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."

"I didn't imply all any more than anyone else did with the statements in the first place."
"The crux of it seems to me to be that many BF moms think that FF moms choose formula because they are just not as informed/intelligent/caring as they are."
I don't see anything there that would indicate you *don't* mean ALL ff moms.
"There are women who hate bfing to a point that they do take it out on their children (my sil....also a crappy mom for a myriad of other reasons...grrr)...so in cases like this ffing would make her a better mom.."
I'm about 100 posts behind, so I'm sure someone has addressed this, but I'll tackle it too.
If a mother is at THAT point, she has something ELSE going on in her life than just the decision to bf vs ff. Let's be honest; regardless of how you feed your child, you still have to parent that child, care for that child AND feed your child. I cannot see bf vs ff as the catalyst here. At any rate, a mom who is taking out her resentment on her child needs HELP. And if she does not get help, what will she do when the next thing comes across her path that she hates doing; homework perhaps?
Maybe formula got her through that time because she "hates breastfeeding", but the REAL problem is still there.

"Noone says "lack of breastmilk increases risks" they say that formula increases risk. It's inaccurate."
Who is "noone", exactly? I would say either could be accurate, depending on the disease of illness; is some cases both.
