I'd be ****ed off they wasted my BM!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be amused if someone used it by accident. But not deliberately using it knowing what it was.

Yeah that!

Your workmates sound like real douche-bags!! I'd be making one hell of a hardcore complaint!! EBM isn't off the shelf, you have to work hard to attain it, store it and deliver it to your hungry baby/infant/child. How anyone (male or female) in this day and age thinks its acceptable/humourous/not much too worry is beyond me! I'd kick them, pretty damn hard, where the sun doesn't shine. Perhaps then they might never make the mistake again.

Seriously though, a complaint is very much warranted as I see this as an act of bullying. Taking something from another (with maliciousness/immaturity) is not on. I wouldn't have it in my classroom with the kids, so having staff do it to me wouldn't be tolerated either.

Makes you wonder if any of those involved have had a partner/loved one breastfeed a child and know of the challenges some can face to be successful?? If any had i wonder if they'd have gone ahead with touching someones elses property???

On a lighter note, anyone remember that article about bfing in Mongolia? It is common for adults to drink ebm and if you express at work you have to carefully label yours so that someone else doesn't use it by accident. It's quite common for adults to happily use bm in their tea and coffee! On the other hand, I'd imagine there'd also be some to give to you from someone else if that happened.

Not to sidetrack because this is a serious issue in this case, but wouldn't it be great if adults in our society were so respectful towards bm that they would never waste it or use it as the butt of a joke?

Nickle, medela sold, for a while, an insulated bag that came with a specially shaped ice block thing - you know, the hard plastic things filled with liquid that you freeze to keep things cold in an esky... anyway they make a special little bag, with a special shaped ice thing, that sits around four bottles. That's what I used - no risk of it being in the fridge, it was always at my feet, kept nice and cold by the ice block thing.

Its quite compact, fitted in my bag and I never even filled four bottles at work but it was useful.

Not sure if they are still selling it, but it might be worth looking into.

I would be really upset over that!!!! Unless of course it was an accident then I'd laugh about it......

That's a violation really.

maybe someone tipped it out thinking it was off milk?
I know where i use to work, once a week the fridge got cleaned out and if anything in there wasnt labelled or looking good it got binned...
