unhelpful information on breastfeeding on mums.net

[verastones]

website displaying negative experience of breastfeeding www.mums.net

Really poor article on 3 quite negative breastfeeding experiences, personally I think it would frighten anyone from having a baby never mind breastfeeding

If you agree with me that it not a balanced article and does not reflect most peoples experience of breastfeeding, please complain to them

I have emailed to complain

www.mums.net/index.php?document=20&article=6

please note it is mums.net not mumsnet

excellent point Hulababy, B/feeding much more convenient in the middle of the night than bottle feeding

crumbs... missed out on the jelly babies again! Was slaving away in the kitchen making some spiced crab apple jelly. Stilton anyone?? (Never the same at the pictures, admittedly)

absolutely! and when you are out and about shopping etc.

obviously its not so good when you want a night out (i cant be bothered expressing milk) but I was drinking far too much prior to pregnancy and have really enjoyed a break from hangovers

I always feed lying down

am going back to work in Jan so will have to cut down feeds, dreading it

Breast feeding is so much more convenient at any time of the day Compo. And cheaper. Skinflints!!

I am OUTRAGED by Roo77's comments (and I breastfed my ds so no axe to grind). How patronising?! 'People just expect things to land in their lap'! Well, actually I'd rather my breasts didn't end up in my lap. But apart from the poor phrasing, do you really think flinging around insults will do anything to help to promote breastfeeding?

Roo, if you want to influence people, you are going to have to do an awful lot of work on your communication skills. And take more time and trouble to find out what the real issues are, rather than leaping to conclusions.

Uhmmm, had some Stinking Bishop that some cheese maggots crawled out of once... haven't bought any since, strangely enough!

Could try port, yes. Generally a little civillised for me, but could do it

why do members seem to jump down peoples throats for expressing thier opinions

oh, ok...... [fixed grin]

i hadnt realised that was not the thing to do

have apologised sincerely but its not been accepted

People jump down people's throats when their views are very patronising and tactlessly put

raps Hunkers knuckles. Oi.. off the yellow ones.

wish i'd never started it, felt quite upset all day that I shouldnt have got involved

think thought of returning to work and being seperated from baby is sending me mad

It's good here, I'm able to indulge my sweet tooth virtually...have gestational diabetes

Just cannot be bothered to have another bfeeding row. And never thought I'd say that - lol!

okay I'm going to get shot to sh*t for this but why do people start with all the

i thought it was because they wanted to stop the discussion

Sorry, Compo.
