Whose boobs are they anyway?

Tweet

I’m currently spending much more time commuting – I’ve a new project which adds a long tube journey to my usual daily trip and the unfortunate side effect of this extra bit, along with the lack of a seat, is that I get much more time to stand up close to my fellow passengers [...]

The Friday Rant Club – a torrent of previously hidden, unspoken thoughts

Today Lucy, who blogs at thatwoman is guest ranting for us – over to Lucky

_______________________

I was thinking about what to write all day, and several of my bugbears had a similar theme.

 

This is namely, the desire in me, the shrieking desire to say, once or twice, loudly and without an [...]

Can we have some breastfeeding reporting without the angst?

Tweet

Is there a journalist out there able to report on breastfeeding without bringing their personal angst about formula feeding to bear? Not only have we had to endure Cherry Healey ‘investigating’ whether breast is best but now we have Anna Maxted calling for protection against the breastapo.

In both cases, these women are taking [...]

Nurturing breastfeeding mother to freak in two seconds?

And to be honest not helped by the makers launching it with sexy waitresses, baby bottles and rusks.  I mean why do you [...]

Tweet

There have been times over the last year when I never thought I would be able to post this but incredibly, after 16 months, it appears that Littler has started to wean herself.

And to sleep!

Just in time too with the prospect of the girls having a mini holiday to my parents next [...]

Breastfeeding journeys – toddlers and teeth

Tweet

I reckon that nobody sits down and reckons that they’ll breastfeed a toddler. 

I mean a teeny, tiny baby is one thing and seems natural, but a hulking big, climbing, wriggling, talking child? 

And then the possibility of teeth.

The bald fact that you are planning on putting something very sensitive (because even though [...]

Can we just stop with all this breastfeeding misinformation

Tweet

Let’s just get this clear. Breastfeeding is best for babies.  End of.  Its what nature intended and the milk is designed to be exactly what a specific baby needs at every specific stage.

Formula on the other hand is not poison.  It has saved the lives of babies where their mothers couldn’t or wouldn’t [...]
