I see once again TWS is going to tackle breast feeding - this time with the angle of can you bf in a swimming pool. Strangely, the subject of a thread on here the other day.

I've seen so many discussion topics on there that seem to mirror ones on here - only discussed in a lot less sensible fashion, usually!
Obviously we talk about things on here that are sometimes in the news, so any tv programme has equal access to those stories. But i think more than coincidence is at play here.
So, should they stop borrowing our stuff? Or should we be pleased our discussions are so interesting that we are being copied, albeit in a much more shallow way?

It was in the papers yesterday too.

I'm surprised this time they're saying the lady was right. If I need to feed my baby I get out of the pool, not fair on baby either, eating then swimming can't be good for them then you've got baby sick in the pool too... You wouldn't send a toddler in the pool with a snack either. It's all very strange.

I believe they get their discussion topics from the papers! Like This Morning, Loose Women etc.

I love the comment about The Wright Stuff being television's Daily Mail equivalent. Couldn't agree more!

They talk about stuff people are interested in at the moment. So do people on Mumsnet. So do the news papers. Get over youselves people!

Matthew Wright doesn't always use things that have been in the news, remember the thread about the fur coat that was given to someone then they called and asked for it back?
