Cheers dropped you a signal

Will do when I set up age verification at home to use DM - ty!!

Any time, it’s a rolling need she says, so whenever is convenient for you would be grand, thank you!!

She can collect from you if you’re in the E2 area but I’m sure she can do Hackney too. Needs to be in good nick, no marks or holes. It means a lot to these guys if they can wear cared for clothes, but the ward has given out the very last hoodie and t shirt etc.

An absolute dream, ty pal. I cannot believe I get to have the best moment of my life happen in casual moments every day. I’m so lucky.

One day I’ll vomit out a book on how to fight the woo woo cult too.

Formula & breast milk are equal (I do not debate this, you can research yourself) but even if a study announced breast milk is magic it still wouldn’t matter because the best outcome is a baby gaining weight& parents not going mad.We need to support ALL forms of infant feeding with THAT goal in mind

Anyway, big up the Infant Feeding Alliance. They are such a tonic when you’ve been exposed to all the lies and cults around breastfeeding.

Omg I’m so glad she had that experience with bubs no.3. If we are able to have another I’ll be combi feeding from day one. Love breastfeeding but 100% of what I was told about it in classes and hospitals was a total lie. It makes me so so angry.

Like if you don’t have kids and EVERYTHING is new to you, you trust these people? Literal baby health care professionals!!! But if you can’t for whatever reason FEEDING YOUR BRAND NEW BABBY IS NO1 PRIORITY - BEFORE FORMULA WE HAD WET NURSES FFS

They made my sister feel SO BAD first 2x, she has implants but ensured they were in front or behind some chest wall so she could breast feed, but she couldn’t and they made her feel SO shit, baby no3 she shut them DOWN in the first 10 seconds

The one that drives me absolute nuts is when a lactation consultant (I’m yet to meet one that isn’t full of nonsense) tells a family to feed a newborn with a cup instead of a bottle. Cut to 4am and you’re waterboarding a newborn and of course the weight keeps dropping.

A sad pattern in my life is seeing families embark on exclusive breastfeeding with zero knowledge of the risks and their baby gets rehospitalised after a shocking amount of weight loss. Over and over but that’s deemed a “success” because a cult and a midwife scared them off feeding their child.

I say this as a breastfeeding mother: the “baby friendly hospital” approach can starve newborns and send women into breakdowns. The cult around breastfeeding and all the woo woo nonsense on social media is lethal too.
