Something to terrify the parents..

Jan 25, 2008 23:24

I have a bugbear at the moment. Something that winds me up an incredible amount. It makes me very glad that this is the current thing in my life that winds me up the most* as it means that the rest of my life is going incredibly well.

( So yeah, breastfeeding )

I realise that my personal experience with this is nil, but I do tend to agree with you on this. I've seen strict breastfeeding advocates lay into an expectant mother who had made the decision to formula feed, after discussions with her husband and her oncologist. She needed to start treatment for cancer as soon as possible after birth, or run the risk of her child not having a mother, and I can't see how that's a terrible choice. But she was ripped into, called a bad mother, told she was an awful person and accused of lying about the cancer treatment so as to have an excuse to not try and breastfeed. I've seen the same people lay into women who change the way they feed their children on the advice of doctors, because apparently you shouldn't take such advice, you should check Google and see what the internet and the breastfeeding sites say. Formula is poison, and doctors are paid to push it. Believe the internet ( ... )

Just...don't even look at them. I have, and they make me mad. I cannot imagine how you'd react.

Okay, I can. And green skin wouldn't suit you.

I'd love a one week subscription to some lists...

Most of them have open posts, also open membership I think. But don't, green will not go with your hair. Also, I would be pissed off at you if you smashed London. ;-)

You know I'll be the person with the specially modified tranquilisers in the special gun. Don't go there...

That's just horrible and uncalled for, it sounds to me that the expecting mother was taking all the right choices to go with formula.
