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."

"I don't think the tag is really about "changing your mind". It's not about you at all, really, not to convert you into a breastfeeder. From what I can tell, it's about supporting each other and maybe changing people's perception of what's normal."


"It promotes/supports bf.

"Did you even read your own link? It illustrates exactly what Pattie stated.


Go back through the archives to see what TPTB say about the use of the term on this board (or anywhere on IV for that matter). It's derrogatory, inflamatory and offensive. Using *** in place of letters doesn't change it's use."


What is your point? She told me not to use the term(BTW, it was used without problems in the "Admit" thread)I posted the definition of the term, and thought that in itself proved my point. I am not very fond of the N word myself, but sometimes it suits.

If the intent was to change people's perception of what is normal, it has failed.


You love to make huge blanket statements that make me say "Well, how the h*** do you know?".

Does this mean you are equally vigilant for your toddler/preschooler/gradeschooler? Because they are equally unable to weigh their options and choose what is good for them.


Pretty much, yes.

"So you would agree that the more someone hears/sees something the more socially acceptable it becomes?

I thought this statement from Health Cananda was pretty clear:

>>Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of life for healthy term infants, as breast milk is the best food for optimal growth. Infants should be introduced to nutrient-rich, solid foods with particular attention to iron at six months with continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond. <<

Thanks for addressing her link, Cathie. I wanted to say something similar, but iV deleted her post before I got a chance to reply. I'm not really surprised that happened...
