Eastenders - will Heather be a breastfeeder or not?

[LoveBuckets]

Don't know if anyone's noticed but Heather is expecting down Walford way.
There's a petition to the BBC to suggest they make her a breastfeeder, doesn't have to be in-yer-face, just a few comments here and there and not showing her slaving over a sink full of bottles or trying to work a steriliser. No harm done eh?
It's here if anyone fancies signing it.

Done!

I cant imagine it's going to work though

And to be fair to eastenders, Roxie expressed for her baby ( whos name eludes me ) when she was born prematurly and i think she breastfed.

yep, she did, for a few weeks and then apropos of nothing moaned to her sister about how all the 'middle class mums' sneered at her when she brought out formula in baby group.

and there ended eastender's bfing storyline.

Really ?

I must have missed that episode.

yes, it was completely nuts actually. lol.

It sound odd.

Goodness knows why they cant just have charactors in the backgroundn in the cafe bfing, with a magazing and a copy of the daily mail heat magazine or somesuch.. like us normal folk do.

cup of tea obv, not 2 magazines

well it depends if it's a long feed or not...

Oh now that's interesting, I just assumed nobody in Eastenders even went to baby groups!

Ooh ooh Nicola in Emmerdale just popped her pads in and put a v-cushion away!

Saw Nicola last night too - was brilliant. Just normal, she did not even mention bf, just put her pads and and handed the baby over. Just how bf should be shown on TV.

Well, She is !

{hgrin] LOVELY !

even..

oops just started a thread watching it now
