Jordan, her new baby and breastfeeding in OK magazine

Has anyone seen the interview with Jordan? I looked through a friend's copy quickly. I was not pleased with what I read about breastfeeding. The gist was "My breasts are for one person only. No one is feeding off me. And anyway, Junior had formula and he's ok". Fair enough, that's what she thinks, silly cow, but did the magazine have to print it?!! What a struggle it is in this country to promote a positive image of breastfeeding with this sort of rubbish appearing in the press. Having said that they were more interested in when she would next be having sex.....
Thoughts anyone?

she's just thick why ok keep interviewing her is beyond me -she seems to be in there all the time, its the only place she appears.

Oh, that does put a different spin on it homerton

blueshoes · 02/08/2007 11:22

you go, mears. Jordan is a negative example worth highlighting.

Doubt that anyone who has had as many implants as her and who views her pneumatic puppies as a cash cow [snurk] has a healthy body image anyway.

lljkk · 02/08/2007 11:22

I think it depends how the implants were done (am NOT an expert). They could have been inserted under her own breast tissue, via an incision under the breast, which could mean most the ducts are still intact. But maybe underneath the natural breast tissue is not ideal for some other reason.

Has she had other surgery to enhance repeatedly or to replace implants (they're supposed to be replaced every 10 years or so, right?).

I knew someone who had a breast reduction, whose mother had also had a breast reduction 25 years earlier, and knew a lot about this kind of stuff.

rebelmum1 · 02/08/2007 11:23

You'd have to stop SMA and formula brands from advertising though. She's entitled to her view regardless of feckless it is.

hotcrumpets · 02/08/2007 11:23

lmao at Jordan saying her breasts are for one person only

and here I was thinking there wasn't a person in the country who hadn't seen them at one time or another

I wish she would keep her breasts to herself they look bloody awful

Tinker · 02/08/2007 11:23

filchthemildmanneredjanitor · 02/08/2007 11:24

does anybody else find the idea of breasts being 'for one person only' and that meaning your partner, just really sickening and disempowering(is that a word?)

your breasts are part of your body. your partner may enjoy touching them or looking at them but they are your body.
once you hand over 'ownership'of your body to someone else, then it's a slippery slope surely. How can no mean no when your body doesn't belong to you?

(or am i thinking too much about this?)

NineUnlikelyTales · 02/08/2007 11:25

I love the way that Jordan thinks that her breasts are for one person only. So she has them splashed across every rubbish publication in the land, and even has them made bigger so that they are easier to see for the partially sighted

rebelmum1 · 02/08/2007 11:25

If it wasn't Jordan they could get any nit wit with a boobjob to promote formula. You'd have to ban nit wits with boobjobs too.

mumfor1standfinaltime · 02/08/2007 11:25

They are her breasts, surely it is up to her what she does with them!

bookthief · 02/08/2007 11:25

Sadly, Jordan is a massive role model for young girls and this just reinforces the message that breasts are not for babies.

NineUnlikelyTales · 02/08/2007 11:26

X posted with hotcrumpets. I too wish she would keep them to herself. Just how much do you need to spend to get that...overstretched look?

mears · 02/08/2007 11:27

homerton - I agree with what you are saying but I haven't seen the magazine yet.

I find her entertaining to an extent - I have watched the Katie and Peter baby diaries for interest.

It was outragious that her consultant did not encourage her to have a VBAC as her first delivery was vaginal - but she is just too 'precious' I think. She said she wanted to deliver naturally but her consultant did nothing to encourage that (allegedly).

She is far too selfish to breastfeed and she is entitled to her opinion. No doubt she will have been paid a fortune by SMA company to show the label and will have been provided with free formula for doing so. That is the bad part of it all.

IntergalacticWalrus · 02/08/2007 11:28

She's a wonderful role model for her daughter isn't she?

I haven't read the article, but it doesn't surprise me to be honest, given that OK is written by imbeciles.

mears · 02/08/2007 11:28

As I said though, she has provided great material for the school curriculum

rebelmum1 · 02/08/2007 11:28

god the breasts only for one man blah is sickening, yuk - one just doesn't need to know - anyway they're meant for babies which is what nature intended, it's quite perverse really when you think about it. Especially as they're plastic and for all to see.

IntergalacticWalrus · 02/08/2007 11:29

I also find it extremely upsetting that so many girls really admire her.

Women like her put the whole feminist cause back 30 years.

expatinscotland · 02/08/2007 11:30

How can her tits be for only one person when she gets them out all the time for men to oggle for money?

MrsSpoon · 02/08/2007 11:30

I don't really get this breasts are for one purpose only thing, I never had a problem with that, also mine seem to have increased in size every time post-b/f, think of all the money I have saved on implants!

Very about the SMA promotion and feel that she is very misguided to say how easy formula feeding is when she has the money to buy disposable stuff and no doubt ready made formula, bit different from the average person who will be chained to the kitchen sink washing bottles and trying to blearily make up feeds after only two hours sleep, grrrr!

Baysmum · 02/08/2007 11:31

I think Jordan can and should do whatever she feels best for her family BUT I really object when she (and previously Kerry Katona) are awarded those 'mum of the year' awards - complete joke! Jordan is a celebrity and plays the game well but she is certainly not a shining example of motherhood imo, all she seems to say to harvey on her show is 'get into your bed and I'll bring you an egg sandwich'!!!!

hunkermunker · 02/08/2007 11:31

SMA will have provided her with the formula free of charge - no doubt all the formula she'll need, FOC.

I wonder if OK publishing an image of a newborn being fed SMA breaks the Code? [wonders idly] Product placement, freebies, etc, etc - SMA know damn well what they're doing - "it's good enough for Jordan, it's good enough for me" - and there will be people who think this.

It does worry me that the implication is that her breasts are for Peter Andre - mine are for me and I will decide what I do with them. Or do you think she meant that they were for her? I don't, really.

LadyMacbeth · 02/08/2007 11:31

You can breast feed with implants. The implants are inserted behind muscle tissue and the implants do not interferer with the milk-producing equipment which AFAIK is located at the front of the breasts.

Just thought I'd clear that one up...

I am really dismayed though that OK have prineted this garbage... it is surely the responsibility of the editors to police messages such as this that will no doubt influence people esp young girls.

I mentioned this before on MN but I was also shocked at her comment during her last pregnancy about how she hated her fat pregnant tummy... what was even worse was the fact it had been printed on the front page - again IIRC on the front of OK.

belgo · 02/08/2007 11:31

"My breasts are for one person only."

did Jordan really say that?!!!

She's made her fortune out of her breasts being for far more then one person!

rebelmum1 · 02/08/2007 11:32

I think she's grim but its her choice and our choice to buy the magazines and biogs. You can't censor people that don't fit with your ideals. It's also our responsibility to raise our kids to have a more balanced outlook and not aspire to be a nit wit with big boobs.
