I’m not convinced it can be right for what is a very small minority , ie transgender people / binary forcing their ‘ issues ‘ onto the vast majority of mainstream people who are ‘ women ‘ that Breast feed ‘ or bottle feed .

There is quite a lot of research that suggests breast feeding is better in the first 3-6 months than bottle feeding but not every woman can do it and not every baby takes breast milk easily .

As long as the baby is well fed is the most important thing .

My wife had the most incredible exchange about breast feeding with the midwife in hospital after we had twins in 2010. My wife was put under pressure to breast feed and politely said she couldn’t. The midwifes got really heavy handed about breast being best and said things like “just because you have twins it does not mean you can’t so you must at least try.” My wife was very polite and said she couldn’t for medical reasons but the particularly aggressive midwife was not having it and told her to stop making excuses. My wife assured her that she couldn’t but the pressure kept coming. I suggested that the midwife read my wife’s notes but she was still pushing it it and said we were just making excuses and she couldn’t see anything in the notes about it. She had missed a massive detail on the front page.

Eventually my wife had enough and said “as soon as I am out of hospital with these babies I am travelling for two hours to a specialist cancer unit to undergo radiotherapy treatment for my eye cancer diagnosed a few months ago” - her notes made it clear that she had cancer and had made a decision to let pregnancy go to full term rather than risk inducing and the potential risks to babies.

At this point the midwife realised she had been pushing far too hard and not read the notes properly and went completely the other way and started treating my wife like she was about to die (which is why she did not shout about it in the first place). I believe they have (or did at the time) have targets for breast feeding.

The story has a happy ending. The radiotherapy went well and she now just has tests every 6 months to make sure it is not coming back.

The amount of people in the general public who judge about choices re breastfeeding was amazing.

Midwives have been told to say “chestfeeding” instead of “breastfeeding” and to replace the term “mother” with “mother or birthing parent” as part of moves to be more trans-friendly and inclusive.

Soooooooo.....questions............

1) Men have breasts too. There are many references in the Bible, in literature and in medecine

https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/breast-cancer/the-male-breasts

Has RSCH decided that men no longer have breasts?

2) Has there been a mighty clamour from the Trans community to make this change? I've not come across it.

Glad your wife is OK. We had our twins back in 2014 and I can also testify that the " you must breast feed' gestapo were really overbearing. For us it was double trouble because at the same time there was a push ( pun intended) that all mums with twins should give birth naturally as opposed to c section. End result was that wife was left in agony for day and a half when it was obvious that nothing was going to happen. Thankfully a different doctor took one look at my wife and said my god why haven't we got these two out quicker by c section.

sympathies. there's a lot of anxiety and shaming around "breast is best" mantra.

I have tried to cut moldy brain some slack lately, I really have. But he's simply a ****ing idiot. And two recent bans, one for inviting folk on NSC to give me a slap and the other for something I don't care to mention again. :facepalm:

Chest feeding?

Is the word 'breast' now sexist and not allowed?

My 2 daughters were BREAST fed, youngest had to be supplemented with a bottle as she was hungry more than my Mrs BREASTS produced.

There we go. Said it 3x.

As soon as you see Crodo, you have to know what’s coming and not react! :lol:

This is simply not true. From the press release:

"The trust recognises the vast majority of midwifery service users are women and already has language in place women are comfortable with. This is not changing. For example, we will continue to call them pregnant women and talk about breastfeeding."

The full statement is here:

Silly old bat
Most (not all) seem to have missed what this is about, see: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-56007728

I've seen they are being told to call breast milk 'human milk' from now on :wrong:

The BBC misreporting something?
Well, I am surprised!
:rolleyes:

And now he is on another thread poking his nose in to see how much money people have got.
Calling him an idiot is being very kind.
His post on here (from a male) that breast feeding should be mandatory tells you all you need to know.
Then tries to dig himself out and calling abuse, again.
Weapons grade pillock.
