my friends ds was fed breastmilk at school !!!

[mummyof2bunnies]

My friend came round today in a bit of a state, she was asking her ds7 what he had done at school today and he replied that so and so's mum came in to class today and was telling them all about her new baby and brought baby food for them to try, and that they got to try breastmilk on teaspoons and breastmilk mixed in baby food now i am no prude i breastfed both my dds but i would be horrified if my dd came home and told me this. Friend was completely horrified as well is going to speak to the head 2mrw the mum in Q was a former classroom assistant at the school b4 she had her baby and my friends ds said she was the only one in class and the teacher was not there when they where trying the foods . I am sure this has to be wrong on so many levels i'm trying to look at it from another point of view but all i feel is anger that she did this can anyone else share their feelings on this....

if i was arranging it i would have mum and teacher plan what would happen in the visit

mum says and i could give them breast milk to taste

teacher

well maybe that wouldnt work/be necessary/require a risk assessment

plans made together

visit together

maybe parents inviterd in too

Desi, whatever.

You think you've fashioned a neat little fabulous scenario out of logic and I think you're gurgling about drinking piss somewhat incoherently.

We'll agree to differ, I think. Not helping matters at all.

And I don't feel one way or the other about you - so quit with the poor me stuff - although I'm not keen on the evangelist sniping, it has to be said.

Did they all use the same spoon?

I wouldn't want my child to eat anything that came out of someone elses body, whether it be milk, piss, blood....

Desdirata - I am a offended that you are comparing my breast milk to shit or piss

god des you sound like such a petulant little teenager sometimes. 'you just dont like me' purlease.

why is it more 'wrapped in own little world' to think bm is nice/harmless than it is to proclaim it 'weird and hippy' and on a par with shit and piss?

youre too intelligent not to see youre talking shit, surely?

if i had a baby who would benefit from breast milk from a milk bank i would be grateful for it

but thats not quite the same thing

a bit like i would have a blood transfusion but i wouldnt be doing a blood brothers thing with my boss at work

yeah, cause youd have to cut yourself and thats weird

I am very dubious that this happened in this way.

schools are very keen to get parental consent for everything. This just wouldn't have happened imo.

If consent had been sought and given however, then provided all the h&s had been met in principle I wouldn't have an issue with it.

Tis different to other bodily fluids though because it is designed to be consumed unlike piss or shit.

i do love hypothetical situations of course no chance this sdie of hell freezing over of me having a baby/boss/work

It's breastmilk.

It's really unlikely that the woman had any kind of communicable disease.

Notwithstanding, it was a bad idea to do it because parents need to consent to this sort of stuff.

And they didn't.

So the school needs to know it happened and doubtless they'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

But I really don't think there'll be a wave of copycat bmilk-pushers coming soon to a school near you. This was a one-off, people. Relax.

i didnt squeeze myself a glass or anything, but havent you ever been curious as to what it tastes like? i tasted mine [shrugs]

boyz are you someone else? have you changeed your name recently?

Oh, dear, dear. You're almost boring me now.

I am not comparing breast milk to shit or piss. I am saying that if a school deems it OK for children to eat someone elses breast milk, then it must be OK for them to eat someone elses shit or piss ... since all are natural by-products.

To my detractors, I would ask you this question. Would you be happy if your seven year old son came home from school and said that he'd drunk breast milk?

I wouldn't be. And you can shout as much as you like, but the woman who offered it up is a fecking loon.

oh i am horizontal hunker

i dont even have kids as you know

well if they have been secretly tapping a supply of breastmilk i really dont want to know

but des, what you are saying is illogical.

"im not saying its like piss, but its like piss, innit. " (to paraphrase) nonsensical. ridiculous. somewhat wrapped up in your own little world, id say.

yeah slur, i was mostly nappiesgalore

Remind me, Desi, how are you NOT likening breastmilk to shit or piss?

You do realise there's a difference between food and waste products, no?

But I do think offering one's milk to someone else's child might be a bit weird (& ok miniscule risk of transmittable diseases) - but not even on the same planet as suggesting feeding a child piss or shit.

Deeply peculiar analogy.

i do love these crazy arguments

nah not a natural by product its designed to be consumed unlike waste products like piss or shit.

so not ok to eat shit, odd to consume random strangers bm but not in same league as the shit eating.

I get that it weird thing to do in a classroom and don't think anyone thinks it was best plan wiothout parental consent.

just not the same as eating someone's shit s'all

can i do a bizarre analogy please one has just popped unbidden into my head

would you prefer to have sex whil having a period or your 7 year old have random womans breastmilk of teaspoon in school

well i could clean my teeth mum

but i may refuse to actually switch my laptop off yet
