Tik Tok is leaving MN as a result of the Milupa advertisement on the home page.

Please good MN people,see sense!
Whodo we really need more,Tik Tok or bloody Aptamil????

This board will lose so much if she goes......

C'mone ladies,add your voice!

mumtosomeone, I breast fed too for 8 mnths, this was my choice. I agree with you that anyone who bottlefeeds has a hard time on this site sometimes, being undermined. Who are we to say what others should do?? We all make a choice.

but mumtosomeone - you havent read the links and keep asking questions that would be answered if you read them.

ok..so some are against formula,saying it is not the next best thing to breast milk...what is?
simple question

no one is against formula, they are against the way the formula companies advertise. REad the other thread from mears.

mts - it's not a bottle feeding debate, it's about advertising.

read some..dont really answer.
So 1)who will tiktok upset
a)milupa
b)mumsnet
c) netters who value her advice?

marthamoo I apologise, I read your post wrong.

please give mumtosomeone a break, sounds like she's being told off for not doing her homework. Her opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

So how do people sell products if they dont advertise?

thanks SSD
I have read threads and arnt really getting the answers to the questions I am asking

mts - tiktok's not out to upset anyone. She's made a decision for herself.

mumtosomeone
A thread I have started to answer your questions. It is my last word on the subject you will all be glad to hear

I really hope I'm not being called 'dense' here

tik tok is not taking action to upset anyone, that isn't really the point. She feels she cannot be true to her self and her principles if she stays on MN.

Can't really spell it out anymore clearly than that I'm afraid

Joolstoo, I think the "dense" was directed at me.

Jools, I would never call you dense. It's the metaphorical brick wall I am banging my head against which is dense - you just posted a few seconds before me.

well its up to her.
But i feel it is a shame for the rest of the people that relay on her. Dont want to say too much as she is not here to 'defend' herself. But isnt she NOT standing up to whhat she bekieves in by walking away and not supporting those that could use her help?

Sorry Joolstoo - realised that did not look right. I am just angry and sad that I am having to consider my position on mumsnet. I never attend study days supported by formula milk companies (they suck in health professionals too).

I think the advert here is unethical and I am really torn about what to do if it stays.

Am off to hairdressers. No more from me.

thought I was the dense brickwall to be honest!!!

Please don't go mears - go to the hairdressers obviously but please come back I mean.

think I am dense..the advert/link is legal..yes?

maybe it's both of us!!

you do seem to be a tad purposefully obtuse actually, MTS, regarding tik tok's decision

ok I am a dense brick wall..what does that mean?

mts - read tiktok's post of 11.50 pm. You can't get clearer than that.

Oh blimey, I give up. No more from me.
