New Supernanny thread for those who are watching it - Page 2

I get that this family/mama has habits that are effecting the quality of her days....

if they have this mama wean, because what she really needs is to set some limits is going to make me madddd.

I get that bedtime was out of control, but that also doesn't have to mean no more bed sharing.

Nany Jo is very here or there, two extremes. There are in betweens for things that are not working for some people.

oh no here it comes, what the heck is wrong with holding your baby alot. and nursing for emotional reasons!!!! aggggghhhhhhhhh

[Janice in Canada]

I still have seen no real reason that she has to wean, other than that Jo doesn't like it.

I bet the older girl was breastfed too, and she seems to have met her milestones.

I'm watching it. I was expecting a horror show with the weaning but I don't think jo's advise is bad. Remember, these parents called the show. And the mother just said she has been wanting to wean for a long time but didn't know how.


Edit: But EWWWWWW! They are giving her a bottle? WTF?????

[aydensmama]

oh no oh no oh no, wean from breast to bottle......no no no no

[Nature]

I can't watch this anymore.

[lml41981]

Oh no! I don't believe Mom is ready to wean. I believe she's being bullied. Jo is a UA violation.

WTH!??!?!?! Moms who don't wean don't have personal growth? Urgh! I hate this.

[kerilynn]

OMGosh thats the most horrible thing I have seen on TV in my whole life

[LittlePeanut]

"I'm glad you've come to that decision [to wean] becuse it shows me that you are ready for personal growth"

OMG - "Put the pillow where your breast is [between you and the child]"

I feel ILL! She just cried herself to sleep! I think I'm going to vommit!

[mamabeth]

I had to not watch anymore. I stopped at the point where she was talking about the emotional bond....WTF?????????? What about the nutrition? no mention of how freaking young she is? oh, this is going to be huge in the news, I think??? where do we send the letters, mamas?

[Lauren82]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. I cant watch anymore.

[Janice in Canada]

"So we can have a healthy relationship thats not connected emotionally to here (motions to breast)"

Told her to put a towel over the breast.

She's trying to give her a bottle.

Also trying to get her to nurse without using mom's breast as a pacifier.

Took her 10 minutes to get her to sleep. all is blissful.

"Mom did a fantastic job, kept herself detached"

[mama_b]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG


That poor little baby is being forced to wean.

[Mrs.PhD]

Ug, I was ok with everything Jo has done up to this point until the weaning part.

Just wacthing it is killing me. Sure the mom says she wants to wean her, but Jo didn't even mention that you can put limits on nursing with out weaning. I don't think the mom wants to wean her, she just want a little freedom. You can have both. :

AND WHY GIVE A !4 MONTH OLD A BOTTLE! To wean from breast to a bottle at that age is just dumb! :

It breaks my heart. :

[Nature]

You know.. shows have made me mad before... but this is the first time its literally made me cry.

I am so upset. Perhaps its made worse by the fact that I'm watching this show while nursing my 14 month old baby girl.

I am disgusted beyond belief. No words come to mind that will not violate the UA.

[aydensmama]

totally agree with all pp, why not teach the mom that it is not nurse 24 hours a day OR wean. there is a whole spectrum of things in between.....

[Nature]

Letters need to go out to everyone. This is seriously one of the worst things I've seen on the network in quite awhile. So very very wrong, and so sad.

[minkajane]

There's 20 minutes left and I just have to turn it off. That poor baby! DS nursed till he self-weaned at 22 months. He met every milestone just fine, not to mention everybody that meets him comments on how happy, outgoing, and smart he is.

Not to mention, why wean to a bottle? There are MUCH easier ways to wean than going cold-turkey (which is what I presume they're doing) plus the baby's old enough to go without a bottle. The bottle's just one more thing to wean from. It's just another way of saying that the bottle is the norm and that you WILL wean young enough to NEED a bottle.

[AEMOMMY]

My husband and I just watched about 10 seconds of the show. The baby was screaming and trying to nurse in bed, while the mother was trying to force her to take a bottle. Jo was standing in the doorway. That was it, it made me sick!!!!! I'm heartbroken for both mother and baby. I had to turn it off. I'd rather watch I love New York.

I wish this mother just stood up for herself and gave the baby a boob!
