Dear MN Towers re bottle feeding/breast feeding.....

Is there any way there could be a topic for each? Because I really do think that half the rucks on here start because the two are lumped together, and really they have nothing to do with each other.... FF who get upset about BFing threads could then hide the whole topic and vice versa.

Anyone agree? Or not - without starting a FF v BF debate?

Hi everyone.

You've all raised some seriously good points and we promise to take them all on board and have a proper discussion about this once everyone at MNHQ is back after the Christmas break (yes, some of them are still away )

In the meantime, however, I thought I'd say that we have considered this a few times before and have always come down against splitting the topic - for pretty much the reasons hunkermunker just outlined.

Hi all,

We've discussed the suggestion about splitting the breast/bottlefeeding section into two separate topics.

And the MNHQ consensus was that they should stay together.

We think that the 'ruck' potential is outweighed by the fact that, this way, posters can gain useful information that they might otherwise not see (whether that's about breastfeeding or bottlefeeding or a combination of both).

And LadyMuck, we'll give your disclaimer idea some thought - even though y'all gave us such flack about the AIBU disclaimer the other day!
