This completely turned me off Gwyneth Paltrow - I was shocked to read about it, and really very sad for her children.

ETA: ...She (Paltrow's nanny) believes babies should be allowed to 'shout it out', as she puts it... Sickening, the way shout is used instead of cry, to frame it in a better way, as if the baby is unreasonably mad.

This quote from that article speaks volumes:

Quote:
"The 58-year-old maternity nurse is a strong believer in breast-feeding, although she says that babies should also be given a bottle from the beginning so that someone else can do the feed during the night and take some of the pressure from the mother. Having been unable to breast-feed two of her own three children, however, she believes women shouldn't be criticised if it doesn't work for them."
:

Hmmm, I wonder if her inability to breastfeed may been due to a low milk supply by not breastfeeding on demand and adding bottles.

Just a thought.

I think it's hilarious that people say that they didn't bf because their dh wanted to feed baby. Sure, with the first one, for 2 or 3 weeks, you might get a bit of a fight to feed baby a bottle, but do you really see dad putting up much of a fight to feed 10 month old Sam a bottle.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Very few people are actually "unable" to breastfeed if they're doing it the way nature intended.

I can't get over this whole "baby shouldn't rule the roost" at the house. It's not like the baby is demanding junk food and toys, he or she is demanding love, attention, and food! Last time I checked those were needs that we all have.
