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

You mean your mom didn't use the "I wiped your butt when you were a baby" comment on you? Mine did constantly! At least I knew that part was coming. In fact, I thought that was all babies did. Turns out I was right.

***I think it's a mixture of parents who can't tell their child no for whatever reason and not having fed the child before they went out. Parents who bottle feed can do that. I wonder why parents who breastfeed seem to have more trouble doing that.**


because they want to feed on demand for the most part. I bf-ed

Wow, I had no idea that 10 months old is considered an "old kid." I would think, say, 9 or 10 years old would be an "old kid."

So what?

Is that happening to somebody here? Quick, RAV it!

<<>>

Only if somebody tells them that they should feel that way about kids who nurse. They won't come up with it all on their own without help.

<<>>

"Factual evidence"? LOL. You mean, beyond the fact that I'm nursing a child who is almost 4, and doesn't get "picked on by others" for it? My child is living proof of the fact that older kids who nurse are typically well-adjusted, normal, "regular" (to borrow a word) in every way. That's all the evidence I need, and it's more than enough to tell me that continuing to nurse my younger child for at least as long is a very good idea.

But while we're on the topic, how about YOU presenting some "factual evidence" that nursing older kids leads to such negative outcomes as have been hypothesized here? I'm sure stories about "butt-whoopings" will be forthcoming, but I stand by my assertion that those would occur because of biases and prejudices passed onto children by their *parents* and other people of influence in their lives, not because the kids decided all by themselves that there was something worthy of physical assault in their still-nursing playmates.

And you'll never see me in your salon again! Nor any of my nursing friends, who will hear about it post-haste. Done, and done!

Hold your breath now.>>>

What was that about sarcasm in your previous post? You might think about debating the topic, like the rest of us are doing.

***Please explain this to me. If most of your friends' kids are EN, then who is it that is bullying these children in the sandbox? You cited, not too many posts ago, the children bullying the EN'ers for wanting to nurse instead of play. But if the majority of them are EN, then how/why is the majority bullying other members of the majority for not being members of the minority?***


They don't all know eachother. They are not all together.

I said no such thing, and I'll thank you to stop putting words in my mouth, or in my mind, for that matter.
