Am I the only one to be a bit sad that Mumsnet have caved in?

[oliveoil]

Don't know, just feel a bit that some people felt it necessary to report mumsnet to a baby milk board or whatever it is for a so called breach of advertising. If you use and love a website why on earth would you want to get them into trouble?

Hmmmmm. I bet they feel like they have been beaten up this week. Storm in a teacup.

V weird.

NOpe, just scaley old me I@m rather fond of Hugh. It was one of the names Iwould have missed dearly had the changes been taken away.

Advertising wouldn't have helped you there though, Chandra. Only working through the list of ingredients with a trained medical professions would.

oh good are they keeping the name changes then I want to be alan, might go and change now.....

I feel at home now do you want to see my Daily Sport Calendar in the cab?

Er, we're women, Alan. We leave the perving over Daily Sport calendars to the poor, sad chaps who just can't help themselves, poor loves.

God it's my dad

yes Emma and I have told you this mumsnet time needs to shorten

I wish mumsnet would cave in...because my house will do soon under the mess and the only way to get me off here is to shut it down!!!

PMSL who is that ???????

What trained madical professional Soupy? a HV who doesn't know what's she talking about or the paediatrician who asked me not to quote her when recommended me to steer away of Cow&Gate?

I know who Alan is. So would the rest of you if you were paying attention

it is your father emma and i will be round in half an hour to see your house isnt the pigsty it was a few days ago.......

medical, even

Ah ha, now i know it's not him, he hasn't been to my house in weeks cos he's knows i have jobs for him to do

I think they all asleep hunker

I know who Alan is. I was paying attention!

Chandra, are you saying that if freely advertising infant formula was legal, it would be easier to choose a formula for a baby?

Alan

I knew it wasn't him really, he'll be napping now, like he does all day LOL

hunmkermunker - maybe

I know too ..and some carry on regardless of this madness!!!

its not as though it was a bloody secret

No Hunkermunker, I'm just saying that if you were not able to breastfeed for medical reasons related to intolerances you would be more likely to find/access information about what ingredients may end up being causing more distress to your baby before trying them if there was more information about the components available. Just that.

I totally agree, Chandra. But the companies themselves can't be the ones to provide that - wouldn't be unbiased.
