Thoughts on this....??

[cherryglitter]

did he have mcdonalds for breakfast again

Almost actually but I made homemade muffins in stead!

(BTW I am not being sarcastic, my OH really did go to McD's this morning and I refused!)

And my kebabs were from Annabel Karmel's finger food book Deelish!

ive been craving a mcdonalds breakfast for ages now!
i might have to look up that AK recipe! then jake can join in with Daddy when he has his stinky kebab!

I gave my 16 month old a kebab for dinner tonight

Booooooo, KFC would of been better, despite the animal cruelty

(on a serious note, aren't kebabs different in canada anyway? or are they the same as the british unwanted bit of animal shrabnarrrrl?)



EDIT: haha just seen the annabel karmel one

Its personal choice and no-one has the right to tell anyone they are wrong or disgusting. You don't walk up to a smoker and say 'you're gross' or the like, so why is it acceptable to say something rude to someone who extended breastfeeds

 

[midori1999]

Crikey, I can't keep up with this thread!

My thoughts are:

-It's no-ones business how anyone feeds their baby, no matter how old they are, although it's natural to form judgements about people.

- Why is it OK to BF a baby in public, but not a toddler/older child? Some people get upset about/don't like seeing/are offended by a baby being nursed in public, yet not many would suggest their opinions or feelings mean we shouldn't BF our babies in public, so why shouldn't the same reasoning apply to BF an older child in public?

- There are nutritional benefits to the child from breastmilk for as long as BF continues. The benefits to the Mother increase the longer the BF continues.

- If the child and parents are happy for the BF to continue, why shouldn't it? I

- Why should a Mum have to express breastmilk for an older child if she doesn't want to?

- People forget that the reason breast are sexual is because breasts equal baby feeding ability and at a biological level, men are attracted to women who can bear and rear their children.

- LOTS of women BF toddlers and older children, but they mostly do it in private, so people aren't used to it or aware how much it actually happens. Just like the more people see babies being BF in public the more they see it as normal, the more people see older children ursed in public, the more they'll see that as normal.

- It's proven that extended/natural term BF relationships only benefit the mother and child.

Oh my no!! Kebabs here are quite a healthy treat!

 

[Blah11]

You can get chicken kebabs here which is just grilled marinated chicken breast but the disgusting donner ones I think you call gyros?

 

[mummy2be...]

I think everyone on B&B are closet junk food addicts--- hoe are we back on this subject ??

Donner kebab

 

[aliss]

We must have different kebab ideas!

Here a kebab is good... they are like the ones when you visit Egypt

yep kebab is so not good here

 

[patch2006uk]

Kebab here is definitely not good. Think reconstituted lamb meat on a twirling stick, sliced off with a small angle grinder and served with chips, slathered in mint sauce and mayo.

The worst part is that a small section of my brain just went 'yum'

 

[CormacksGirl]

If she wants to BF her 4 year old then that's her choice but I think it should be kept to the privacy of her own house and not in public. I have NO problem with BF babies in public but I'm not so comfortable with 4 yer olds!

 

[Babushka99]

You can get nice kebab here too but we are all thinking of greasy sweaty donner kebab off this twirling stick that is reheated about 40 times and uses the worst bit of meat.

but why should it be hidden away like some dirty secret because it makes YOU feel uncomfortable? Loads of things make me uncomfortable - people kissing in the street, people shouting and smacking their kids, men walking about half naked, girls walking around half naked , swearing every 2nd word, people smoking when im walking behind them etc but thats MY problem, not theirs.

I was gonna say patch,if ya like mcdonalds... x

 

[JASMAK]

I just get hibby jeebies from people who view breastfeeding as, well, offensive. I mean...WHAT are these people thinking...oh that sucking of the breast reminds me of SEX??? That is just disgusting!!! Talk about pedo thinking, no??? I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public....period.

 

[pinklightbulb]

I see no problem with it, I would still BF Eamon now if I had milk and would BF until he self-weaned (my milk dried up at 11 months). I don't know how I would go in public but I wish I could still BF him as we're going on a long plane trip in 3 months and it would have been sooooo much easier to settle him with BF, he used to fall asleep that way, but I don't have a clue how he will go without on a long journey as never done it not BFing before!

 

[Ashley8806]

I think if she wants to bf her 4 year, so be it. I wouldn't personally do it, but everyone does what they feel is right.

However, in public, I have some concerns. Not that she should hide it away like a 'dirty secret', and not that I'm turning it into something 'sexual', but if my 3 year old daughter saw that in public, I would have hours of endless questions about it.

But wouldn't that be the case regardless? Wouldn't there be questions no matter how old the child is that is breastfeeding? When I was breastfeeding I got toddlers that were obviously curious. Why not just tell them that that is how that mommy feeds her baby?

I just don't see that as a big deal.

 

[Ashley8806]

You don't see it as a big deal, I do. I just stated my opinion is all. She will see me breastfeed the new baby, and know that it's how you feed a baby, but I don't feel comfortable with 4 year olds breastfeeding, that's all.
