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.

matthew wright, it appears, has never heard of control in scientific studies

[BabiesEverywhere]

aRGGHH...He has already wiped away all the studies on good health and IQ and method of feeding, by saying it is class based But Tiktok says that good studies account for stuff like this.

Stress does not affect breastfeeding !!!

[hunkermunker]

He had a real opportunity to do something positive here - in Breastfeeding Awareness Week - and he's taken the easy way out by pandering to popular perception, instead of challenging those perceptions and creating a worthwhile broadcast.

He probably considers himself well-educated, more's the pity.

[princessglitter]

He is implying that there is little empirical evidence for breastfeeding!

[BellaBear]

but if you are allowed to advertise formula, where does he think the info is coming from? Some impartial formula company? be more intelligent!

[BellaBear]

that was to MW, btw

Fiofio,

Tiktok previously posted that stress does not affect milk supply and that...

"The milk ejection reflex ('let down') can be affected by huge stress, but it is temporary and will not affect supply in the long term. Just keep offering the breast to your baby. She may also need to suck for comfort and to feel close to you. This effect does not normally last for more than a few hours (though I have come across one case where it lasted 24 hours, when the mother had a sudden bereavement)."

I had a very stressfull time, seperated from my exclusively breastfed 4 month old baby, on the verge of organ failure (gall stone stuck in a duct, I was bright yellow) not eating for week on painkillers and I still kept my milk and continued to express/nurse.

[BabiesEverywhere]

FioFio, Yes, it was terrible But you are right I was lucky it was only for a few months not forever..

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

why do they make out so many woman can't bf, yes i know some can't be really they make it seem like an impossible quest !

[BabiesEverywhere]

Interesting that is the second or third woman mentioned that they couldn't breastfeed, so they swapped to formula on day three. My milk didn't even come in until day five !!!

They had very poor support.

[SirDigbyChickenCaesar]

i have this recorded to watch later. i'll not bother then i think. what a load of shit.

[misdee]

fio did i say they were lying no! i said it didnt stop me personally.

Another myth, breastfeeding mums need rest to make milk.

Breastmilk can be kept in the fridge for 8 days, not just 24 hours like they said.

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

fecking hell that really was terrible! i missed half of it, what was the two womens stories?

[kayzisexpecting]

Don't say that BabiesEverywhere!! I was going to tell DH that when the baby comes I need extra rest!!!
