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."


According to the FDA, "a

****If you meant to say something other than how it came across, I'll take this as your concession that what you wrote, which came across to me as there being occasion to see "hundreds" of women nursing in your salon on a monthly basis, was something other than what you meant to say.****


How else DOES 'hundreds of women thru my salon every month' come accross? Not one word of nursing women in that sentance, you put that there but good try i guess(?)

LOL. I fully understood what you wrote. I read the words as they appear on my screen. If you meant something else, say that instead. I don't care if you think I'm "rude" for questioning you and attempting to get a straight answer, given how many times you've evaded people's questions in this thread alone. If you meant to say that "hundreds of customers thru salon monthly", but that only a handful of them ever attempt to nurse older children while sitting in the stylist's chair, you should have just said that in the first place.

Likewise, except that in your case, it was by your own attempt to dodge clear questions posed to you, and to backpedal over your previous exaggerations.

From what you've said about Kylie, I don't think she'll ever have it in her to tease. Not in a mean way, anyway. I can see her being mischevious but not malicious, KWIM? I think Kevin is the same way. He's very sensitive, and inquisitive, and he's been teased himself so he knows the other side of the coin (he wasn't teased because of nursing, just to be clear!).

It's the best I can do with the information you provide. ;O)

When you answer a question about how many women you have seen nursing older children by saying that hundreds of women come through your salon every month, you are implying that a significant quantity of those women are nursing older children when they are in your salon. For all I know, that number is somewhere in the hundreds as well. If you don't specify, I have no way of knowing what you mean to say, and I'll read it as I see it written.

"Pu-lease!" what? On this board, you've repeatedly asserted that children should not be allowed to continue nursing after a given point, most recently when they can verbally "ask for boobie". You've made comments to the effect that these children ought to expect their peers to "whoop" their "butts" because of the fact that they are still nursing. All I'm saying is that I hope you aren't sharing these opinions and attitudes with your children, because that would color their feelings about EN. If you've never said anything to them like what you've said here, then I admire your restraint.

<<<**But what if they did?**

Accompany you on a "coffee date" where they might be able to see an older child nursing.

I hope you are right. She does seem to love people so you are probably right. She just has a need to connect and lucky for her, she is so engaging that most people are drawn in. I was buying coffee and Kylie went to find a place to sit. As usual, I come up and there she is, fully engaged in conversation with a woman at the next table who kept telling me, she is so cute. Before the lady left, Kylie said see you tomorrow. The lady said, I hope so...and Kylie said, maybe you can come to our house for a party...the lady laughed and I said, you are not the first one she has invited...

OT I know, but sometimes she kills me! She has talked to old people, young people, people of all colours and sizes...people muttering to themselves and construction workers...people mowing their lawns and people cutting branches in their yards...she wants to know if she can help...she has taken hands and helped babies who are learning to walk and have fallen...

I often wonder if it was anything I did or encouraged...if so...good for me...but I think it is good for her...all I know is that I will always answer her enquiries leaving judgement out so that she continues to love the world and all the people in it...same, different...we all have something I believe to teach others...to give.

She makes me cry...I am such a soft touch!

I'm allowed my opinion and you are allowed to debate it. Why would I care if you don't agree with it? I'm not the only one here who thinks
