Breast Milk and Dairy Milk

Damn it it’s not right!
The monkey that is, breast is best go breast feeding all the way but the ape as Phill Collins was particularly good because it just looked a bit like Phill Collins, yeah I know he’s skinny and practically hairless but it moved like him and the dubbing isn’t quite right on “turn around” the first few drum beats are out of sync and BOO!!!

well my daaaarrrling as a female with lovely breasts I can tell you there is no way in hell i am breast feeding my darling children when i have them (even if it does burn stupid amounts of calories…actually maybe i’l pump?)!

I am a woman and not a vending machine my breasts help make me feel and look sexy (to myself and the male folk) and I don’t want them being stretched by a child that can either just drink the substance after it has been pumped or have formula. I know many many mothers and the children who were not breast fed are not stupid hick yokels (in fact some of them are really amazingly clever) as the major benefit that comes from breast feeding is the bonding and closeness (the majority of women who don’t breast feed often suffer with post-natal depression hence why they don’t get the bond result)!!

So to breast feed or not? its fine either way but we shouldn’t place a stigma on those who don’t choose the current vogue of feeding!!!

Ps: everything a mummy eats and drinks goes to the babys milk so maybe cadburys are trying to grab the youngsters before they can even chew!!!! hahahaha xxx

All my mates who were breast fed are tit men. I find this rather disturbing, for obvious reasons.

I wouldn’t dream of telling you what to do with your breasts Ms Coffield-Brown but I should correct you on your point that “the major benefit that comes from breast feeding is the bonding and closeness” This is simply not true and if I didn’t say that my mom would shout at me (she’s a midwife and feels very strongly about such things)

Yes, bonding and closeness are very important but the major effects of breast feeding are far more tangible, it is crucial for the immune system, not just in early years but later in life, adults who weren’t breast fed as infants suffer more autoimmune diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, they are more likely to develop allergies and consequently have shorter life expectancies. Every few weeks there is a new study suggesting still more benefits in breast feeding: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/395305.stm and a million other studies.

please don’t hit me, mark says you might…

oh bless you dylan, you little sweety I would never hit anyone!!! …That being said mark I’d like a word!!!

The thing we have to remember is that women are put under loads of pressure to breast feed making them depressed and feeling like failed women and mothers and this is turn leads to all sorts of awfulness in children! therefore contradicting all the benefits of breast milk….

basically what i meant (it may have not come across as i went into a state of panic at te idea of a little being constantly attached to my nipples eek!!) is that the best thing for a child id a happy mummy and a happy mummy is a mummy that is aloud to do what she thinks best (obviously don’t be silly and assume i mean those awful abusive mothers as well as otherwise i shall just cry!!) be it breast, pump or bottle!!

loves and kisses

<3 and etc

what a sweetheart mr dylan feel free to contradict me anytime as long as you do it in the nicest way! xx

Can I have my two pennies worth please?

I am a vegan mother of 2, both of whom I breast fed for quite some time.
And I find it quite disturbing that people are repulsed by human breast milk when they themselves drink the breast milk from another animal! How sick is that?! A grown man/woman suckling on the teat of a cow!

I don’t have a problem with people unable to breastfeed for some reason, but not to even bother trying because you don’t want your breasts stretched or you don’t want to lose your sex appeal?!

Poor cow.

Vegan mum you can throw your two pennies in when ever you want. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Thank you for the slightly disturbing image of a grown human suckling on a cow.

In the Western world we have such an odd view on the human body and what is acceptable.

I think I saw that image on an episode of the simpsons once

‘How sick is that?! A grown man/woman suckling on the teat of a cow!’

Why is drinking cow’s milk sick? Because it’s not as instinctive as drinking breast milk as an infant? That’s a bizarre argument at best.

Incidentally, if we’re going to talk about some behaviours being ‘natural’ and others being ‘sick’ we can perhaps consider the fact that we have front-facing eyes, sharp teeth, and the capacity to digest flesh. Does that mean eating meat is ok purely by virtue of our bodies being well suited to it? Justifying or condemning actions based on what is and isn’t ‘natural’ is very shaky ground.

whilst you do raise a valid point vegan mum, unfortunately in this day and age vanity is pushed to the forefront of our consciousness and we are made to feel that if we are not perfect then we hare not beautiful and our partners will potentially stray because we haven’t made the effort to look good for them. Yes breast feeding is wonderful and natural but the depression that can come from the need to maintain physical perfection isn’t happy or healthy. Maybe I do sound shallow but this is the world we live in! I’d love to have the confidence to believe that even if breast feeding completely changed my breasts I’d still be happy but I don’t and yes that is sad. But, I’d rather use a breast pump and be a happy mum that breast feed and be unhappy!!

People shouldn’t judge other peoples choices because they are based on what is right for them not anyone else!

Its only sick in the sense that we are more willing to drink the fluid created by another animal for its young, we will put it on our cereal, in our coffee, make it into cheese or cream etc but in this programme it showed people being disgusted to the point of throwing up by the thought of drinking human breast milk which is made for us. So has little to do with what is ‘natural’ and more on our views of the world and how we see ourselves.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe vegan mum’s comment about drinking from a cow’s teat was grounded in jest.
Personally I agree wholeheartedly with that its downright weird to ashew breast milk (“eww its icky” etc) when drinking cow’s milk is considered so very normal.
Absolutely nothing wrong with only using breast milk, or only cow’s milk, or even a mix of the two, but to be repulsed by our own nutritive fluids is just odd.

“So has little to do with what is ‘natural’ and more on our views of the world and how we see ourselves.” Blackett, you said it all for me.

Hey Andy, i think you weren't breastfed at all, otherwise you wouldn't have commented like this!
