Shocking picture - has this been posted before?

Just came across this

and cant believe it was actually a real advert for Macdonalds in Austria!

well I was told that no I did not have mastitis and yes I should continue to break open the blisters on my breast and carry on bfing by Mners despite the fact it was making my life and the life of my baby hell. So that was pretty offensive actually, as well as dumb. Therefore the terminology is approprriate. IMO.

oh i will deffo buy that expat. had a mill once with loads of seaweed in it, and it was delicious.

fishie, you know i've not made rolls for years. thanks for the recipe, i think dd will love doing it.

Aitch

Here is the news....

I gave birth on Saturday morning, I/we struggled to feed.

By Tuesday, my heart had failed, and my now(life long medication) meant I could not feed.

I had to switch to formula, becuase do you know what, I did not have a choice.

So less of the smugness,and more of the empathy and this board might be a happier place.

and this is aitch's fault... how?

let's have a link to those threads, donnie.

burger king anyone?

could murder a bacon double cheeseburger right now.

Good with Everything definitely has its place. And it's on my roast chicken, BBQ meats, breadcrumbs and spag bol sauce.

I can't get my panties in a bunch about it too much TBH. I raised my eyebrows at it of course.

I find this comment below "Is it because the photo is clearly a Photoshopped image of a babe at the breast, breastfeeding, consuming the most perfect of foods, and that the purity of this image is being corrupted and exploited for the purposes of monetary gain?" slightly precious though.

oh give me a BREAK, bree. LOL. i couldn't bf either. thank fuck there's formula about, my dd would've starved without it. doesn't mean i don't want information about what i fed her exclusively for the first six months of her life. esp in case there's another mini-aitch who may well be on formula for the same reasons as dd.

i thought it was taking blw weaning far too seriously and no way was that baby over 6 months old

thanks for the sympathy. you want to search, feel free. Not something I want to dredge up actually .Have fun.

very good misdee

lol, me too, FM. i just thought 'american'. (apols, expat).

Bree i'm sorry that you have not been able to BF. You clearly wanted to.

But saying that everyone else on the board that have or are managing to bf (some after lots of struggling) are 'smug' is a bitter insult please dont take your situation out on others.

Links, please, donnie....

fgs bree there is no judging of you on this thread outside of your ill advised nazi comment.
I'm a bf because I could.
I have dear friends who could but didn't
Some who wanted to but couldn't.
I do not judge them or anyone, it's your life.
Sorry I think this thread happened at a time when you are feeling quite raw and tender. Congrats btw

ooh, why congrats? is bree pg?

misdee.

donnie, that's not really very fair, is it? calling people a mafia because you feel you got some duff advice? and won't substantiate it? i'm hardly going to go looking if you say you don't want it dredged up (while dredging it up nevertheless). this is all getting A Lot sillier than i imagine the OP ever could have anticipated.

Right

I am walking away from this, but I can tell you that as a long serving member of MN, breast is best superiority still fucks me off.

It has been a long time since I have taken the bait of smugness, and I hope it will be a long time again.

Tutter

I am now off to have a glass of wine.

good for you i've had two - ner

the McDs ad is in bad taste, not sure about offensive though. Ads are targetted towards the nation they are advertised in. Maybe austrians would think that hysterical, I dunno. Watching Jonathan Ross and suchlike on TV, foreign ads are much more "out there" than anything you would see in this country.

butwhy...the recent threads are NOT about BF vs FF; they are NOT about formula being shit and making women feel bad about feeding their babies formula. they are about the unethical marketing and advertising of formula, the lack of proper testing on something that is pretty much the foundation to public health, the lack of information made available to parents so they can make an informed choice about which brand to choose and about how Heinz, in particular, are taking the piss at the minute. try reading them through

This thread is weird. Somehow it's become yet another BF/FF slanging match, interspersed with recipe tips! On the image itself: I'm pretty awash with hormones right now and it made me want to cry. Over the top, maybe, but that teeny baby, all innocent, being exploited by the evil Macdonald's marketing machine...sob!

ROFL at 'breast is best superiority'. why is it such a problem to concede that bm is better than formula? it just IS. i know that and amn't threatened by it, and i ff.

read what you wrote, bree, YOU were the one responding to something that isn't there. and i find the 'long-standingness' of you or anyone else on here completely irrelevant... we're all allowed to have an opinion, but it's probably best that we stick to what the thread's about (a v odd maccy d's ad) rather than hop on our personal hobbyhorses.

It's funny though eh?
