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."

I don't know the argument breastmilk decreases health risks compared to "everything else" seems a little vague to me.

>>Any reason you chose to quote part of my sentence and cut out the rest?<<
Don't know what sentence you're referring to.

>>The AAP isn't exactly my favorite organization, forgive me if I don't take the "they said so" as proof.<<
Got it. If all the health organization agree with the AAP, and the AAP is not your favorite organization, then they must all be wrong.

If you want to talk about comparable risks, please find one of the many threads I've started on the topic.

Ahhh... care to say why? I mean, if you don't understand chemistry, just say so. The pediatrician in the article demonstrated that she clearly doesn't, either that or she cares more about proving a point than being accurate.

I just said that the most important thing is that our children are fed and loved. It just gets me a bit peeved when I have to hear over and over about all of the bad things that I am giving my daughter. I understand that this is a debate board, but I only read this debate because I had wanted to see how others felt about the photos in question, and really didn't want to hear a bunch of bf rhetoric. Am I bitter I can't bf, yes I am...but it is not even a remote option for me...so yes these things do make me feel a bit bad. I know that is my problem, but I feel that none of it was germane to the main topic.

Are you saying that sucrose and lactose perform the same in the baby's body?

>>who gets to decide what is discreet...the server at Applebees, the security guard at the mall, another mother or the bfing mom herself? <<

Didn't see this post earlier. These are my thoughts on the discretion thing. Who gets to make the call? I truly believe that although it may not always work out smoothly, the nursing mother herself has to maintain the authority to decide the level of discretion.

I prefer the term "grieving", you are grieving the loss of the breastfeeding relationship that you deserved. And yes, it's a big deal, with all kinds of emotions swirling. I hear that the Breastfeeding/LC board is a good place to vent, but I'm glad you dropped by here first. We're always looking for new perspectives.

>>I know that is my problem, but I feel that none of it was germane to the main topic. <<
I see your point I think, but all threads here are about BF/FF and the ingredients of formula factor into the debate, sorry you were side swiped.
