I get what your saying but I think it’s hard to not of heard of the “breast is best “ concept xxI'm not one to defend Hinch by any means, but I didn't know how big the debate was until I was pregnant with my first. Not everyone can know if it's something they've never thought about. Unless pregnant, why would you give breastfeeding or car seats another thought? It is a learning curve. However, she should be able to do as she pleases with her own child. I didn't breast feed purely through choice, and my son was forward facing as soon as he was tall and heavy enough. Why? Because he's my kid and I'll do what I see is ok for him.
I really don't get this whole sanctimommy attitude. Maybe people should spend their time worrying about their own kids they have parental responsibility for rather than other peoples
Ever thought that it’s not an excuse? That is miseducation? Lack of support?Im really pro breastfeeding - fed my daughter until she was 2 and 13 months in with my son. What no one really tells you is the total exhaustion you will suffer feeding a new born baby every 2 hours around the clock. What I find really frustrating is the number of women I’ve met who seemingly just use “I didn’t produce enough milk” as an excuse. It’s supply and demand - the more you feed/express the more milk you make. Honestly in real life I’ve not even met a single mum who has actually been honest and has said I just didn’t want to breast feed as it’s always veiled with an excuse.
I find your comment a bit tit really, we’ve all been there feeding our babies all night, some of us found it harder than others.Im really pro breastfeeding - fed my daughter until she was 2 and 13 months in with my son.

You are out of line. Some of us actually DIDNT produce enough milk. It’s not excuse.Im really pro breastfeeding - fed my daughter until she was 2 and 13 months in with my son.

This Is so ignorant a child will go to the breast for countless reasons aside from thirst. My child had teeth from 4 months and a cup at 6 months with solids so you think what - time to give him the breastmilk of a cow Instead? WHO and NHS recommending breastfeeding until 2 years and beyond.Sorry but we are all entitled to our opinions. Each to their own - but if the Child can drink from a cup and has teeth then it doesnt need the Breast lol. And its a change from the breast is best brigade guilting Mums who decide to bottle feed for whatever reason
"ignorant" or not, Hun. Its my opinion, to which I am entitled without a boring lecture from you. Perhaps Mumsnet would suit you better?? Off you toddle now xxThis Is so ignorant a child will go to the breast for countless reasons aside from thirst.

The lack of support in the UK and western world for breastfeeding mums is horrific when it IS what is BEST for baby.
It baffles me to think of bringing a child into this world and not wanting to give them the best start. Give them immunity from thousands of viruses and bacteria. Help them through any bugs they do pick up quicker with comfort the way nature intended. Why would you say no to this and shove a piece of plastic in their mouth instead?
How much money could our NHS save if more women breastfed- lower rates of Ovarian cancer, breast cancer , osteoporosis for mum, lower risk of childhood obesity , mental health problems for children, lower risk of SIDS .... I just can't comprehend why people don't give it a shot. Or is this information not widely known?
My heart aches for those who tried and couldn't for various reasons. However something like less than 5% of women are not able to produce enough milk. More often than not is lack of support/knowledge/pressure from family that means we have so many mums giving up. We need a huge shift in attitudes in this society , formula shouldn't be the go to or the norm.
So it's your opinion that as soon as a baby gets teeth it's primary and the best source of nutrition on this planet for him should be removed and replaced with a below par alternative??"ignorant" or not, Hun. Its my opinion, to which I am entitled without a boring lecture from you. Perhaps Mumsnet would suit you better?? Off you toddle now xx
You are of course entitled to your own opinion but this one is probably best kept to yourself, it's embarrassing."ignorant" or not, Hun. Its my opinion, to which I am entitled without a boring lecture from you. Perhaps Mumsnet would suit you better?? Off you toddle now xx
Bore off Hun xxSo it's your opinion that as soon as a baby gets teeth it's primary and the best source of nutrition on this planet for him should be removed and replaced with a below par alternative??
Educate yourself.

And its quite embarassing that you lecture anyone whose opinion differs from your own too. I bet you are feeding more to suit your own needs than the childs. Do you believe in co sleeping till the child is 14 too?.So it's your opinion that as soon as a baby gets teeth it's primary and the best source of nutrition on this planet for him should be removed and replaced with a below par alternative??

I don't "lecture"just because I have a different opinion , I'm stating facts and expressing misunderstanding at why people don't chose to give babies the best.Bore off Hun xx

Well when you have raised 4 happy healthy Kids to Adulthood , please come back to me and tell me how to do it correctly Dear. You cant teach your Granny to suck eggsI don't "lecture"just because I have a different opinion , I'm stating facts and expressing misunderstanding at why people don't chose to give babies the best.
And horror at opinions like yours which are damaging.
My needs are certainly not being met - no sleep or time to myself, but it is a worthy sacrifice to give my baby the best start. His needs come first.
