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

**I already said that I thought it was a bad idea to nurse in the stylist's chair while hair processes are being done.**


I understood you to say you understand not nursing older kids in the chair then you stated babies should be allowed.

***How silly! Why on earth would she want to lauded for meeting the needs of her child in a biologically appropriate way?***


The same way she asked me if I wanted a standing ovation for NOT nursing school agers.

Yes, it's anecdote.

Usually when someone posts an anecdote its labeled such because it contradicts the evidence. Such as "my formula fed kid is healthier than your breastfed kid".

Truthful? Sure is. But it's anecdote. On the whole bfed kids are healthier than ffed. One counter example doesn't change the evidence.

One mom considers her EN to be regular. You called that anecdote. Where is the evidence that extend nursing causes kids to be less regular?

Assuming you have no such evidence, based on the fact that it's never been presented here, I'm thinking that your comment that the example is "anecdote" was some sort of defensive backlash.

IMO, it contributes nothing positive to the debate.

Babies get hungry at unexpected times.

Why should I let my baby be hungry just because someone has a hang-up about it?

I will feed my baby when s/he needs it, not according to where I am. I will, of course, do my best to make sure I don't put anyone out if I can but my baby will come first.

"Obviously in Thistle's mind, you should be punishing the children of other parents for bullying."
Hmm where did she say you should punish another persons child? Being an adult & stopping a situation where a child is being bullied is not inflicting punishment on anyone.

"Some people don't understand it's not their place to punish other children."

Again, please link to where anyone is suggesting that somebody punish another person's child or try to teach them right from wrong. IMO it is our moral responsibility to stop harm to the best of our ability. If I saw a gang of 4 year olds beating up another child I'd step in stop it. If it was a group of say 12 year old boys & I had my kids with me I would probably call the police.

Well as some of you love to point out, the mods say to stay on topic or posts may be deleted and the topic itself could be closed. That's "so what". You want to debate, so do 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.**

Yes because children are incapable of thinking on their own.

**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?**

Purely anecdotal and not a fact, therefore it holds no weight in this debate.

**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?**

Ooh, someone's getting a bit upset here. All it takes is for one child to see another picking on someone for any reason for them to learn. I doubt parents of bullies teach their kids to be bullies all the time. I didn't say ENing leads to negative outcomes, I said it can. If you won't read the words for what they are, why are you even here?

>>I'm learning the terms here and when to use them.<<

Yes, "learning", but you don't seem to have the concepts down yet.
