10 things breastfeeding advocates should stop saying

MN - one of the points of the article is people say breast is best. That doesnt happen here and as a whole, its happening less, and the ABA actively dont use that phrasing and educate as to why they dont.

Kelly, you seem to have interpreted this as a direct post at yourself, or the site, which I didn't, don't know about anyone else. I thought the original post was a pretty good summary of how women who ff may view the way bf is portrayed by society in general, not just you or your site.

Hmm, ok.


haha Fair call N2l!

There are numerous posts where people have said they see all those things here all the time.

I've made this group visible to unregistered/unlogged in people also. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to ask, thats what we're here for. Ideally in the suggestions thread as we dont always read everything, or continue to read threads.

Thank you Kelly

OK, see I interpreted that to be the site members posting such comments in threads and not you specifically.

We try to make sure people post fairly and along the same lines. I don't see these things here much anymore, but then I can't read everything and we have so many posts it is hard to keep up. I do believe though people here genuinely want to help.

Even if they don't, then we can gently respond, without launching into attack and anger, to help them understand others and where they are coming from. This thread is obviously going to help explain the other side to them. That way there will be kindness and understanding without bitterness and anger, and any divide occurring.

Anyways, all sorted.

That's exactly why I posted it.

Breastfeeders may not read the formula threads.

exactly
i would never have even looked at this thread as I dont use formula, and i was obilivious to the fact that people have a go at mothers who FF rather than b/feed!!! Its no ones business except theirs and although i do have opinions, I ensure that my opinions reflect my choices, no body elses!!!

glad this topic has stayed nice!!!! LOL
