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 got what you meant the first time but I got sidetracked. ;-) I actually do feel like I'm

Why wouldn't it matter? It changes the meaning considerably.

That is pretty judgemental on your part of her parenting styles (normally I do not jump in here however, I felt I had to).
If you want her to understand why the tags are put up because of the pride that breastfeeding mothers have and that she should at least understand, then you should know that some of hr parenting styles are what she takes pride in. My family has done some CIO it themselves. I certainly tried modified CIO myself and found that it realloy worked for us. Kylie needed her sleep and did not always know it and even now needs to sometimes get some whinning out of her system before she sleeps (she is 2 though, and whinning is their game).
I just think that sometimes this board does judge certain parenting styles (giving moojuice, CIO, co-sleeping, circumcision), and I think we should remember (in my opinion) that some other types of parenting styles is often based on the child, and the needs of the parent and blamket statements should not be made.

Steph, out of curiousity (absolutely NO judgement here), why did you have to FF Vincent?

But I think it even goes beyond this and increases risk because of some of what it contains too. Aside from the article I re-posted about the some of the questionable ingredients, babies' guts are not designed to digest the major components that make up formula (milk solids, etc.). It's this that causes the increase risk of things like diabetes, because too many things that aren't meant to be there are causing digestive problems.
Milk solids and corn syrup and soy proteins aren't harmful in and of themselves for people with mature guts. But for newborns with immature, permeable guts, it's a whole different ballgame. So formula INCREASES risk in these infants because it's not the food they were designed to digest.>>>
I guess I should say, formula increases risks because of what it's NOT. It's not complete, it's not easily digestible, it's not in the correct form for infants to process... it's simply inappropriate nutrition for infants. Appropriate nutrition, food that contains all the necessary ingredients babies are designed to have in their proper forms that babies are designed to process, should be used whenever possible.
I think you have good points, Spud.

I'm down with that interpretation.

Donor milk while the idea of it sounds good really is not a reasonable alternative.
For many, it is.
