    seriously?  you guys wait ten minutes to answer threads?  LOL!!  no wonder it's hopping over here.  my response in dani's thread was fine.  there is this ridiculous idea that formula will solve everything and life will be so much easier once you switch to formula.  you still have to feed/burp/change/rock/and get screamed on by the baby.  you will still be tired.  your vag and boobs will still hurt.  only now you have a baby who is trying to digest chemical slime instead of milk.  sure, the baby on the can looks happy.  that's a good reason.  science is fucking science.  it has nothing to do with what kind of mom you are. it's just science. 

    oh look. my avatar changed.

    so, the welcome wagon rolls up with ignored requests for help and the c-word.  this place is so warm and supportive.

    QFP = quoted for posterity. It's a vote of no confidence in your future ability to be normal. The poster assumes you have the distinct potential to delete your comments in a fit of (whatever), and wants to preserve the text so future readers can be guaranteed a look at how ridiculous you are. It wasn't a mistake that she posted it twice. You just were quote-worthy twice.
    so, i get called a cunt within my first ten posts and i'm the one who should be considering deleting?  that's awesome.  yeah, you don't have to worry about my deleting anything.

    That's a reflection on you, my dear, not us.

    hang on.  so, the appropriate response to somebody who WANTS to continue to bf but is struggling is to tell her that it's okay to switch to formula?  that's not encouraging her or empowering her!!  this is my first experience on a mommy board, i had no idea that you talk to each other that way.  why wouldn't you cheer her on and remind her of why she made the decision to bf in the first place?  how are you helping her overcome that rough patch and meet her goals by telling her that she doesn't HAVE to bf.  of course she doesn't HAVE to breastfeed. she knows that.  she also knows that formula is inferior to breast milk.  this is sad if this is how you support each other.  way to rally the troops.

    Who joins a birth month baby board more than halfway through that month? You missed the welcome wagon, chief. Sorry not sorry.

    You could proceed right on to babycenter. You haven't made a very good first impression here.

    You're right, my degree in child development and 12 years working with infant-18 years has gotten me nowhere. Would I be more credible if I hadn't lost my first baby that would have been due in January? What about if I wasn't 2 weeks past my EDD with this one, would that help?

    Yes, late term pregnancy and recently post partum women are pretty damned fragile.

    No one said that either. But maybe you could, I don't know, introduce yourself? Check out the tone of the board? See what this place is about before jumping in and acting like a know it all asshole? Just a thought. ::shrugs::
    For real! Or wait longer than ten mins before getting all pissy that no one has answered your super important question?! Everyone is just dying to welcome and help you now!

    Can't take full credit. Someone in the RTT said it first, I think. But hey, if the shoe fits. . . ;)
