Okay I get highly upset when people try to make other peoples choices out as being really really bad and just plainly rude about it.

I dont think I made it a secret that I personally for my family believe in extended BFding. But that it it. My choice for my family. It isnt harming her and it isnt harming me or our family set up and I dont think it has anything to do with anyone else.

At the same time I do think everyone has a right to their own opinion but at the same time you also have the obligation on how you say it to other people ect.

I have never had a problem with a mom formula feeding and no I never have to hear if she has a supposedly valid excuse (like some people will make you believe you need).

Same goes for birth choices. Doesnt matter to me if someone chose natural versus cesear versus help with medicine to totally unassistant.

What matters to me is if a mother has the best intention for their baby. Takes their baby into consideration with certain decisions.

I sometimes feel we as moms can be the best of friends and at the same time the worst of enemies. Really sad sometimes.

that is why I love OH baby. We have so many different moms with different ways of raising kids it is nice to get different advice and seeing what fits with your family set up.

Okay I know I dwindled a bit of topic. (I just get highly upset when someone gets ridiculed (sp?) for their choices.

The only things I didn't like was that she was the star of the show there, just because she was BF 2 children and they were older children. There were 20 other woman there BF their children.
I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

boy oh boy that was sooo funny..

i love when that lady in the first letter says:
"alongside sensibly weaning children at the appropriate time supervised by Plunket". i wonder if she only buys huggies cause they are endorsed by Plunket too.

I think it is a shame that some people feel the need to feed in toilets, but i think that is their choice and all about how they percieve the feelings of others.

I do feel that sometimes those that do extend breastfeed their children need to be a bit more considerate of others and that lady in the photo wasnt at all. You can see how uncomfortable the lady next to her is. Extended breastfeeding has not been the norm in NZ for a long time and shoving it in peoples faces isnt the best way to promote it.

Unfortunately that's what publicity is all about, the 20 other women aren't doing anything sensational - none of them would have got letters to the Ed.

There was another woman there feeding 2 children a 9 month old and a 2 year right next to that woman. I was surprised that they didn't try and get her into the photo.
