Posting photos of nursing babies online

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."

But.. it's not the formula that increases the risk. It's the fact that it is something other than breastmilk. You have to attribute the increase/decrease of risk to the thing that is doing the work, so to speak. Oh.. IMO. :)

I posted the quote I thought she was referring to.

I never attribute things to anyone else, trust me ;)


I would never think that you do, but others have so I wanted to get it straight (to me at least, LOL) that I never said anyone was bitter.

>> She's right, she's absolutely right. There was a post that stated something like "I'd be bitter and resentful too, if I fed my baby second-rate nutrition". I don't remember who the poster was, but I remember it clearly because I distinctly thought to myself "Gee, that wasn't very helpful to the cause". <<

I can't quite remember who said it, but I definitely empathized more with her exasperation than felt she was being "unhelpful".

Okay, I need more of an explanation of this, because it didn't really make sense to me.

Yup, this thread is getting confusing because there are a whole wack of debates going on.

>>It's loaded, emotionally charged language that only has only one obvious purpose. <<

I completely disagree, so much so that I wonder what that "obvious purpose" is.

Do you feel the same way about the headlines about codeine and BF, smoking, not wearing seatbelt, not exercising?

Off to work...be back later.

I did feel it was pretty inflammatory.

How does a deleted post prove your point? We have no idea what was said in that post.
