I wouldn't want to drink someone else's BM that had been sent in by a viewer and not kept in the fridge. I would imagine it would stink and taste foul. I think the viewer was trying to make the point that it would taste sweet and lovely but I wouldn't want to drink a friends EBM let alone a strangers.

and in the same way an adult may not like to drink warm breastmilk/formula I'm sure a baby would feel the same about ice cold cows milk!

OPALFRUITS · 16/05/2008 14:25

I think the reason for them not drinking it cold was because of it being at body temp iyswim

becklespeckle · 16/05/2008 14:26

hmmm, could they not just have warmed it up?

OPALFRUITS · 16/05/2008 14:27

yes i agree I don't like warm milk on cereal or to drink I like it cold

I didn't see this so don't feel able to write my own complaint but if anyone wants to do one and circulate it for signing I'd be happy to add my signature

This show makes my eye itch. I have to turn it off before he comes on the screen.

I don't believe BM tastes bad. I would trust DDs taste buds over his anyday. DP doesn't seem to be put off by it either

I think fabsmum has a great suggestion. Perhaps they could get Jilly Goulden (you know the wine taster?) to come on and do a taste test. I wonder if she could tell if the BM came from someone who had been drinking Chablis or Cabernet Sauvignon the night before

foxythesnowfox · 16/05/2008 14:36

ditto clairybee's post

OPALFRUITS · 16/05/2008 14:37

If you expressed this afternoon and left it on the kitchen counter until tomorrow morning and then drank it I am sure it wouldn't be nice though

cushioncover · 16/05/2008 15:07

I have emailed OFCOM. Unfair bias by presenting Bm in a soured state.

Oh for God's sake, haven't you got anything better to do with your time?
It didn't break any code whatsoever.

sorry nancy but we care about babies and mothers and bf

Fine - but don't waste people's time in the process. Complain to the maker's of the programme not OFCOM - think before leaping in with both feet.
Didn't a whole load of you send ranting emails to Costa Coffee recently over a local newspaper story about a woman who was allegedly thrown out for breastfeeding?
Story was a crock of shit - anyone with a brain could have read between the lines and seen that.
This is NOT a matter for OFCOM. Ofcom are to deal with serious, important issues not immature stunts. They only take action when a very specific code has been broken.

also nancy, as wonderstuff already said

Looked on ofcom site and broadcasters not allowed to show anything that could endanger under 18s, also news programmes not allowed to have political bias and 'facts must not be misrepresented' what do you think are they breaking the code? here

facts have been misrepresented and under 18 could be endandgered.

i personally class that as breaking the code.

OP posts:
Nancy66 · 16/05/2008 15:29

Would an under 18 die from drinking BM? No - that's what it means.

no but if some babiese ar not bf because of this, they will be under risk.

thats what it means

What's that got to do with a couple of adult men sampling breast milk?

zippitippitoes · 16/05/2008 15:32

didnt see the programme sounds a bit silly like most entertainment but i doubt it is going to influence anyone in any direction

zippitippitoes · 16/05/2008 15:33

most of the adults i know who tasted breast milk thought it was yuk too..including me

milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk · 16/05/2008 15:40

they way mw was making out there is little emperical eveidence the breast is best, maybe influence some mums that actually no i don't think ill bf.
not the vast majority, but some mums
therefore putting those babies under risk.

he is totally irresponsible

OP posts:
Nancy66 · 16/05/2008 15:45

He's a TV presenter.

zippitippitoes · 16/05/2008 15:46

well i dont think you can really invoke the code you could write to the prograsmme or points of view or something

i think the code is more for advocating a dangerous activity without saying dont do this at home

i dont think people are as easily influenced by entertainers as all that

i mena someone says they dont like peaches on saturday morning kitechen i doont think it affects peach sales
