was this a stupid thing to say?

[robinrednomorenowemptybreasts]

my cousins just had her third baby, baby is a week old, when talking to my mum after mum had been to visit, mum said the baby was going every three hours, and that she got to have a cuddle after the baby had been fed.

when mum said the baby was being bottlefed, i said oh thats a shame, mum got quite annoyed with me.
i would not of said that to my cousin or aunt or anything.
and now im wondering if i was out of order saying that.
please be honest, i won't mind if you say i was, i just thought it a shame

Blimey Tiktok.
You really have it in for me don't you????

She said it was because your body doesn't produce milk if you didnt use it the first time.

RE the earth is flat thing. My dad said it isnt. He rang me earlier to tell me he was crazy and on his day off he decided to do some training(he is a cyclist) and to do a ride of 25 miles(see crazy) and he told me that Norfolk is not flat despite what people say!!

colacubes your last post is bonkers. What is wrong with you? Why are you making stuff up? People can read the thread you know, and actually SEE what I wrote. You do realise that, don't you? Get a grip.

I am so sorry to hear Hunker's left. She made such a unique contribution. She was wonderful to me when I was struggling, and to think that she finally just got a bit squished by all the stupid idiots throwing out unfounded accusations makes me so angry I want to spit.

It makes me sad to think of the mnetters who will miss out on her information and advice.

I hope hunker will come back. Her blog is a fine addition to breastfeeding support and info, and I often point mothers I am in touch with towards it.

No, she wont be back. (Not while I am in control of her password ). Of course if she asks me for it I'll tell her straight out..........

I wish she was back here. She is so much better at the b/feeding advice than me.

Blardy hell I have a small break from mn to try sort some stuff out in rl and come back to find hunker gone! Not good enough will have to plague her via the blog when no 3 arrives as I will need all the help I can get but am determined to do it this time. I figure if I can express I can feed so am not going to listen to the HV or MW who were telling me that expressing was my only option due to the inversion.

I can understand that Hunker wants to take a break from Mumsnet and join real life for a while but I hope she hurries back, we'll miss her and her good advice.

VVVQV fair enough if you don't want to say but why on earth couldn't hunker come back even if she wanted to? Or do you just mean using that name?
Sorry for being so nosey, it all just sounds so mysterious! She's not a spy is she?

Morning lc, sorry but I am not bonkers nor making stuff up.

"don't go around telling people that things are harmless when they are not. It's bloody irresponsible. And it forces someone else to state bald and very uncomfortable facts just to stop you from perpetuating a damaging myth."

One of many quotes after my harmless alternative comment.

Quote no:2

"There are millions of peoples children out there, and some of them will be harmed by formula. Some people care about that, and wish they could do something about it. You clearly don't."

Page 13 the last quote, so clearly not bonkers or making things up, and you may check as you wish, as you mentioned before I am sure people will, just to check I am not a wrongfully educated bonkers ff feeding in denial mother, as I do believe you have stated.
I believe that covers your bonkers statement, does it not!

Have a nice day

Stealth - because I have her password (as mentioned below ) and have changed it...so she cant log in as hunker. If she wanted to return, she'd have to re-register. Which she'll not do.

No mystery or secrecy!

HTH!

oh, so she's not a spy then
can she pretend to be to make me happy?
Although i suppose if she WAS she'd hardly let you tell us?
So she is.
Right.
Thanks

colacubes - I don't think I speak your language. Let's give up communicating directly with each other, shall we? It's distracting from the actual debate.

Oh my word this thread gets worse there are more things to worry about in this world than a baby having a bottle. Yes bf is best some people cant do it so please take time to consider these things before being so critical.

I'm no lactivist Colacubes, but saying that you've seen bfing mothers struggling to give their babies enough nourishment is every bit as annoying as whatever comment you read here that got you riled up.

It can be difficult to establish breastfeeding in the very early days, when the mother would be only just out of hospital. Is this something you have really witnessed often?

My children WOULDN'T TAKE A BOTTLE. I tried to give both BM and Formula and they wouldn't take the bottle.... So clearly they were getting nourishment!

madame, I know I commented on struggeling to bf and nourish their child, but this is not a negative point surely, many mothers struggle to bf, just an observation whilst I was in hospital, and with a few friends. I have not demeaned any form of feeding, or a parents choice to do either or both, and I certainly
have never commented on bf children being undernourished, anyone on here would tell you that, even my nemesis lc

I have not read the whole thread, only OP.
I wouldn't say its a stupid thing to say but more a pointless thing imo.
