\"breastfeeding<\/a>

If you cannot say anything nice to breastfeeding moms, it is better not to say a word.(Photo Credits: Pinodita.com cc: Some rights reserved)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There already are a lot of versions of this kind of top ten. I thought of coming out with mine, culling them from my own experience. Obviously I shrugged off these comments and did not give it much thought, since I am here, nearing my fourth year of extended feeding. (ETA: Please pardon my crankiness, i may have writte this during a time when i have been barraged by comments about my decision to nurse my child way past her toddlerhood).
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So here goes my top ten things you should never say to breastfeeding moms:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. \u201cAren\u2019t you getting uncomfortable with that, how can you leave the house?\u201d <\/b>\u2013 Obviously, this does not lend support to breastfeeding moms who are struggling with the first few weeks of their child. These are the hardest weeks of breastfeeding because the mom is still learning how to nurse. Comments like this should never be said, and besides, has this person heard about a breast pump?<\/span><\/div>\n
2. \u201cHow long will you be nursing him?\u201d<\/b> \u2013 This is the question I get asked the most! My goodness, now that i’m on extended mode (little is way past three!) I wanted to answer this question with a retort \u2013 \u201cwill nurse her up until college if she wants to!\u201d do not ask this question unless the person hired you as their breastfeeding coach.<\/span><\/div>\n
3. \u201cGoodness she has a lot of teeth already, doesn\u2019t she bite you?\u201d<\/b> \u2013 this is the second most frequently asked question that I get. \u00a0Yes my daughter bit me when she was getting used to having teeth. Yes she bites me at times. But she and I have an understanding already that if she does it on purpose, she will not have any of it again!<\/span><\/div>\n
4. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you switch her to bottle feeding so you can have your life back again\u201d \u2013 <\/b>whoever said I lost my life?<\/span><\/div>\n
5. \u201cYou can pump\/nurse in the bath stall\u201d<\/b> \u2013 unless you\u2019d enjoy devouring your meal in the confines of a germy place like the CR, do not ever hint that my child could devour hers in a public bathroom stall. Shame on you, with a capital S!<\/span><\/div>\n
6. \u201cWon\u2019t that pump destroy your boobies?\u201d \u2013 <\/b>why would it, and why do you care?<\/span><\/div>\n
7. \u201cA great tip I heard about weaning the child from the breast is to put something spicy or bitter on the nipples,\u201d<\/b> \u2013 excuse me Miss\/missus, am I discussing my weaning plans with you? And who are you to recommend such traumatic experience for my baby? Why don’t you give your \u2018expert\u2019 advice a try.<\/span><\/div>\n
8. \u201cI know you are doing this to shed off the extra weight\u201d \u2013 <\/span><\/b>Number one this is not true for me, because in fact, I have gained a lot more poundage because I kept on eating whenever I get hungry. And if it were the reason why other BFing moms are doing it, their kids are benefiting from it still. Besides it is NOYDB (none of your D*mned Business!)<\/span><\/div>\n
9. \u201cYou should not be nursing when you are tired,\u201d<\/b> \u2013 folklore or elderly advice. I really appreciate the concern, but this has no scientific basis whatsoever, and is just preventing children of working moms (whether work at home of office based, or even tired stay at home moms) from getting the best milk ever!<\/span><\/div>\n
10.\u201d Aren\u2019t you scared your boobs will sag?\u201d<\/b>\u2013 To this idiotic and vain question, I answer, \u201cboobs are not just for attracting men or for sex or for looks.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
Good luck breastfeeding mommies, and let\u2019s continue breastfeeding in spite of the snarky comments we get every day! As one of my forum mates say, “ituloy ang misyon”
