The bonus of being a boob
Review of Member Advice on Breastfeeding by lorriellah

Advantages: free, convinient, satisfying, bonding
Disadvantages: unable to know how much baby has had, can be painful at first

Breast Feeding Breast feeding has many benefits for both mother and baby and at the moment the bonuses of this way of feeding your baby is trying to be pushed by the health system to become more popular. At the moment bottle feeding dominates the feeding of babies and this trying to be turned around by the government and the health care system. Breast feeding, however, is very difficult and people can experience many problems with establishing ...
...you some tips and advice from what I have learnt. I didn't know anything about breast feeding before I had my baby and I didn't want to hear the 'facts' from professionals as I felt as though they were just trying to reach targets and weren't giving me the full information. I would much rather have had the information given to me by new mum's who would be more open and honest so I would know more about what to expect. one fact which I was told at ... Read review

its about taking each day as it comes.
Review of Member Advice on Coping with Death by sarima

Advantages: idk
Disadvantages: idk

It is really strange "reviewing" this, coping with death or with any loss isn't exactly a quantifiable (is that even a word) product or item that I can give a rating too. It's a deep, overwhelming pain that only someone in a similar siutation can relate to. I didn't even know about ciao cafe until I was browsing through ciao today and somehow seeing this I felt i had to write, having had to cope with the death of my father and in many ways that of ...
...to give some comforting words of hope, or just an experience to allow people in this situation not to feel desperately alone. because lonliness is often something i feel/or felt just after it happened, even though my mother and brother and others were grieving the same person and the same event the grief i felt was mine and mine alone. The exact emotions I was feeling were very different to those of my mother who was mourning her husband and companinion ... Read review

What Doesnt Break Us, Can Only Make Us Stronger - Bullying.
Review of Member Advice on Bullying by beccar13

Advantages: It Really Can Make You Stronger
Disadvantages: It breaks you, Lowers Your Self-Esteem Etc/

Bullying As an only child of 13 that lives with her mum and doesnt know her dad, I've generally been through a lot. Im not really the type of girl you would expect to have ever been bullied. Im loud sometimes, like to laugh, have lots of friends, outspoken, cheeky, smart and many more things. But yes, I have been bullied. I think that bullying is thought a lot of in our communities, especially in our schools. They have anti-bullying programs ...
...got bullied, not physically, thank god, but mentally. I was criticized and judged because i was good at something. In the long run, it made me mad, not upset, i got worse at what i was good at, thought lowly of myself but most of all, I was breaking! It ruined my self-confidence but my friends and family have re-built it. If the problem is at school, not like mine, i would advise telling your parent/ guardian but unless it is a terrible situation, ... Read review

Do you need to get married to commit to each other
Review of Member Advice on Marriage by rojm

Advantages: it depends on the people
Disadvantages: it also depends on the people

The Definition of Marriage Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged by a variety of ways, depending on the culture or demographic. Such a union may also be called matrimony, while the ceremony that marks its beginning is usually called a wedding and the marital structure created is known as wedlock. ...
...is at an all time low although the media says that marriage remains the most stable environment for bringing up children and unmarried couples are 6 and a half times more likely to split once a child is born............................Why is this? Most people don't really care about stats when deciding to marry or not so it must be the attitudes of people that live together, ie they don't see it as a permanent thing. Apparently a child of a married ... Read review

How To Cope With Heartbreak
Review of Member Advice on Break-ups by MCFruitbat

Advantages: Once you've dealt with this, you can deal with anything
Disadvantages: Almost unbearable pain

Breaking up from a loving relationship can be the worst experience of your entire life. How you react depends on several factors including your own personality and past experiences as well as the nature of the relationship that has ended. In the worst cases, sufferers of what I will call "heartbreak" for want of a better word can become depressed (clinical, real depression as opposed to the sort you suffer when your football team loses) and even ...
...it's too much; the weight of the pain is too great for them to carry and they break down. Some people will only suffer in this way for a matter of days; others may take years to get themselves back to normal. Some people never make it. It is common for people who are going through this trauma to believe that no-one else in the history of the world has ever felt as desperately sad as they do. This leads to a feeling of isolation which exacerbates ... Read review
