But for what its worth, I do feel that if there is a problem with something I've said, its much more mature and adult to raise the problem calmly than to rant about it all over facebook, involve people that dont understand what the main issue is because they arent involved and delete me off there before I can either stick up for myself and what I believe in or explain properly what I meant.

I don't care if it isn't mature! You HURT Me. I was UPSET. I needed to vent. Other people can vent. Why can't I? Why do you need to stick up for yourself to people you don't know? Why can't I talk to other people, cos I certainly don't have friends here who I can talk to. Why not delete you? We obviously arent friends!

OMG Mrs Tine never realised you had such an awfull time no wonder you want an elective.

That seems to be something else women get judge on with the too posh to push comments. Personally if i had had an experience like yours i wouldnt want to risk natural child birth either :-)

Thank you hun - probably doesn't help that I know my mum had 2 bad births - so I have no prospect of number 2 being any easier either... And I never even made it on to the 45 mins (might have been more - was a tad groggy) it took to stitch me up with the cut AND 2nd degree tear, the fact hubby thought I was going to die from the amount of bloodloss and that they couldn't stop it... Oh it was fun! Yeah natural ALL the way baby! :rotfl:

As a contrast I know others have had totally easypeasy natural deliveries and think it was great... I just don't

I should deffo be in the super bad mummy club. Ive always used wipes and disposable nappies, always given calpol and gripe water and when i had my first child 11 yrs ago (ducks for cover before she says this) i dipped her dummy in whiskey when she was teething. I smoked through my first two pregnancies although i did give up after having DS1. I completely weaned my first two on jared food and must admit to having a few jars stashed this time round as well.
I also used to make DD & DS1 milk bottles in the morning and store them in the fridge till needed now i just make water bottles and add the powder later which apparently is just as bad.

Good god reading that lot anyone would think i hate my kids!!

snap! :rotfl:
infact does someone want to string me up now i have just given Kaden a bottle of formula so that he settles for a bit because i need to do housework, go shopping, and i need to spend some quality time with DD2.

So yes it may be convenience, yes i love my baby and want the best for him but he is not the only person in this house and i cant let everything go to pot whilst he sits and cluster feeds for the next 2-3 hours.

This way i will actually get what i need to do done so by the time DD1 gets out of school i can spend quality time with all 3 of my children including BF my baby!

but ladies, help out your fellow females here! Encourage, don't condemn.

This is what I have been thinking while reading right through this thread! Is is unbelievable how many mothers slate one another over how their babies are being fed. It is hard enough being a mother and feeling guilty/anxious/emotional/confused day in day out without others making you feel worse, we should all be helping one another!!

I b/f my wee one exclusively for 12 weeks then gave her a bottle at night until she was 7 months and then she stopped the breast feeding (which suited me-I was going back to work anyway) and at times, the b/f was hard going but I was very lucky that things generally went ok (except that last feed at night).

I remember at the time feelin anxious that I MUST breast feed, as it is rammed down your throat before you even give birth. My DH was horrified when we went into hospital to have our DD at the amount of advertising there was about breast feeding-yes we both wholly agree on it but if for some reason or other I hadn't been able to breast feed (and no NOT EVERY breast feeding issue can be solved) I would have felt awful, your emotions are all over the place as it is!

With my next one I plan on breast feeding again but if it doesn't work and I have to f/f then so be it I will not get anxious about it.

The thing is as well when you get past all the bottle/breast feeding and your wee ones are on solids, you realise (well I certainly did anyway) that it DOESN'T really matter at the end of the day how your baby is fed, as long as they are healthy and loved, surely that is the main thing!

Oh and when I decide to fall pregnant again I'd better stock up on Aptamil as that is what I used for my wee one! :D

my asda still has aptamil at £7.89

not commenting on the bf/ff debate as i gave my opinions last week when i raised a 'thought' on feeding in general. there were several posts on the parents club thread which highlighted how hard bottle feeding can be.

Mine does as well just checked the price.

* try telling a crying baby who is hungry that they have got to wait approx 35mins before they can have a feed.....

Why make him wait? Make it up in advance :shhh:

Every weekend? Choosing not to BF purely to accomodate her social life? Not because she can't... but because she thinks it's more important to go out and dance all night and get drunk? I have nothing against mums going out - but there is a difference between going out once in a while and treating a baby like a puppy that you can leave with friends and making decisions based on that for it's wellbeing.
Yes the baby will be fed and probably healthy - but mentally healthy as it grows up? If that is the mums attitude then I doubt it.
I've left DD several times to go out - usually with hubby whilst I go to committee meetings for a few hours, a couple of times so that hubby and I can go out for dinner together but I certainly didn't give up BFing because it didn't fit my social calendar. Yes formula is adequate for any baby - but if you choose not to BF because you find it icky then boy are you gonna be in for a fun ride with the poos wees and puke...

To be honest, whilst I agree with some of the points you have made in your other posts, I think it's unfair of you to judge other people and their reasons for not BFing. That makes you no better than those who are judging you for your decision to stop. I do know several people in RL who decided not to BF at all. They are still excellent mums in every other way. Whilst it is not something I understand, I would not judge or criticise them for it. If it's live and let live, then that should apply to everyone - unless someone is actually causing proper harm to their child then everyone should just get on with their own lives.
