nanny-whichever-one-you-are-i-lose-track:
as has already been asked on here, why WRONG.
GROSS i can absorb (if disagree with), but WRONG leaves me cold, cos it so obviously ISN'T (there, got me shouting now too!).

spidermama, i currently aspire to lentil-knitting, in fact i'm just longing for someone to call me an earth-mother

Read a link to current and useful peer-reviewed information rather than trust one member of the health profession? Nah!

wrong is an expression of gross. I think once they are old enough to a) not need it and b) understand the booby and what it is is a form of abuse the longer it goes on the worse it becomes!!

I don't know about yours nannyjo but my breasts are not gross. They're not even sexual at the moment. They're for feeding my baby and you are strange and scarey.

Nannyjo, polite words fail me.

So I'll just tell you to fuck off.

hunker, ds invariably bf whilst HV is here. every time.
don't think she could find anything to complain abt in my knitted-lentil-cotton-nappy lined nest

Wow, Roosmum, you let a HV into your house?

Only kidding - just wouldn't let mine in as she's about as much use as a limp handshake!

F U 2!!!

no need to tale others OPINOINS to heart, if U can't take it then don't look!!!

ditto spidermama.

actually i feel quite sorry for you (& any kids you may have) if that's how you feel abt 1. bf 2. your body.

think OUTSIDE the box. go on, just try.

again, pathetic. it really is.

Just interested, NJ - how old are they when they don't need it? And how old are they when they understand what boobys are?

Oh, I can take it, NJ. I think it's very sad you feel the need to dish it out though - says a great deal more about your twisted sense of what your body can do and what it's designed to do than it does me.

Watch the language please ladies.

hunker, she's a sweetie really, comes in for a cuppa & brings free books! last time she said she actually enjoys coming as it makes a change from most of her other cases (well either it does or she was just being polite). i try to be nice as she sticks needles in my ds

nanny-whichever, you're entitled to your opinion, which i really don't think is gonna affect hunkermunker AT ALL, she's a big girl & can take care of herself.
have you read the WHO page yet??

Sorry, SG. Won't happen again. Tonight

Thank goodness I didn't get the mod job, eh?!

i actually had to give up BF and was very upset but even still i would have stopped at 1 definitely but that is me! I still stick to my beliefs no matter what.

Cows milk is more than efficient at 1 and they are old enough to not need the attatchment of boobs (trantrums or not)

Old enogh is when they pull at them
, demand them or use them as peices of meat not for the real reason they are there but to treat tham as a comfort toy thing.

I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING TOLD TO F OFF WHEN EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION, IF YOU ARE TOO IMMATURE TO TAKE ON BOARD OTHERS OPINION S THEN DON'T GET INVOLVED BECAUSE NOT EVERY ONE THINKS THE WAY YOU DO!!

She sounds lovely, RM.

You're right too - one ignorant nanny won't affect me - in fact, a whole bunch of ignorant nannies won't affect me. I may not be professionally qualified(!), but I do know that breastfeeding a child isn't abuse!

Am idly wondering what the collective noun for nannies is now - like a parliament of owls, a crash of rhinos, a pride of lions, a business of ferrets...

nanny - comfort toy? pieces of meat??? ABUSE????

did you read what spidermama said abt her 3 yr old bf?? it's lower down, take a look. that's the REALITY of extended bf, not whatever twisted thing you imagine it to be - & which, by your own admission, you've never experieced personally.
think about it.

NannyJo, I am sorry you couldn't breastfeed as long as you wanted.

But you are very ignorant in your opinions I don't think it's immature to mind quite strongly that you are likening breastfeeding to child abuse, really.

How about if I likened nannying to child abuse? That could be my opinion, couldn't it? And then shout at you for being too immature to BE ABLE TO TAKE IT! See? Bit annoying, isn't it?

Excuse me nannyjo is my talk name, i am talking to you as amother and don't you EVER try to take that away from me because i am a nanny!!

(collective noun....oooh, prob. too rude to post here, going by current heat!?)

Who's taking being a mother away from you?
