Do FFers know this risk?
| Sat, 07-18-2009 - 4:15pm |
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

***Having worked in salons in the past, I just want to point out that it could be dangerous for a client to be allowed to nurse a child while she's getting her hair cut/colored/permed, whatever. I would also think it would be more dangerous if it were a fidgety toddler. ***
Thank you very much, one won't understand it unless they are the ones doing the stylists job.
***I think nursing in the salon is one thing but nursing WHILE being tended to by a stylist is just a bad idea.***
Very bad!

When did I (or anyone else) say that you weren't allowed to have an opinion? Nobody ever did. I also never said anything about whether you should care if I agree with you or not. But you did come here and announce to a group of women that includes EN'ers that they shouldn't be doing it after a very arbitrary point, and you insinuated that their children were fair game for "butt-whooping" because of it. Surely you didn't expect everyone here to give you a standing ovation for your righteous statements? What you said was quite insulting to many of us. I don't care so much that you hold the opinions, I care that you're spouting them with virtually no basis in fact, and certainly no experience under your belt as an EN'er yourself.

Not sure. I'm also doubtful that this is the only place you've ever expressed your dislike of EN, given your vehemence about it. If you've never said one word about it anywhere but on this board, either verbally or in writing...fine, then.
<<<(I also have to say, I would not patronize a salon in which the hair stylist would tell me I had a choice to get a haircut or feed my child. That, IMHO, is not a very good way to treat one's customers.)>>>
Hear, hear. Who needs that kind of rudeness? It can't be the only salon in town, and I'll find a friendlier one to give my business to.
Yeah, you definitely have a point.
It's been a while since I've had my hair done in a salon (my stylist comes to my house--no overhead on his part!), but in thinking about the logistics of it, I can't imagine why anyone would WANT to nurse in the stylists chair (sorry Amanda!). I mean, if you're already there and the baby (emphasis on baby) gets hungry, maybe that's one thing. But you've got this big plastic cape tied around your neck that drapes down to the floor! I cannot imagine an older child wanting to sit under there and nurse.
***I'm not "try" anything. But thanks for repeatedly accusing me of doing underhanded things.***
yes me too.
what did I exaggerate again?
Ooh, lucky! It'd be so nice to have my stylist come to me although I do have to say, it's nice to take a Saturday and leave DH home with the kid so I can get out and talk shop with my girl, lol. :)
Yeah, I've seen people 'want' to do all kinds of things while they're getting their hair done. If they HAVE to nurse an infant because it's time--well, I can understand that but a toddler? Maybe unless they fell and hurt themselves and needed to be comforted, however, that brings me to another peeve and that's kids running around unattended in a salon. ;)
Oh yeah, and polite, professional behavior is a must.
<<>>
Exactly. That's what I'm objecting to. I totally get that there are safety issues, and if a woman is actually trying to nurse *while* the haircut/perm/coloring is going on, it's one thing. But if the child needed to nurse in between processes, or before the styling session began, it would be really bad form to tell her she couldn't do it because "time's a-tickin'". Fine, but there goes your tip... ;O)

Oh. Well I have been insulted many times here, oh well, I was told this place is not for the faint of heart and that it can get rough when someones opinions don't match. It has not been a secret from day one that i think old kids still suckling is ick.
Surely YOU do not want a standing ovation for en-ing?

Oh, good. Then perhaps you'll stop bickering with us and just answer the questions we ask you!

All kinds of things.

Yet I did, and I wasn't the only one, from reading others' posts. For example from BSM's post:
"Just don't introduce him to my friends kid then, lest he get his butt whooped......(I mean this nicely of course) there is a pecking order for kids to go thru in life and , well you know."
So we should automatically be expected to protect our children from the bullies of others? It seems BSM certainly isn't going to stop them from beating up other children if she sees it.
