Posting photos of nursing babies online
| Wed, 09-05-2007 - 10:52am |
On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.
As "Linda Richmond" (aka Mike Myers) from SNL would say, "talk amongst yourselves."

CL, Breast vs. Bottle Debate

I am one of the proud bfing moms in the photo tag and I too am still breastfeeding my sweet little boy at almost 8 months and counting. :)
It's just that IME, iVillage is not "for mothers", or even "for women." It may be marketed that way, but I have found a pretty diverse set of people hang out here.
I mean, this site is advertised on the Today Show for goodness sake.
>>I'm a huge fan of sarcasm. <<
Yeah, me too. But the greater powers on iVillage have banned sarcasm from this board claiming that it can never be respectful.
What happened to that thread?
Edited to add:
The statement on sarcasm is in the "about this board" folder
>>Sarcasm should never be used in a mature and respectful debate.<<

>>...I also don't like when people tell FF mothers that they are...bad mothers.<<
Did someone say that FFers are bad mothers on this thread? Maybe in the deleted threads? Because I haven't yet seen "bad mother" comments on this debate board. But I think at some point a nickel was supposed to change hands every time someone says it happens...
>>I also don't like when people tell FF mothers that they are doing harm to their children...<<
Huh? You mean when people say FF is risky? If you don't "like it" why would you participate in the debate? The fact that not breastfeeding is risky is a large part of why breastfeeding is recommended by all health organizations. Maybe I just don't understand your comment - still trying to keep up with the thread...
