...Other People's Breast Milk? Am I the only one who was totally grossed out by the 'tandem' breast feeding of the 4 and 5 year olds

 

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

No your not alone.

 

[Snowy-girls]

I have sky+ it,but i have a feeling i am not going to watch it all.Just reading the interview that Kate done abut this made me think--eurghhhh.x.

 

[BRobson]

No - couldn't bear to watch

 

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

TBH I'm concerned over the lady who has just said she has breast fed other peoples children yet claimed it felt sexual? Isnt that wrong? yet they just laughed? I'm wishing I never watched this now.

I watched the whole programme and found this particular conversation very disturbing. If a woman was baby sitting my girls and decided to "comfort" them by feeding them I'd be livid, who knows what could be passed on in her anti-bodies. A previous contributor to the show who expressed for prem babies said that her milk was screened and stererlised before being given. Very weird for a woman who has never had a child of her own to want to comfort a child by feeding it
I'm quite pro breastfeeding and I do think we have been conditioned to think it's only visually acceptable to feed a baby under 12 months. If people want to continue past that point then thats up to them (FYI - I didn't) but I'm with Joh the tandem 4/5year old thing was weird
Little Britain and "Bitty" kept coming to mind....
These programmes are very successful at making mothers feel guilty....

 

[natalielongstaff]

I avoided the programmme ...knew it would make me mad !

 

[The Fetherstons]

I didnt see the programme, glad I didnt sound YUK

 

[Pinky166]

I'm like Michelle - I Sky+ it but really don't know if I want to watch it now, especially after reading this thread.

I am absolutely 100% sure that some years ago a woman had her baby taken away from her by Social Sevices for confessing such a thing to her heath visitor so, yes, I'd say it is very, very wrong...

I couldn't watch the programme. The clips definitely made me think of Little Britain and, as someone who breastfed all 3 of her babies, I didn't want to be grossed out by something that was a private and lovely memory for me...

Your so right Karen - I haven't got any children at the mo but when I do I certainly don't want to have images from that program in my mind if I am able to breastfeed.

 

[orlandothebeagle]

I had to turn it off,yuk,yuk,yuk.

 

[carolfoy]
