Tell me I am right and this is tosh - GP tells me I must drink at least 2 pints of milk a day to 'make milk'.

Complete and utter tosh

bollocks

fletchaaarr · 10/04/2008 14:43

(It is tosh)

elliott · 10/04/2008 14:43

yes utter tosh. Possibly worth a complaint...

S1ur · 10/04/2008 14:44

heh you can't take me to polite company.

Milk is good to drink anyway though

WigWamBam · 10/04/2008 14:44

Tis rot. You don't need to drink milk to make milk.

Your GP is a git.

frogs · 10/04/2008 14:44

tosh

mrsgboring · 10/04/2008 14:44

Hmmm and how do the 40% of the world's population who are lactose intolerant make milk for their children, exactly...?

You do need up to 1000 calories extra a day though.

Ask him if you need to drink surgical spirit to become a surgeon? (Answer: yes)

moondog · 10/04/2008 14:44

Fucking idiot.
He knows fuck all.

moondog · 10/04/2008 14:45

You don't even need to do that Mrs.

PortAndLemon · 10/04/2008 14:45

tosh...

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 14:45

I think seriously you need to complain in writing to your health trust to ensure he is educated so as not to keep throwing this crap around.

Dragonbutter · 10/04/2008 14:46

Cows don't drink milk

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 14:46

No. You'd have to be seriously malnourished not to be able to breastfeed.

onepieceoflollipop · 10/04/2008 14:46

crap rubbish. Print off this thread for him once it gets to about 200 posts.

MarsLady · 10/04/2008 14:47

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's talking out of.......

It's tosh!

VictorianSqualor · 10/04/2008 14:47

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
What a muppet.
Tosh.

fletchaaarr · 10/04/2008 14:47

could you ask him

"fletch says what have you been imbibing exactly, to be spouting such utter crap?"

goingfor3 · 10/04/2008 14:47

Cows don't drink milk to make milk.

onepieceoflollipop · 10/04/2008 14:47

oh and avoid crisps too they make the milk crunchy.

mimismummy · 10/04/2008 14:48

What a load of rubbish!! Extra fluids will help stopping you feel dehydrated but that's about it. Honestly, what utter crap.

MrsBadger · 10/04/2008 14:48

you certainly don't need 1000 calories a day extra either (though it often feels like it ) - it's more like 300-500. Info here

policywonk · 10/04/2008 14:49

Definitely complain to the practice manager and copy to the primary care trust and local NCT/La Leche League! Presumably he's spouting this crap to all and sundry. If he knows jack-shit about bf-ing, he should at least be encouraged to keep his trap shut.

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 14:49

Yes, you just need to drink to thirst. That's it.
