AIBU to feel a bit sorry for this newborn baby?

[TheCountessOlenska]

Just seen some pics of a new baby on Facebook - only a couple of weeks old. I counted at least two other family members aside from the Mother giving the baby it's bottle.

Surely in your first few weeks on this earth, it's not too much to ask to be snuggled safe with your mummy breastfeeding

run fast.

oh dear

have the DM newsroom sent you out for being naughty early?

Oh fgs get a grip! A baby being fed by people who love it? Its clearly doomed nob

judgy much? Am not Doing full ff v bf thing here but if you ff, one of advantages is others can help with feeding . And feeding is not only way of bonding or nurturing a child

Oh well it is Friday I suppose....

and too early for bumsex or drinks...

Do babies really care who feeds them?

Maybe the mum needed a few minutes rest?

Oh oh, that's the voice of doom.
FWIW my DD had her bottle (yes she was FF, kill me) from anyone. She is a prefectly sensible, sociable, loving 10.8 YO.

Remember the saying..it takes a village to give a child a bottle raise a child

how's it going Worra?

oh yes that poor child who is being fed by the family who loves it

BF vs FF is so 2007.

Oh ffs - bore off

My 7 year old niece (now 16) gave my newborn a bottle, and begged her mum to take a photograph. It made her feel special. It is a lovely photo. I am sure my sister also gave baby a bottle, and I honestly dont think it has caused him any issues that lots of people wanted to care for him.

You're an idiot.

Off you pop, now.

YABU to feel sorry for a child who clearly has a large loving family.

OP you are probably bitter as you are lacking in support and spent 24/7 with a baby attached to your norks seething with resentment

can we have some more of those please pixiestix i've put the kettle on

I have bf my 2 sons till they were over 12m. I am exclusively bf my 3 month old daughter. I have also had to spend a long time reassuring 2 friends who desperately wanted to bf their babies and couldn't (well maybe they could have persevered with a large detriment to their won well being) that feeding babies is a tiny bit of a baby's life and that they should stop beating themselves up.

BF is wonderful and fantastic if it goes well. It must be hard enough when you have stopped without really wanting to or because circumstances weren't ideal without reading posts like this.

Oh do grow up.

God what a bunch of bastards eh? Helping to feed a baby, what is the world coming to?

YABU

Wow! Just another pointless BF v's bottle feeding thread! Every mum is well within her rights to feed either way as long as baby is full and healthy get over it! And move on

How original you are though! You must feel so proud to belittle other mum's with your nosey opinions!

Here dunk this is your breastmilk!

you are a shit and you know it
