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

Lol I'm glad you got what I was trying to say. I read that and thought huh??? I edited my post to talk about any child being bullied being a negative outcome not the child themselves.

I did want to say, though, that not all positive actions have positive outcomes. A child breastfeeding is a good thing, but they can be bullied for it which is a negative outcome. Not because they did something good but because someone bad judged them badly.

I agree. And I feel it's better to turn away and lose one customer than try to cater to one customer's excessive needs and lose the rest of the customers for the day.

**But turning them away because they are nursing or ENing, in or out of the chair, is discriminiation and protected in most places these days.**

Actually, that is protecting the client, their child and the stylists business. It is a true danger to have your hair cut or styled while holding a child because of what is being sprayed on the hair, the scissors, the blow dryer, the checmicals from coloring hair, the slivers of hair falling, etc. If a mother got upset that the stylist didn't want them nursing in the chair, then the mother is thinking only of herself while the stylist is also considering themselves, but the safety of all parties involved. The mother should actually be thankful someone is thinking of the safety of their baby.

**Since the "alot" and "many" and "hundereds" have been clarified to single cases, perhaps not.**

Do you really expect anyone to give hundreds of examples to satisfy doubt? I think you're reaching for this one.

**Although I think everyone will agree that it's possible, has it really been established that it's likely?**

I don't know that it was said that it was likely, but I think there are people on this topic that don't even believe it's possible.

**Are there any other reasons why being able to talk should make it inappropriate?**

It wasn't the "being able to talk" that made it wrong. I think it lies in how they ask. At least for me. But there's no point in arguing my reasons anymore because I won't change my mind.

**Walking was brought up earlier. What is it about walking that makes nursing inappropriate?**

Walking has nothing to do with it. People just tend to say "walking and talking" together.

Odd that I had no trouble understanding the situations she was talking about.

Formula feeders aren't allowed to generalize. Remember, someone was asking if the boards allow the formula accepting posts to stay up because they get money from formula companies?

I don't think you understood what I was saying so I am done trying to explain it in a way you won't "assume".

But since I'm stubborn, I will try this again.

Extended breastfeeding is a positive action that can result in a negative outcome if the child encounters a bully that feels it is something only "babies do. Breastfeeding, itself, is not a negative action, but life will teach us that not all positive actions in life result in positive outcomes.

That's understandable. Do you have links to those "hateful" and "inflammatory" posts? I may have overlooked them. But you might want to specify that so you don't sound like you think all formula sided posts should be pulled because they are for formula feeding. It was easy to misunderstand.
