pregnantelephant

I am a loser because I bottle fed, or because I can post and defend the bottle feeders?

I await your clarification.

KB - forget about it - and you do what you want to do and bloody well be proud of it Don't let anyone put you off. Sorry I jumped to conclusions as well. (There are some people on here who WOULD start a thread like this just to sit back and watch the fireworks.)

I asked a genuine question as did you.

Let us shake and move forward.

Sadly, the longer you are on here you will discover that there are people who can not think beyond boob good, bottle evil.

Every so often I find the energy to tackle an OP, apologies if I got it wrong, but it gets friggin tedious being told how your child is disadavantaged.

kittenbaby · 21/08/2007 23:15

twinkle im so so sorry if i upset you that would never be my intension feel a bit close to tears now

kittenbaby · 21/08/2007 23:17

Hey Kitten, you didn't upset me. I've moved way beyond that now. It's that age old thing of choice. Many people (not saying you) who breastfeed successfully think that those of us who don't chose to stop, which so often isn't the case. I was simply pointing that out. I thought you were being a bit mischievous. Now I know you weren't.

Honestly, forget about it. And like I said, tell your DH around £800 - not too far off the mark I bet and it should make for a good shopping trip.

You haven't upset me. Shake.??

soapbox · 21/08/2007 23:21

KB -actually it was LGJ who was sadly rather rude and aggressive - I can't see that you did anything to provoke her reaction at all.

Nevertheless, these issues can get heated on here and I can only assume that LGJ was a little over enthusiastic about getting in a preemptive strike on this occasion.

I'm sure she will apologise to you in the fullness of time

kittenbaby · 21/08/2007 23:23

bree shake
twinkle shake

sorry im a clumsy oaf at times xxx

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 21/08/2007 23:24

Soapy

Twice now I have said, let us shake and move forward.

Do I need to prostate my self ?

Handshake and acknowledgement, generally works round these parts......

Twinklemegan · 21/08/2007 23:24

lol at clumsy oaf baby kitten image.

pregnantbabyelephant · 21/08/2007 23:25

no need for you to apologise kb

she was attacking you !

for no good reason i might add!

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 21/08/2007 23:25

Shake....

dressedupnowheretogo · 21/08/2007 23:26

my bfing cost me four nursing bras at 26 qid each one box of tomme tippee breast pads a week and an eletric pump and a few bottles and a m/wave sterilser and i bf for 45 weeks and one day

but im now bottle feeding shes turned one and into milk and oh my god does she gzzle so id say unless baby is doing one thing and then another you wont know chick e.g some days they feed loads and others they hardly bother

and i reckon you only save a couple of hundred at the most breast feeding when i add up how many sheets i washed due to huge milk supply and matress toppers being replaced and washed

soapbox · 21/08/2007 23:27

Ah well - I'm an old fashioned sort who prefers to apologise properly and unequivocally when I have clearly got something wrong and been unnecessarily rude!

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 21/08/2007 23:27

Sorry PregnantBabyElephant

You need to move on, all resolved here without any need for inflammatory posts.

Good night, God Bless

Much love to all

Even breast feeders.......

soapbox · 21/08/2007 23:28

ANd all the poor OP wanted to know was how much she could wrangle out of her DP/H to spend on a post baby splurge

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/08/2007 23:29

kb - don't be upset by Bree or by the thought that you might have upset her. She's a lovely person but quite well able to stand up for herself , and her story is quite exceptional, which can make this a sensitive subject (and it is always an emotive one on MN).

pbe - I don't think that calling her a loser was at all constructive. You have quite well demonstrated yourself to be more of a loser on MN in the past, and have also demonstrated your propensity to hurl insults when people don't agree with you.

I'm glad that you are happy breastfeeding kb. I also began with the aim of going to 6 months, but am still now going at 18 months. A good thing that someone on here said is that they would wake each morning and think 'today I will breastfeed', and take it day by day, rather than setting yourself targets.
