Unimpressed

[verastones]

Hi all, I am a big breastfeeding fan and was so unimpressed with the breastfeeding experience news article that I had to join and say something.

It is so negative, Is it just me?

Sorry not sure which article you mean?

[bikemad]

Which one do you mean? Have to say most if not almost all joiners are impressed by all the articles so sorry you feel this way.

wish someone knew I am dying to read it now

Hello vera and welcome.

Do you mean the "breast club" article? This is one persons personal view of what it was like for her, and I think the point is she felt like a "milking machine" at the beginning - and she had to make an effort to adjust her attitude for the benefit of her baby.

[Azzi]

wheres that ? I was starting to wonder if it was one of the adverts or something

[Azzi]

Its ok I found it didn't even realise those articles exsisted :hysterica

:note to self:

Look round this site more , not just at the forums

I think with all the hype surrounding BF that it is easy to forget that some Mums have difficulty in doing it and they can feel like a milking machine. I feel that if you are honest about how you are feeling regarding issues about being a Mum you should be supported and given helpful advice. I to found it difficult at first, although with support from DH I managed to survive for 6 weeks. Is that all I hear some of you say - don't condem me at least I managed for 6 weeks.:party05: And I feel proud of that fact.

K8ELOU,

I agree with you totally - said much the same thing in a thread started in the Debate/Rant & Rave section about this topic.

Not sure why Vera has posted twice on this but as she hasnt been back on since I have emailed her to ask her what she had the problem with!

Sorry I am not used to using the net, the article was on the home page of www.mums.net (news) heading says 'breastfeeding experience' but all three are really bad experiences, I just thought its not balanced because lots of people have little or no problems and it would put new people off

I dont know if mums.net is anything to do with mumszone but i am pretty sure I was linked to this the mumszone site

Sorry if I have made a mistake, I take it back

Hello again, Vera.

Apology accepted! Hope you stay and have a look around here ... we are all quite friendly, really!

That site, as far as I know, is not connected to Mumszone, although they do have a link to us - which is how you got here, I think.

[verastones1]

yes thats right, I have complained to them because the article really is a pile of cr**

talks about bleeding nipples, not feeding in public and milk running out of baby's nose - and thats the one they say is positive and promotes extended breastfeeding - please complain with me, i am determined to get them to take it off, mainly because i dont want mums to read it and be put off breastfeeding

they say they will publish a positive story if I write one , so i will have a go

Im closing this thread as there are two running on exactly the same thing!
