I really dont see the point of this!!!
If I have upset you I appologise!!
But We have both now got an oppinion of each other that is more than likely wrong!!!

Please no more arguments, please. I think Nursery jo was enough. I think what hercules is saying is that she put her 1st child from 5 months in a nursery from 8-6 and gave them expressed milk and breast feed out of the hours. now she has had her second child and i think she has a stay at home daddy. Good for her. Does it make any difference if she or he stays at home as long as long term it is one of them.

I'm still waiting for you to explain your earlier comment about me which I have already pasted.

Jeez., will people please stop posting things about me that arent true. Stop assuming!
Lousise, your assumptions are completly wrong. If you dont know about me please dont post statements about me that are not true.

I think I am quite entitled to defend myself when someone posts things about me that arent true.

All I am asking for is for Mandy to substantiate the comments she made about me.

Does is matter if it is breast feed or expressed. It is the same milk

I may have miss understood. You said you went back to work when your baby was 5months..so did you not breastfeed this child? Not that it has anything to do with me. But you have come over as a firm breast feeder and imo have appeared to put down people that dont. I know sometimes things are read in a different vein in which they are written and if I have miss judged you then I again appologise!

I dont see the point of your questions.
I would like to know though why you posted your earlier comment about me.

Bloody hell. All of you fight your own corners then. Can not be bothered with crap talk..

So I ask again, where have I implied that I think everyone should breastfeed?

Bye then Louise.

I have never said that anyone should or shouldnt breastfeed..have I?
I said H comes over as though she thinks everyone should...thats how I have read you..sorry if wrong?
I said your child is looked after by someone else..not you from 8 till 6..is this also untrue?

louise..dont go!!!
Dont feel threatened or pushed out!!!
We...or I dont want that. Better not make a generalisation!!!

I dont think that at all and I dont like that you have posted that as my opinion. Where do you get that from?

I work now from 7.30am and my dd has no bottles.

i must admit i have come accross hercules alot. She does come accrsso very short and sharp to others but then gets affensive if you ask her about her life. SOme people don't like letting there guard down i suppose. There are a few of the regulars that are like this. You will see them around the sites.

I think I have answered that..have I not?

maybe they dont want the new ones on their patch!!!

catch up later, got stuff to do now!!!

I'm totally boggled here. Hercules didn't say everyone should breastfeed. Hercules didn't say everyone should be with their babies all the time. She just said that extended bf was ok.

And now all of a sudden you're implying her opinion isn't worthwhile because she, at some point, put a child in a nursery?!? And in that context, you're asking lots of questions that are (largely) irrelevant to this discussion.

I think Hercules came over as you should BREASTfeed...never letting on the fact she hands her baby over to be looked after by someone else!!!!

i am suprised that your child went to nursery 8-6 with your views.Or have I miss interpreted you?

I cant get over the way some people dictate to others!!!
Only knowing book facts and not taking into consideration individual situations!!!

I have no problem with anyone believing in anything but dont try and force it on others!!

All of the above are lovely comments you made about me.

What did you base them on?

Or all they all misunderstandings on your behalf?

But you have come over as a firm breast feeder and imo have appeared to put down people that dont

Louise - where have I become short and defensive when people ask me about my life???

Is it too much to ask you where that happened??

It's weird how opinions like "everyone should breastfeed" seem to be said, when they're not. I think people often say that nearly everyone could breastfeed, with the right support, and wouldn't it be lovely if they had that support. Not armed men forcing them to breastfeed, support.

Short with your answers on this thread and many others i have seen you on. maybe its the way you come accross to people in what you say.

It's weird how some posters get all defensive when they are asked to justify not very nice comments and assumptions they make about other posters.....

That's probably because I'm usually bf when on mumsnet.......

Cant believe this.

And it's weird and suspicious how people get somewhat annoyed when people are rude to them. Oh, no, wait, it's not.
