might may us look like twits every now and again. But we'd rather that than assume the worst of everyone.

HelenMumsnet · 06/02/2013 22:40

@FrankWippery

I didn't make a personal attack or troll huntery like one.

I said 'sound like' and queried how an EBF baby can be and EBF baby, yet eat a gazillion pouches of grub.

Sorry Frank. You said "OP you sound like a lot of work and really rather entitled to me."

Which we read as very much intended as a personal attack.

HelenMumsnet · 06/02/2013 22:50

@MmeLindor

Helen Don't you delete posts if they repeat the PA that was deleted? Are you going to delete your own post.

And can you pull Olivia's hair for me. That pic is going to haunt me.

Well, yes. But was trying to be helpful re deletions, which is hard to do without quoting.

And that pic's going to haunt you?
