    Many of the midwives at hospital are sanctimonious bitches bullying parents during their most vulnerable time

    Unfortunate mistake but that's not enough in this day and age. Let's let the world know how utterly outraged I am instead.

    Yes, but:

    ""We will take action against her for discriminating us." A quote from Raj Patel.

    So there is racism and probably genderism (not sure if I have coined that or heard it somewhere) at play here as well.

    I think that we should all be offended - including @jegga who might end up with an Elf and Santa DVD for Christmas.

    She might be the last person in NZ to actually pay for porn.

    Interesting that she knew what decade it was from.

    Fingers crossed when gets tonight’s daily outrage slot in the news when the interviewer asks about it she says something like “ well Ginger Lynn looked about 25 years old and Tom Byron still had long hair.... I mean I just assumed.....”

    @canefan The only good part of that story was the comments by dads telling how they told staff or midwives to pull their heads in. I would have high fived them all. Acting like bottle feeds is some sort of poison is fucking ridiculous enough, but starving a newborn is unconscionable.

    @mokey our first was a large child. Breastfeeding didn't take, milk never came, baby screaming, two new parents stressing out, midwives advice was basically "just keep trying, it's not easy" and nothing else. Pediatrician came in and lost her shit, basically saying give this child formula, he's starving. I was fucking ropable. And they still, even after this, made us feel like we were giving him heroin. In the end we just formula fed him full time.

    Second came around, and i just rocked in to the hospital with formula ready to go. And took great delight in making it up right in front of them. I fucking hated those fluffybunnies after what they put us through that first time.

    Both our kids were big feckers (#2 was over 10pd) #1 was a nightmare to feed was bottle fed from fairly early on , our midwife was sweet about it, but my wife had epidural headaches and best thing that helped them was caffeine which ain't great to feed a newborn. 2nd breastfed sweet as weaned herself off about 9 months...mind you all round #2 was so much easier!

    We had a similar experience but not as extreme. All passive aggressive and shit until we met a really tough but nice midwife who got the formula and showed us how. The second time we were like 'pretty please with sugar on top get me the farken formula'

    @mariner4life Good for you. There are heaps of reasons why breastfeeding doesn't work, no matter how hard the mother tries. And some can't at all. The thought of these women made to feel like criminals at an already stressful and hormonal as fuck time makes me furious. I would hazard 'mum not trying' to be the reason almost never. Besides the fact that formula nowadays is so much more advanced than when these old fucking battleaxes were having kids. Oh for the mindset of is baby's tummy full? Then sweet, moving right along.

    Our midwife was cool, on our last visit she gave me a prescription for 36 condoms and said it was a nine month supply.
    I think I’ve still got some, my sons 15 now.
