Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."

***Personally, I find it highly disturbing when people think that children bullying other children is either entertaining or appropriate.***


It most certainly is not appropriate for parents to allow this but kids still do it, such is life.

***I'm a virgo and know nothing about charting, so I have no idea what you were saying just there? I'd google it and try to figure it out but I slowed down reading because I was also watching a movie, and then suddenly there are 43 new posts in this thread????***


Virgos are very adept at calling like it is, they make great comedians because of that ability to analyze. A person with alot of libra in their whole chart likes to see both sides fair. You are very fair. AND you are very good at seeing it like it is too.

***I'm amazed that your children speak to you at all, then, if you determine that the ability to ask for something means that they should never get it. Do they ever say that they are hungry, or do they just assume you won't feed them now that they can ask for it?***


Oh c'mon now.

****I sure hope she's not. That's pretty childish on the part of the parent to condone and accept and encourage that type of behaviour...


*eyeroll****


Eyeroll right back at you for such ridiculous notions.

No, a "sweeping generalization" would have been: "No 10-month-old could ever be capable of changing his own diaper". I'm sorry if you're unable to see the difference between an expression of my own idea about the statement you made, and a "sweeping generalization" about it.

That's great, but I believe they are both a very rare exception. I do not see how the average 10-month-old would be adept at properly changing her own diaper, including cleaning herself of all bodily waste products, properly disposing of the dirty diaper, and applying a clean diaper afterward.

<<<***How many older nursing children have you actually seen?***

see my former posts on that topic>>>

You mean your story about the 3-YO nursing at the bank? That was one example, and I believe people agreed that it was a bit strange. How about other kids? Do you know *personally* any other kids who were nursed past an age that YOU consider to be appropriate?

***I don't have any issues with a child telling their mother that they are hungry and being breastfed. The problem lies in the ways some toddlers ask their mother. There are some that ask for the breast (for the moms that choose to teach their child technical terms) and some ask for boob or other names. Some children ask for "papa" which means food or potato in Spanish (gasp Spanish. Hope I don't offend anyone!!!!!!!!) and older children ask for it but since it means food, it changes with a child's age. I also dislike seeing a child pull down their mother's shirt at any age.***


Oh man do *I* also dislike that!! It is so hard to cut a womans hair when she cannot put her toddler down for even a second and the child pulls her shirt down
