cheaper. less hassle. better for baby. helps bonding.

suzywong · 28/02/2005 15:13

well that is one criteria but Mammal and Mammary gland, that's a pretty big shout for the reason it's labelled that way

LucyJones · 28/02/2005 15:14

because it's free and doesn't need sterilising!!

PiccadillyCircus · 28/02/2005 15:16

Because these glands grew and I had to shrink them somehow.

suzywong · 28/02/2005 15:16

do I mean criterion?
anyway all of the below as well

LucyJones · 28/02/2005 15:16

and it makes your tummy go back to normal quicker

JoolsToo · 28/02/2005 15:17

Lucy - breastfeeding doesn't have the monopoly on that I can assure you

Beansmum · 28/02/2005 15:17

because it's best for the bean, but if breast and bottle were totally equal I would still choose breast because I am lazy.

Newyearmum · 28/02/2005 15:18

OMG I am pro bf and pro a good argument but even i can't get into this one again, still too exhausted from the other thread!!

Misdee give me some of your energy, you're supposed to have just given birth!

Oh alright then... because cows milk is for calves.

misdee · 28/02/2005 15:19

keep it light hearted

I was going to say why do people keep posting these threads??? You know that if people don't restrain themselves they can turn into heated arguments within about five minutes!

Fastasleep · 28/02/2005 15:21

Then again I really really can't talk about that kind of thing today ...the shaaame.

Enid · 28/02/2005 15:22

my boobs got so enormous I had to justify it somehow

Fastasleep · 28/02/2005 15:22

Enid! Don't flirt!

Fastasleep · 28/02/2005 15:23

(Don't mind me Mondays and Fridays are bad days for me!)

beansprout · 28/02/2005 15:27

It's best for Bean and for once in my life, I get to wear a D cup bra!!!

PiccadillyCircus · 28/02/2005 15:33

Me too Me too on the D cup bra .

Normally much smaller .

beansprout · 28/02/2005 15:35

Shame said bra is so grim though...

Beansmum · 28/02/2005 15:36

get a glamorous elle macpherson one like me! I would wear it even if I wasn't feeding bean

beansprout · 28/02/2005 15:40

I could do but then I would have to fend off dp and tbh, at the moment, I quite like the deterrent value
