Standing Down

[bean]

Hi everyone

Just wanted to let you know that I will be standing down as one of the supporters for your breastfeeding section.

This is a step I feel I have to take as I have been kicked off my breastfeeding peer support training course. I have missed one and a half sessions of the training due to my Grans funeral last week and crippling anxiety this week, when I could only last half the session before leaving. I really regret this as I thought I could bring some useful experience and information to you ladies.

However, Winegirl, Monica, Chica and Cazfletcher are all on hand to offer anyone information and breastfeeding support, so keep your requests coming please.

I would appreciate no replies to this post, as this is your breastfeeding section, and not my personal soundboard and it would be wrong of me to use this section as such. Any personal issues on the matter I shall use my own diary for.

I apologise for having to do this but do not feel I am suitably qualified to support this section, and again, our resident moderators will be happy to answer any breastfeeding queries you may have.

Many thanks for your support

luv bean x

I would like to add to Bean's post that she was not asked to be our breastfeeding guru because of a course that was run by people with no interpersonal skills which she is better off without, but because I, and the other staff know that there is NOONE more qualified to deal with this issue here than Bean.

And mate - I stand by this, and beg you to reconsider standing down. We are not interested in the useful info you get from this bunch of self rightous muppets who call themselves `supporters', what we all agreed at the last meeting was that noone has the experience, breastfeeding and interpersonal skills like you have for this section.

We need you

COME BACK BEAN! I want to add my tuppence. The course Bean was on has NOTHING to do with this thread - this is for us ladies who want advice with breast feeding and can't think of a better person to offer advice than Bean who is a lovely, compassionate and non-judgemental mum who has breastfed her three children successfully.

As for the tossers who throw a mum off a course cos she's unwell and had to attend her gran's funeral... well if I could manage to draw a finger on here I would!!!

Hi Bean,

I know you have said that you would appreciate no replies to this post, and normally I abide by anyones wishes, but I have to say in all consciousness, that I cannot do that this time.

Your input is sooooooo much valued!!!!!!!

The B******s that have "kicked you off your course" are not even worthy to lick your shoes.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reconsider, as we need you!!!!!!!!

Wizzing off out tonite first time in ages with hubby but had to reply. If I had had some one like you to talk too 15 and 7 years ago I might had persevered with bf. We need you.....

Bean you're more qualified than most hun. You have the experience many 'qualified' people don't and therefore your advice is respected far more. Please re-concider. I'm gonna be desperate for your help come October.

Hi everyone
Im bowled over by your comments I really didnt expect any of them. Reading what you have said has really affected me.
I thought because I promised to do the course, this was expected and I failed to deliver. What I didnt realise was the fantastic support you all give and how much you value me.
It has been a hard time for me just lately but Ive made this comittment to you ladies and will stand by it. I am so sorry for freaking out recently and Im doing my best to get my head together but am here if anyone needs any help or support.
Much love
beany x

I will definatly be coming to you when i start again with my new baby. hopefully with support from you sand other sources i won't fail this time!!

[gizmoracer]

YAY Beany's back. ;D

Love my Bean xxxx

Well I am a bit late on this but Bean, what are you thinking woman. I wish I had known you when I was struggling with mine. After 10 kids I should be a natural but only ever managed to feed my last 2 myself. If I had someone (trained or not) to give me some advice then I would have stuck with it and not felt like I was doing it all wrong.
Keep going with this as I think that you will do some great work here
