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

Your post made me laugh. Do you really think someone telling a shop worker "I will never come here again" really bothers anyone? I can't tell you how many customers I have had to deal with that have told me "I'm going to shop at your competitor and I'm telling everyone to come with me" and guess who was back the next week? But really, people saying that is so funny.

How else could busy-stepmom prove it to you? You are saying you won't believe her regardless, pretty much, so there is no convincing you. I'm just adding a smile to some people's faces. I mean hey, I smiled when I wrote it. Made me think of a child based Law & Order.

My sincere apologies. I did put the wrong name in there. I'll edit my post immediately.

**The post you're replying to was completely tongue-in-cheek. You know, facetious...a joke.**

To use your words... "So what."

I should clarify, if my child is pushing around another kid and the victim's mother tells my child to stop, I'll ask what happened and woe is my child if I find out they are bullying someone. I was referring to physical punishment. That's my right and responsibility to dish out as I see fit, not that I'd ever spank.

When I worked in retail(back in the late 90s) we were told that an unhappy customer tells on average 40 people about their bad experience, a happy customer 3. Especially in these bad economic times it wouldn't be very wise to alienate a customer base. Now YMMV- Busy step mom sounds like she has a thriving business & can afford to turn customers away- most business are not so lucky.

You know, if one of my children grew up to think they had to behave according to what other people might bully them for, I'd feel like I had done something wrong.

I was bullied as a child at school but I refused to change who I was, who I still am. I love the person I am and no insecure peer would change that.

Nobody should change themselves because they're bullied, unless it is to learn to have enough confidence in themselves to stand up to those bullies. I did that and I stopped it. I even went on to stop it happening to other people.

Nobody deserves to be bullied. The bully is in the wrong and the victim shouldn't be pressured to change themselves because of those bullies.

**Trust me, I know exactly where the RAV button is, and I use it plenty**

No one doubts that.

**The facts are plain: my child is nearly 4, he still nurses, and he isn't bullied for it and never has been. What more do you need?**

Question: What if your child is bullied later on?

The difference is that I wasn't attacking anybody else with the comment preceding it when I said the above. I'm sorry you can't see the difference.

Touche!

I did not. I said that a baby who needs to nurse IN THE SALON should be allowed to do so, even if it's Mom's "turn" to have her hair done. I did NOT say the baby should be allowed to nurse IN THE CHAIR.
