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)

indeed that very one

StealthPolarBear · 22/08/2008 23:22

wow the op is right
Anyone else seen the light?

ShrinkingViolet · 22/08/2008 23:26

OMG, I didn't realise that I was being so selfish when I bottle fed the DDs, please shoot me now. The the gorillas can adopt them, and the magical circle of life will be restored.

you know I've just reponded to a post from a woman who is feeling very guilty about the fact that after two previously failed attempts at BFing, she will need to FF her DC3 when he/she arrives in November. I really hope that she doesn't use active convos and see this thread title; she sounds low enough as it is without this shit thread title in her face as well

LackaDAISYcal · 22/08/2008 23:37

to be clear, that was to the OP....not because it's still in active convos because of lots of posts

but on that thought, maybe it's time this was allowed to die a natural death?

nappyaddict · 23/08/2008 00:26

is it of benefit to the baby to have an unhappy mum? no didn't think so. move along.

ThatBigGermanPrison · 23/08/2008 00:31

Must Try Harder

Gobbledigook · 23/08/2008 00:38

don't be so fucking naive OP
Grow up

Tortington · 23/08/2008 00:44

after the war my tits were shot to shit - metaphorically speaking, so i then went on to nurse geese in hampshire.

it wasn't the best of ideas

Mamazon · 23/08/2008 00:45

yes i agree wholeheartedly with the OP.

I am a selfish heartless bitch and it is all my fault that Ds now has ASD. if i had BF he would have been perfectly healthy and happy.

But then i would have had cracked nipps and saggy tits and thats justnot good enough im afraid.

I breastfeed and I don't care about my children. The gorillas can have them for all I care! I'm just too lazy for all that sterilising.

LaVieEnRose · 23/08/2008 08:42

hercules1 · 23/08/2008 10:35

I'm surprised to see you here after calling everyone a bunch of twats and saying you'd never come back here in July....

hercules1 · 23/08/2008 10:36
