To think that mums who bottle feed dont care about their babies.

BF is best, so mums who FF are only doing it for themselves, it's of no benifit to the baby (excluding the mums who have a good reason, e.g. tried and it hasn't worked)

But can Gorilla's bottlefeed?, thats what I'd like to know?

charchargabor · 22/08/2008 22:56

oh come on, mememum2, the OP can't have been serious? If you don't know the answer to your question, or didn't know how people would react when you posted it, you'rew a tad naive tbh.

The first really bad war, or, the really really bad war?

flubdub · 22/08/2008 22:57

well theres always one who takes it to heart, and this time it was vixma

georgimama · 22/08/2008 22:57

If you're not a troll, try posting something of interest, that doesn't aim to alienate at least50% of your audience.

If you genuinely want to know why women FF, well try searching the archives for the 1000+ threads like this we have already had.

I'm sorry but Gorillas as wet nurse, truly a good idea no? (starts business plan) closer in genetics than a cow, heuristic play? Fan fooking tastic.

lilolilmanchester · 22/08/2008 23:01

giving the OP the benefit of the doubt (ie serious thread...) I breast-fed both of mine, and am very pro BF. However, I firmly believe that it is a lot harder bottle-feeding (making up feeds, sterilising, hearing baby scream til bottle is heated up then cooled down etc vs just lifting up and latching on) So no, don't think Mums who bottle feed don't care about their babies and there are lots of reasons why women don't BF. I think it's sad when people don't even try, especially as they are ultimately creating more work for themselves. But we all make our own choices and really shouldn't judge TBH.
