To think Jamelia is a nut job

[Boudica1990]

Loose Women today, Jamelia has decided in her wisdom that breast feeding should be compulsory.

WTAF?!

Pretty sure women should be able to dictate what they do with their own breasts!!!

Yes we all know breast feeding is better, but some choose and I emphasise CHOOSE to formula feed, and you know what's that's fine also, but can you really force women to use their body in a way they just simply don't want to??

I did not mean to offend you by what i said. As i stated in my post i don't for one second think a woman should be forced into doing something she doesn't want to do.

But i also think it is a bit odd to completely write something off as being awful without ever experiencing it for yourself IYSWIM

If you genuinley feel that BF is not for you then fine thats your choice. but don't sit and explain to a breastfeeding mother that it feels weird/strange/wrong and that you wouldn't 'like the sensation of the milk coming out'

Yes mrf she probably would spout off about people with illnesses having kids..that is the level of twattery she displays.

I would love to see how perfect she is with her children, since she is the greatest mum ever

Once upon a time, yes, it was the only way to feed your child. Around the same time that infant mortality rates were higher.

BFing is a choice not an obligation, and I for one am pleased to live somewhere that there is a safe and suitable alternative.

She cant string a sentence together without every second or third word being "like" so why would you pay attention to her?

Because I'm heavily pregnant and hormonal I normally wouldn't take any notice but she hit a nerve with me today, to call a new mum.selfish because of a decision that mum has made angered me.

Jamelia is thick and opinionated. Not a good combination. I don't think she will last much longer on LW as she hasn't even got the articulacy to back up her ignorant claims about this, that and the other (usually some woman hating clap trap she is spouting)

I found myself actually preferring MyKleen Ass last time I had the misfortune to hear her irritating yapping.

Thank you Redtractor

I'm very pro breast feeding. But not everybody can, or even wants to. Totally their choice. A happier mum is better for the baby. Jamelia really is a stupid woman that thinks she's an intellectual.

Just seen that she called non breast feeders selfish. I've seen red. Surely it's more selfish to be that stupid and procreate.

I remember reading an interview with her where she kept bringing up the subject of Usher despite having to give really weird answers in order to bring the conversation round to him. I assumed it was 'Mentionitis' and she fancied him, but then she was asked whether she'd heard any weird rumours about herself and she replied that she'd heard rumours that she and Usher were an item, and that she thought he had a massive crush on her. The interviewer said that s/he'd never heard any mention of that at all, which made me - since then I've thought she was a bit odd and delusional.

I stopped taking her seriously (as if I ever did) years ago when she was complaining about the pressures of being "so beautiful"

She IS a nut job.

I agree with Anyfucker that she seems to be a bit of a woman hater

Turtley really...no. It's nothing to do with you...you can think it's "a bit odd" all you want but your opinion is of no consequence.

You said don't sit and explain to a breastfeeding mother that it feels weird/strange/wrong

Erm...why not?? If that's the case for someone...then WHY can't they SAY so??

Your friend's description of why she would not like to try is HER choice and she can tell who she wants to! Being a breastfeeding mother doesn't make you able to tell people what not to say about their OWN choices. Get off your high horse.

She once said that she only passed her driving test because the examiner was 'star struck'

She seems sweet but....not the brightest.

Who takes advice from the ' loose' women, any way?

Every time Jamelia opens her mouth she comes across as stupid and ignorant. This time was no exception.

Oh yes fab idea, let's force women to breast feed, maybe fine them or incarcerate them if they cant? And take them off life saving drugs just so we can make them suffer yes?

And... What do we do with the babies who can't breastfeed? Force them? Starve them? Maybe strap their mouths on? Or just shout at them?

Fabulous idea. As long as you hate women and don't believe all babies should survive.

(I say as a woman who bf against all the odds, which was MY choice, as a fully independent and adult human being...)

God I WISH Mumsnet would invite her on for a live Q&A session!

Hell no. She's that thick, ignorant and un self aware can you imagine the damage to people's blood pressure?

One Yes! It would be hillarious! Nobody would ask her serious questions.

Tis tempting, agreed, but really? Would she get it?

Jamelia just opensher mouth and says stuff I dont watch it anymore but when I did I was slack jawed at her. This latest rubbish is just tha t rubbish although she probably isnt alone in thinking that

Maybe she thought if she said usher 3 times he would appear like beetle juice

YANBU

This is happening in Dubai I think it is and it's disgusting. Women who can't feed are forced to get a wet nurse. Despicable.
