Pints & breastfeeding

[Bashinthecattick]

Was in the pub and this mum walks in. Really cute tiny baby. Got chatting and she told she me had baby 4 days earlier.
Frankly I was astonished she was in the pub and not comatose but good for her if she's happy and can manage. It wasn't a mad rave, but middle of the day, family pub and she clearly felt able.
Sat down, mum on next table. She then went onto order about a pint (at this point I was just in earshot).
But over the next two hours she ordered three more (all alcohol - I was earwigging) and drank them all while breastfeeding.
Ok, yes, I judged. I said nothing, of course. She seemed pretty steady, not slurring etc. Was I an arsehole? Do people do this?

Ah right so if people don’t always follow 100% guidelines they’re bad mothers who don’t love their kids.

Personally I think neurotic overbearing dramas llamas make terrible mothers who push anxiety into their children. But I’m sure those kids will be sooooo grateful when they’re saddled with MH issues that they slept in their parent’s room til 6 months 🙄

I know you’re thinking that you’re delivering all these bomb drops (LeT tHat SinK iN) but you just look like an unhinged lunatic with a really nasty streak.

@MimiandFifi seeing as you an an expert you will know the 6 month recommendation is only one of many to help prevent SIDS. a big part of SIDS prevention is breastfeeding. Presumably you think formula feeding mums are crap and don’t live their kids?

See.

BTW I don’t think you’re actually a shit mum. And I’m sure you love your child. But you can’t literally say those things to another mum for not following guidelines when you quite clearly flout the very same guidelines.

Let that sink in.

And you owe @Emmamoo89 a massive apology.

Oooofh @TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl
This 👏🏼

Amazing 😂

Ooh how very convenient that ‘everywhere in the house is set at 22’ but your child’s room! It’s still too hot for a toddler, and as well as still being at risk of SIDS, toddlers overheating can cause all sorts of problems.

Also, why is your 2yo still in an infant carrier? That’s insanely dangerous!!! They should be age 15 months maximum. And I hope you never have them crammed into that carrier for more than 30 minutes at a time?

So by YOUR estimation - literally yours - you are a shit mum and don’t love your child. Right?

Thank you 😊 yes she does!

I don't need to listen to your drivel. I don't need to justify myself to anyone. My son is safe. You don't need to be a twat all ya life.

Advanced searches are very interesting.

I don’t think any of us should be listening to someone who thinks being a vegetarian is a ridiculous choice and that women don’t deserve privacy at night from strange men in postnatal wards.

In terms of temperature, a lot of people have a different temperature in their kids bedrooms ime. It was the only room we used to turn the radiator down/off in when necessary to keep it at the recommended temperature.

I know but @MimiandFifi - a poster who has been telling everyone they’re a shit mum that doesn’t love their kids if they ‘poison’ them (which is absolutely absurd seeing as alcohol barely affects breastmilk) and has been saying they’re luckily their kid hasn’t died and putting their ‘selfish needs’ above that of their baby - is also boasting about having a scorching hot house. Which can be dangerous for babies and toddlers. They’re apparently too cold if they don’t overheat their house.

Now I think that kind of shitty attitude and hypocrisy, that nastiness needs to be called out. And it’s ever so convenient that they forgot to mention their child’s room is cooler.

@MimiandFifi

this!
you can’t argue with this surely?!

So she’s under 13kg at age 2? She must be tiny!! Aren’t you feeding her properly? Shit mum AND a shit human by the looks of it. Hope you’re still breastfeeding and will til minimum age 4, and that she’s out her car seat every 30 minutes?

She sound underweight to me.

Underweight and overheated and crammed into a too small car seat, which she’s obviously in for far too long

Youre so lucky the worst hasn’t happened. How would you live with yourself?! Putting your needs before her clearly!!!

While we’re at it - are you going to acknowledge how wrong you are about claiming women ‘poison’ their breastmilk when they drink? Seeing as many people have posted links to show just how little breastmilk is affected.

I've posted this on here before, but I was pregnant with DC1 about 15 years ago, I attended the antenatal classes run by the NHS at my local hospital. At 33 I seemed to be a lot older than the other women there, who mostly seemed to be in their 20s.

The midwife who gave the talk about breastfeeding was obviously desperate not to put off young women from BF, so memorably announced, "I always say, if you're sober enough to sit up, you're sober enough to breastfeed!"

I also hope you NEVER have ANY pleasures for yourself because that would mean you’re putting yourself before your child of that pleasure doesn’t benefit her.

With her attitude she won't know what pleasure is

So the only thing we do know about you for a fact, then, is that at least some of the things you post aren’t true. Interesting!
