Ladies - If you want to treat yourselves or your little monsters to something completely delicious and fattening then M&S have got some of their choccy cows from easter for 99p and the choccy tractors £1.25
I got a grown up egg for me and a cow for Chris n OH mmmmm!

Oh, and BTW, we did manage to stop the daytime feeds so thanks to the people who gave advice. Night-time might take a little longer, but that's cos I'm a lazy mare who would rather do a quick feed and get back to sleep than endure a screaming baby for hours on end!

did you read my last post? any of them actually?
i said what ever you choose is RIGHT, but wether you want to admit it or not there are some incredibly over zealous breastfeeding advocates about,
i didnt call Krystal or anyone else here a BFnazi or a busybody, i just said that they exist and we all know they do.. are you offended by my choice of words or the fact i chose to say it?

Your choice of words is appalling. I DON'T think breastfeeding nazi's exist, what has breastfeeding got to do with the holocaust? Are you comparing BFing campaigners as equal to following Hitler?

Curious_George wrote: »

just mention the words "my mother in law" round here and out come the stories of how they know best and how us mums cant get anything right, are you offended by that too? because we just laugh most of that off....

Not following you, sorryl

i guess no one is challenging me because your reading something into this that isnt there, if you want to call me antagonistic then so be it, trust me ive been called worse... but i will fight the corner of anyone who is being bullied and *I* believe those articles are merely there to scare new mums into struggling along with breastfeeding because they have been told theres no other choice.

Or because your posts are dripping with aggression and sometimes people are better off not challenged?

i suggest you calm down and read the last few pages again properly and you will see that you totally got the wrong end of the stick,
im not even going to pretend i understand your last paragraph... but if BFing was such hell... then why put yourself through it?
sorry but it sounds like you might need some help - but no doubt in suggesting that you will now add patronising to the list of names to call me :rolleyes:

I am calm thanks, and yes you are patronising, I don't need any help thank you my point is, mentioning BFing on here as a problem and you're just told 'bottles do no harm' 'it won't hurt' 'happy mum = happy baby' (tell that to all the mothers with PND) and all this crap about one formula being better than another (they are all pretty much the same) - mention anything that is actually true and you're leapt on from a great height with the guilt card.

There is not much support for actually continuing (Krystal aside) and that's what I needed - I kept it up for Elliot's sake, that doesn't make me a martyr or better than anyone else, we all decide what is best for us but you seem to relish in mocking BFing support, and natural births. You seem so angry.

And those articles aren't to scare new mums, they aren't even written FOR new mums. Does no one else really find it shocking that £20 a day is spent on promoting formula as opposed to 14p on breastfeeding? Isn't that sad? Wouldn't more women succeed with better support? I am not talking about people who choose to FF (I plan to mix-feed in the future and am happy with that decision). I am talking about mothers who WANT to breastfeed but encounter problems.

I've already polished off Tom's eggs and as many of DD's as I could sneakily eat without her noticing. Now I need to lose about two stone before we go away at the end of July!

im not personally offended by the use of the word nazi, if you are then i apologise

as far as im aware the people who post on this thread share the problems they want and ive seen nothing in the last few weeks but people helping others with answers about breastfeeding, a lot of the new mums asking for help from all of us but especially Krystal as she is a BF counsellor and they all seemed happy with the responses they got, personally i think shes been very helpful
i dont know enough about PND to tiptoe through your post deciding what im allowed to say but you just seem very bitter that nobody helped you enough, did you ask?

there are differences in formulas, some ARE better than others, ive seen the difference between one (sma gold) and another (aptamileasy digest) myself... in a matter of hours.

and where did i mock natural births? for your information i gave birth to my daughter naturally, 14 hours on nothing but gas and air, but i suppose that isnt good enough for you either?

i guess i should stop now as you are clearly reading what you want to see and ive been informed that im getting a proper slagging off over on facebook,
all in secrecy where i cant defend myself.... what a mature group we turned out to be.

I'm officially sick of the sight of Easter eggs!! But we're going to melt all the shells and make cornflake cakes . However it feels too cruel to melt M&S Lucy Lambs...so I might just have to scoff them instead! :rotfl:

I am not on the MSE facebook group, if that's what you're referring to.

I didn't have PND. I am saying that happy baby = happy mum is crap.

What do you mean not good enough for me? Don't you get it? I don't care how babies get here as long as they and their mothers are safe (and hopefully that the mothers are happy about it - whatever the method!) I don't care how babies are fed as long as their mothers are happy about it. Our children are the same age, shouldn't we be trying to get along? Why are you trying to compete with me?

On more light-hearted matters I am regretting telling everyone not to get Easter Eggs, Elliot only got two and OH I and feel we missed a trick with that

:rotfl:I got quite annoyed that people ignored my requests for no eggs but then I've gone and bought ones in the sales I think I wouldn't have minded but everyone got cadburys eggs and I'm not a big fan of them - I think next year I'll tell everyone his fave choc is malteasers and toblerone
