Fed Is Best Foundation Vs The Baby Friendly Hospital INITIATIVE - A Question Of Ethics. Part 2

3/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Last week Forbes released an article entitled “Fed Is Best Foundation Says Says WHO Breastfeeding Guidelines Fail To Meet Human Rights Standards"

If your first encounter with the Fed Is Best Foundation was reading the Forbes article, you would probably come away agreeing that the WHO is being negligent and denying babies human rights. ​

So, you might be wondering if their claim is valid. 

Is the UNICEF/WHO focus on breastfeeding rates and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative putting babies lives at needless risk for the sake of politics?

Last week Forbes released an article entitled “Fed Is Best Foundation Says Says WHO Breastfeeding Guidelines Fail To Meet Human Rights Standards"

Just digest that for a minute because, that’s huge. 

That’s a really massive call.

And if your first encounter with the Fed Is Best Foundation was reading the Forbes article, you would probably come away agreeing that the WHO is being negligent and denying babies human rights. ​

misogony in healthcare - women's health complaints are ignored, diminished and covered up.

9/8/2017

When thousands of women complain of the same side effects from their contraception; when business is considering adopting period leave; when maternal morbidity and mortality is rising in the USA and the western world has abysmal breastfeeding success rates, we have a much bigger problem than any of those issues individually suggest.

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION ABOUT VACCINES?

7/8/2017

0 Comments

 
Maybe instead of throwing insults and shutting ourselves off to any discussion of the downsides of vaccines, we should all be fighting to make vaccines as safe as humanly possible.

By ensuring better testing, more transparent and easier complaints lodging, regularly reviewing for improvements, having whole of life schedules, and using the least invasive juvenile schedule possible.

Should You Use Cry-it-out as A TANTRUM strategy

24/5/2017

1 Comment

 
Amongst people who are generally against sleep training babies, I've noticed a trend. There seems to be this idea floating around, that at some point in a baby’s development CIO stops being harmful.


That point? When tantrums hit.

Thus, you see people who are generally anti CIO saying things “like I’m against CIO, but how far does this stretch into your waking life?” and “if your toddler is having a tantrum because they can’t have something they want, do you let them CIO?” or “My 9/10/11 month old had suddenly developed a real temper and personality, and is always stroppy about things not going his own way. How do I teach him that he can’t always have his way in life, should I just ignore the tantrums?”

If Jesus were alive today, what would he be like, and perhaps more importantly would the average Christian even agree with him? 

I'm thinking probably not.

Why We All Need To Stop Comparing Formula To McDonald's

20/3/2017

0 Comments

 
Whenever the fed is best₁ argument flares up; you know the one - as long as the baby gets fed that’s all that matters - somebody on the pro-breastfeeding side of things uses the analogy of feeding your older child nothing but McDonald's to point out the absurdity of fed, being best.

This article is for those people.

How Your Parenting Approach Could Be Putting Your Child At A Greater Risk of Sexual Abuse

22/2/2017

0 Comments

 
If there was a way that you could raise your child that would almost guarantee that they were safe from exploitation and sexual abuse, would you be signing up right now?

I doubt there are many parents out there who would answer no.

And yet the vast majority of parents are Authoritarian, a parenting approach that I am about to argue puts kids at a far higher risk of being abused than they need to be.

Peaceful Parenting (also known as Respectful Parenting) however can minimise the risk.

Misplaced Guilt

28/12/2016

1 Comment

 
There are plenty of people who should be feeling guilty for breastfeeding failure.

But the mothers who are doing the best they can with the information and access they have in a culture that is unsupportive and hostile???

Nope. 
​
That ladies is called gaslighting.

And we women are so used to it, that we didn't even notice. We gaslight each other and ourselves. 

​it's called the Mummy Wars
