What's your best burping technique?

[rumtumtugger]

I'd like to try out some new tried and tested techniques for getting those last stubborn pockets of air out!

I went back about 5 weeks and saw nothing. So apologies if there are indeed some posts. How do you know when she was registered? How do you see that in a search?

[FavoriteThings]

ooh, I have been deleted. Didnt know I couldnt say what I said. Strange. Oh well. Apologies to MNHQ.

[VivaLeThrustBadger]

Fair enough. Personally I wouldn't care as long as what they were saying is right. Like I say I've seen enough Drs spouting bollocks over breastfeeding. I have a feeling TikTok used to be a peer support type person but I couldn't swear on it.

She introduced me to the KellyMom website which is awesome.

As for looking up posters...if you go to advanced search on the top right side, there is then a bit where you can search for messages my poster name. So I did that and put "aig" in that box and it brought all her posts up.

FT this is the internet. Anyone can purport to be anything. Not sure how you'd check tiktok's credentials without her outing herself.

DS1 never really burped despite my efforts. DS2 does massive ones, helped by having a change of position and gentle pressure on his tummy. Ie being put into his cot!

[VivaLeThrustBadger]

Very true. I could be lying that I'm a midwife.

You do have to be careful believing blindly what someone says no matter what qualifications they say they have.

[FavoriteThings]

bonzo. I know that. That is what is bothering me.

Viva. but where does it bring up when someone registered? I must search in a different way to you. I have never seen a registered date.

[FavoriteThings]

True as well Viva. Trust is paramount.

bf counsellors are trained by 4 recognised organisations in the UK. They undergo extensive training, midwives receive 2-4 hours of training in bf and as far as I know drs / peads receive none. All bfc require evidence to back up statements that they make about bf. This separates urban myth from information. This is why Tiktok is asking for evidence to back up statements that have been made re winding - exactly like a research scientist would be required to do to back up any research!

[VivaLeThrustBadger]

Ah, no I suppose it doesn't actually bring up the reg date. I just scrolled to the bottom of the page so where the oldest posts were and it said 2007. I presumed Aig registered when she started posting but guess it could be different.

There is a way to do it but I can't remember. Someone told me once and I remember a list with membership numbers and dates. Don't think I dreamt it,

[VivaLeThrustBadger]

I meant not

[aig]

Paediatrician get little training on BF but those of us who breastfed our babies tend to get quite interested in the subject.

[bonzo77]

FT believe or disbelieve what you chose. Others will do the same. You can't police the web. MNHQ are pretty good as sussing out the ones who need sussing.

Oh, and you don't need qualifications to give great advice. And qualifications don't automatically mean you give this advice.

And scientists will tell you that there are different weightings of evidence. With the double blind randomised controlled trial at one end and anecdote/ expert opinion form the other. It's all has its place.

[frazzledbutcalm]

I'm not really understanding why FT has such a problem with tiktok ....

[FavoriteThings]

So TikTok is a registered bf counsellor? So why wouldnt she have said that if she is? Assuming that she is. She may not be?

"All bfc require evidence to back up statements that they make about bf". What does that mean.
And she isnt a research scientist. I am well aware what one of those is, and she isnt one of those.

Yes Aig could have registered at any time. we cant see from advaced search as far as I am aware.

[frazzledbutcalm]

FT .. do you know tiktok personally, in rl?

[Bert2e]

Bfc impart evidence based information rather than legend!

[FavoriteThings]

tiktok is not medical, said something about science. She got very concerned about a poster saying the word most, when indeed the poster may well have been right. And then asked for evidence, when she has not been near a hospital as far as I know, except to give birth 3 times.
Why is she concerned about evidence when she herself is neither a doctor, nurse etc etc. Not even been involved in childcare it seems. As bonzo rightly pointed out, "anyone can purport to be anything".

[frazzledbutcalm]

So FT ... do you know tiktok in rl?

[devonshiredumpling]

my best burping technique is to give him lots of cider and let nature take its course

[FavoriteThings]

No I have never "met" tiktok before today.

Bert2e. but how can they even know whether the answer upthread was most or some. I think I will have an internet look at bfc.

[frazzledbutcalm]

So how do you know that she has no medical background and has never been near a hospital?? You're talking like you know her! You have some kind of weird chip on your shoulder about her that just does not make sense! You're coming across as really bizarre ...

[Bert2e]

Tiktok may not have known, she may have a theory, which is why she asked for supporting evidence.

[VivaLeThrustBadger]

Anyone can be concerned about evidence, not just medical types. Surely its a sign of an intelligent, thoughtful person if they ask for supporting evidence rather than just believing a statement someone has made on the Internet?

[FavoriteThings]

She muttered something about science, that is all.

If she is a bfc, having had a brief look, then she will have had some training as far as I can see. But she didnt say she is a bfc. So probably she isnt. So it is all rather vague.
But saying to a probably ordinary poster "Oh dear.........where is the evidence for this" is like saying to someone at a bus stop, "Oh dear.............where is the evidence that a bus is on its way?"

[frazzledbutcalm]

It seems like you're badgering her ... wanting to oust her as the monster you've created her to be! I don't understand how you can post with such strong conviction that she has no medical or hospital knowledge .. when you don't even know her! You sound really crazy.
