Forgive me, but I've never heard of a vitamin K shot. What's it for?

It keep babies from hemorrhaging for lack of it until they start getting it from solid food.

Forgive me, but I've never heard of a vitamin K shot. What's it for?

Babies are born with very low levels of vitamin K due to the fact that it doesn't cross the placental barrier in large enough quantities. Newborn infants are routinely given vitamin K shots to ensure that they have enough vitamin K for their blood to clot properly.

Parents in the US have started refusing vitamin K shots because of weird antivaxx shit. Apparently it turns babies into robots. If a parent refuses the shot then their baby can just start hemorrhaging. Sometimes in the brain (which is usually fatal), and this can just happen entirely unrelated to any sort of trauma.

Basically we discovered this almost a hundred years ago and entirely eliminated this particular form of infant death, but crazy parents are bringin' back the oldies.

 

[Keep Yourself Safe]

The British press used to love mumsnet before the great woke takeover, they were constantly lazily mining the site for filling pages like they do now with twitter bullshit.

My favorite mumsnet thread was when they were talking about celebrities that they had slept with and one of the mumsnetters had fucked Adam Richman of Man Vs Food fame.

Does the UK have a problem with parents refusing the vitamin K shot? This is becoming increasingly common in the US.

Some do, there’s a smallish but present bunch of the type who want a natural third stage and delayed cord clipping (which is fine) then bitch about it not happening when something had to be done (to save someone’s life usually, which is a tiny bit more urgent...)
There are clusters of this sort of thing, plenty of non vaccinators, hence our alarming measles rates. It’s not hugely common to refuse vitamin K yet but it does happen.

vitamin K is needed for proper clotting. All babies are born a bit deficient so they get a shot. It’s harmless and prevents bleeds in the brain and gut, which while not exactly common common, weren’t rare either. It used to be a cause of death and serious brain injury.
Interesting refusal is on the rise - what’s the ‘reason’?

Retarded antivaxers think all shots are TOXINZ and KHEMIKILLZ

 

[Otterly]

Honestly I find the anti vax stuff just depressing. Imo you have more success with parents if you’re explaining why they are needed than being confrontational. It’s shit for us all, webe had child and adult deaths from measles in the uk.

back to MN. Just remembered this one, which is brilliant: ‘hedge sex’

MN is not quite woke enough for the press these days, but you can often see stories lifted from it. I also see posts which are quite obviously planted to gauge public opinion on something.

The hedge sex thread anyway. Enjoy!

I guess it's more of a WWYD as I know I'm NBU but every few nights people (I assume the same two) keep having sex in the hedge which divides

Interesting refusal is on the rise - what’s the ‘reason’?

IM injection shortly after childbirth causes oversensitization and leads to autism. Many such cases! Also they don't like scary-sounding names like propylene glycol being in it. Don't tell them but we put menaquinones in it sometimes too.

RESULTS: Among the 282 378 children in the cohort, 99.7% received vitamin K and 0.3% declined. Midwife-assisted deliveries were more likely to be associated with vitamin K refusal compared with physician-attended delivery (risk ratio 8.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.5–11.0). Planned home delivery (risk ratio 4.9, CI 3.8–6.4) or delivery in a birth center (risk ratio 3.6, CI 2.3–5.6) were more likely to result in decline of vitamin K compared with hospital delivery. Vitamin K refusal was associated with a 14.6 (CI 13.9–15.3) higher relative risk of having no recommended childhood vaccines at 15 months.

That RR though.

So did someone actually go out of their way to notify the authorities of his 'collection', or do UK cops seriously waste their time monitoring citizens to see if they upload r34 shit?

I was so certain it was going to be the older daughter, but it turned out that a grown-ass adult man was searching for "Male on male gay porn". Is it just me or is that a "Naked woman boobs"-tier search term?

[Real Mutha For Ya]

Wasn't there a thing for awhile where Mumsnet users were making KiwiFarms accounts to talk about TERF shit awhile back?

idk if you're trying to start a fight but I've already got the popcorn cooking.

EDIT: looking through their acronym list.
View attachment 1133889

how the fuck are those two things related and why are they the same acronym?

also, why publish a list of all your site's slang in the first place? isn't that just inviting posers and trolls by the legion?

The influx of Mumsnet Terven was due to the clampdown and bans associated with discussing troon issues on the deranged Womxn's Rights forum. In particular the discussion of two lolcows Uncle Tony and Harrop the quack faggot migrated to the Farms due to Uncle Tony serving legal papers on Mumsnet to get the details of users (Archive).
The Mumsnet infiltration tend to ignore the advice for using the farms: VPN's, burner emails, disclosing personal details etc. They also annoyingly think this is Twitter and post silly gifs and photoshopped graphics instead of moving the debate about lolcows on.
The Mumsnetters have tended to drag in degenerate troons like Joss Prior who creates numerous socks on Mumsnet and the Farms to see what is being said about him.

Smh, nobody’s posted that scene from 30 Rock that perfectly encapsulates mommy blogs/forums. I’ll do the honors.

They're wine moms. They're the type of people who want police to confiscate scissors from schools. Mumsnetters have no understanding of the world they live in and no desire to learn any.

The Mumsnet terf forum (which back in the day probably discussed bra burning, before they discovered trannies) was at one time a bigger cross-over with terfs on Twitter.

But Twitter brought in new rules to stop you being mean about trannies

https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/27/18113344/twitter-trans-user-hateful-content-misgendering-deadnaming-ban

and then Reddit GenderCritical a few months ago got b&, which was probably bigger than the terfen forum on Mumsnet

https://theswaddle.com/reddit-bans-2000-forums-for-hate-speech-but-bans-dont-stop-extremist-rhetoric/

Now they have the sadly named 'ovarit' https://ovarit.com/o/GenderCritical/

and terf twitter https://spinster.xyz/

You do have to distinguish between 'Mumsnet' and the 'Mumsnet terf forum'. There's probably not that much overlap between those looking for school recommendations and breast feeding advice and some of the barren cat ladies on the terf forum - a lot of those will have joined Mumsnet purely to bitch about trannies.

 

[bluegenius8585]

I don't post there but I do like reading the TransWidows stuff, it is interesting to see accounts of the impact troons have on their wives and children. Its not something covered in the media at all

Also as a gluten for punishment as I am in the process of adopting a kid with my better half I do read some of the bizarre rants about fortnite or paw patrol or whatever on there, mostly so I avoid being so overbearing lol

 

[trannyfucker]

Just a datapoint FWIW, but I started a new thread on the Mumsnet TERF forum using a burner email & random VPN. They b& my account. My thread is still up tho, and is all fine and in compliance with other TERF stuff on the site.

I'm not sure what's going on there, but at a guess they check all new posters starting threads there and ban them if there are any kind of flags (my email was a disposable one, IDK if they googled it or what).

There is generally there a policy about trolling that if someone posts some ridiculous troll fake story in some other part of the site, then if it's an established poster who has changed their username they'll say 'we checked behind the scenes and we have no reason to doubt'. and if it's a new poster they'll delete it.

Well since this thread has been necro'd I guess we might as well see how the pandemic is going for the girls!

Oh dear.

It seems it's not only the DC that were causing trouble during the first lockdown, as back in May outrage erupted over a TikTok made by British singer Olly Murs that endangered women everywhere.

Surprisingly there hasn't been much conspiracy talk of the pandemic, so well done to the DM's for that! That said, there's certainly been some awful things happening to innocent mums lately, such as:

A mum is shocked to find out that a random Tesco employee can't just reduce a pair of shoes!

Good afternoon! I would like to ask for a recommendation regarding a reliable kindergarten. We have recently moved to the UK. We lived in New York City before. There was one of the best daycare centers in Brooklyn called Little Scholars. Kids have an intensive educational program there. So, my son and I want to continue school preparation here in the UK, but we can't find a daycare center that suits us. Where do your kids go? Are there any good school preparation daycares that are working now?
