There you are making assumptions again.
Pot.kettle.black.
Good day to you!
Depending on position and age of child breastfeeding generally leaves me with one free hand to use my phone, which is obviously the main reason I choose to continue
OMG are you STILL talking??Hahahahaha Down with that sort of thing!!
Indeed. Seems once you have a baby your body becomes public propertyI have four children and breastfed them all, not all for the same length of time and never for longer than a year. One thing I’ve never understood is why people are so interested in how the next woman feeds her child. None of my business and I was always too exhausted to care
I kinda agree but also she’s shared everything else so we know she’s gonna share thatIMO she should keep how she’s feeding him private. There’s no need at all to share that unless she’s making money out of it
She will find a way to make money out of anything. It’s what she does best. Let hope she labels it properlyIMO she should keep how she’s feeding him private. There’s no need at all to share that unless she’s making money out of it
It's so strange isn't it. I couldn't breastfeed with my first he wouldn't take to it at all I was devestated. Going to try with this baby and keep my fingers crossed! XYes, I would try. I obviously meant non-human milk as per the earlier sentence
LOL. Dairy is milk produced by mammals to feed their young ones. For some reason, humans feed their babies milk meant for calves
It is. Thank you! Some things are best kept on Mumsnet lolI thought this was a gossip forum, I had to lighten the vibe
There's no need to, but there's no need for most of what she does!IMO she should keep how she’s feeding him private. There’s no need at all to share that unless she’s making money out of it
Unless you have bf your kids..you're not welcomeI thought this was a gossip forum, I had to lighten the vibe
Its actually possible you would have more milk than me?!Well bully for you Hun. Its none of your business what way any mother chooses to feed her baby so why does it matter to you. And if you think motherhood is "difficult and exhausting" when they are babies - boy do you have a treat in store when they are teens and older and making their own decisions in life. These are the easy years lol.
If she is bottle feeding and in any way shape or form and promotes formula milk, she's risking having her Instagram account shut down by Instagram, it is against their policy to break the law on your account.
Exactly. My money is she’ll be basing her decision on how offers the most £££! The way she’s gone about it is so sneaky, if these followers will buy a pen because she uses it I don’t doubt for a minute they won’t use the same formula because she uses it.
that didnt answer the questionId rather not use the term adverse affects , don't want to be accused of vilifying! Rather - - benefits of breastfeeding. There are many but the most published research shows breastfed babies/adults have higher IQ, are at lower risk of many physical diseases and improved mental health. Mums health risks are also lowered with regards to many cancers and other diseases.
Google will give you all you want to find.
It’s against the law to advertise or promote formula. This means it can never be discounted as well.
Me too. My mom started giving me solids at 2 months old. That was in 1971. Apparently that was the norm back then.
Those sort of mothers are referred to as the oThere is nothing wrong with breastfeeding longer term - I only fed mine for a year, but I get the impression lots of women feed a lot longer and just don’t talk about it. It’s quite hard to get a baby off the breast, they just love it. So I can easily see some children want to carry on when they’re 4,5.
However there is a particular type of woman who seems obsessed with childbirth and breastfeeding, often stretching out the brief obsession you have when your own are tiny for many years after their children have grown up- frequently these women train as breastfeeding councillors or hypnobirthing trainers, or something centred around that birth experience. They’ll often enthusiastically longer term feed.
These are the women who you’ll see arguing on mumsnet about weaning and virgin gut theory even though their children are teenagers.
And that is exactly the type of woman who would go to the daily mirror to do a story on breastfeeding her children in the playground
Whilst I’m really grateful that these women use their obsessions to do things like train as a BF counsellor, the other end of the stick is that I do think they can cause anxiety to new mums with the ie hysterical weaning debates
Quoting myself as I didn't get a chance to finish typing.
I know in NI health visitors massively misreport the levels of breastfeeding. It says at the front of our children’s health record books that bf should still be recorded at “total” after 6 months if it is the main source of milk intake, alongside complementary foods. However many HV still circle “partial” for bf because people are obviously weaning babies on to solids at 6 months.
Absolutely, breastfeeding will not prevent lots of conditions , it's just risk lowering. Genetics/fate probably play a bigger role.
