tomorrow on the matthew wright show, bottle feeding guilt

[alright]

last bit of the show promoting tomorrows he says "are all these pro breastfeeding campaigns making mothers who bottle feed feel guilty" we discuss this tomorrow.

oh great. i predict: militant, bitty and hippy/lentil weaver comments.

we are just assholes aren;t we.

OFGS.

aaaargh.

shall we have a bet on how many minutes into the segment someone says "bitty"?

I'll put a fiver on 2 mins

Or something about 'I was FF and I'm alright'

Or "many many women simply cannot breastfeed"....

(aka many many HCPs don't give decent support)

Some women just aren't comfortable 'flopping their breats out' 'cos of course, to feed you have to 'flop 'em out'

is this a sweepstake then?

I'll put my fiver on someone saying something about breasts being sexual objects

I bet they'll have a 'live' breastfeeding baby and a comparing bottle fed baby - both mums will look smug and have the air of being right and then one baby will cry loudly and the presenters will make some cringy face and mutter something about 'never working with children' and then every one will go 'ho ho ho'. The breastfed mum will be chosen to be middle classed, wearing organic cotton, have natural armpits and baby will be in a sling weaved by nuns from Peru. Bottle feeding mum will have a pineapple hairdo, Juicy couture stylee track suit on and baby will be wearing something frilly. Just to keep audience happy with the stereotypes.

Am I being to cynical?

We should devise Bingo cards - with different phrases you check off when you hear 'em...

Here's my guesses

• 'it's not as if you can tell which kids were breastfed and which weren't....'
• 'I can't bear the smug way some women breastfeed'
• 'all these militant breastfeeding supporters...'
• 'nazis'
• 'mafia'
• 'pressure' 'anyway, there are lots of good reasons to formula feed....' cue lots of myths* like 'you can eat what you want', 'you can have a drink', 'dad won't feel left out'

Yawn yawn yawn.

LOL @ Boobalina

righton there tiktok sister nice way to add to the guilt

Do we know who his 'guest-types' are?

ooh it's like bullsh*t bingo we used to play in meetings at my old work, points for every time someone used some crappy management-speak...

what about "happy mum happy baby"?

I knew they'd be a post on here when I heard it! I'm not looking forward to this, although I'm sure it will be a laugh to see what they have to say about it.

It's some female MP tomorrow, this weeks regulars are Christopher Biggins and an asian woman (don't know who she is). Could be interesting. I'm still not happy about Kaye Adams's comment last week.

and of course evry phrase will begin 'I am pro bf but...', or 'I support bf but....'

(like my HV... 'I am pro bf but you do know you cant make milk if you don't drink it...' Really? is this wine leaking through my shirt then? excellent I shall make a fortune )

Peachy your health visitor is class and i wish i could leak wine just like you

lol peachy

My money is on the phrase "breastapo" turning up in the first 5 mins.

Bet there won't be anyone who decided that breastfeeding was the way forward, struggled with it as most of us do, finally got over her difficulties and is now just getting on with life. And who, when she's out and about doesn't "wap her norks out for all to see", but sits somewhere nice and quiet where the baby can feed in peace, and peels back just enough clothing to allow the baby to latch on, covering any extra exposed bits with clothes or a muslin.

what was kaye adams comments last week?

Personally, I can't wait to hear what Biggins has to say on this important issue.

I'll miss this as will be at work. Is Matthew Wright still a twat?

My thread about Kaye Adams's comment.

Me too, it will be interesting, I've noticed gay men seem to be all for it or totally against it.

I love it when someone mentions how Matthew and Jeremy Kyle look alike. Matthew's face is a picture. Not sure where that thought came from, but I had to share lol.

wot? no one mention has yet mentioned 'my milk just didn't come in'?
