Anyone watching Bringing Up Baby part 3?

[themothership]

I am debating whether I should really be sitting here watching it, feel like I'm being rather complicit...

i mean it just doesn't make sense. they don't want to see a tiny glimpse of a nipple in order for a baby to breastfeed but they don't mind it being plastered on the front of magazines in the newsagents.

I lol at the talk of getting yr breasts out in public. I bf both mine in public but never once got my breast out in public, many times I was approached by people admiring my boys thinking they were just having a cuddle and they didnt realise they were bf. As 4 cv I dont know where to start, starving baby, likening them to car etc etc, She needs to be stopped. Why did her parents have kids if they just want they live back?

i can't believe they made the poor twins wake up from their nap early so they were too tired to eat

Dreena is presented as the voice of reason and the middle way so it is worse when she says things like breast feeding in public and co-sleeping are an absolute no no. I bet Dr Spock didn't say that with his follow your instincts philosophy.

Was cheering when the twins dad listed all the broken rules

Glad to see the breast feeding lady with all the pain feeding in the cafe looking all relaxed

You have to admit though that CV's method works. Baby is starved, knackered out, left to its own devices. No wonder they sleep through the night.

Emotional abuse versus a full nights sleep. I would worry about any mother who felt the latter necessitated the former.

Makes you wonder why some people bother having children. If they are going to be such an inconvenience, if all you are going to concentrate on is how quickly you can get your life back...your life minus baby of course. That poor wee soul is up in "it's" bedroom, door closed (locked?) and out of sight out of mind. God there are going to be some amount of emotionally detached kids after this.

was also very shocked at the force feeding of the twins.

i haven't watched any other episodes but have any of the parents been encouraged to dream feed?

nope

I've just e-mailed huggies about their "proud" sponsoship.

i would have thought i was more a doc spock girl but watching that would have to say I agree with CC method, apart from co sleeping. How many more shows are there of this programme??

i was just wondering cos i've never been sure if dreamfeeding is a good thing for them learning how to control their food intake. what do you think? it's not quite the same as force feeding them to get more milk down, so they start to learn to eat until its all gone as opposed to when they are full cos they aren't awake.

Third time mum here and I was very nearly in tears watching the twins being starved, then force fed and then being woken up, so too tired to sleep and then being force fed!!!

OMG!!

Sorry, haven't read all the thread, but I HATE this programme. CV only part of hte problem. I don't think any of the experts are great, the script is shockingly bad, it is shallow and clunky, it is lazy. I just fucking hate it

I think last 1 next week

nappy...I dreamfeed my DD sometimes, and she will only ever feed if she is hungry. If she doesn't want it, no amount of sticking my nipple in her face will make her take it.

As for that stupid Dreena woman saying yes do feed your baby in the toilet

After that debate I think MORE people will think that those attitudes to bf are on.

orangehead - thank god

my ds was the same. even if i tried to give him a bit more milk he would clamp his mouth shut. by the looks of this programme some babies just eat for the sake of it

in short THE CV Method

1.Have a baby
2. decide you now dont want baby and so ned to have old life back.
3. call in cold heart bitch with no idea about children as no one could make love to her as they would freeze.
4. have said CHB, starve your child, force feed it, wake it from sleep, poke it in the face, leave it outside with foxes, and try and kill it by leaving it to cry for hours one end.
5. Said baby is so tired, hungry, emotionally detatched, and sick it will do what ever you want.
6. Said baby will now sleep from 7-7 as its given up all hope of having needs met.

7. Parent now has life back and will go to the ball and cold hearted wicked witch moves on the destroy another baby's life!!

And they all lived happily ever after (apart from the child, but that doesnt matter as they are maniplative anyway)

bf in the toilet? What adult would eat they dinner in the toilet? Btw whats dream feeding?

the way the head was held to force the feed in, then it spilled out afterwards
I'm sorry that is oral rape
Same as the kids that are forced to eat when older
Disgusting
For sleep
I'd rather have bags under my eyes the size of Australia (currently only size of Madagascar) than do that

I just sat back and waited to see what ds2 wanted, I know him so well now 6 mths later, we just get along great...
it's not about co sleeping, or even breastfeeding (both of which I support thoug not co sleeping with ds2) it's about knowing and listening to your individual bab/y/ies needs and wants.

Not forcing your needs on them but letting their needs collect with yours and y'all working out something on that basis.

Now I know I did what is known as the Continum Cooncept with ds1 now 13 yrs old
I did it by instinct = high need baby.

And now he is 13 he sures sleeps well...
I'm off one one again
this programme does my head in....

dream feeding is when you feed the baby while they are still asleep to get them sleeping through a bit longer.

Some places have banned foie gras

but for babies that is ok, apparently
