Firstly..Not a dig at those ff..
But i went round "mil" earlier and her neice who is a year older than myself is pregnant and due in a few months..Mil mentioned that she isnt going to breastfeed just going straight to the bottle..
Im not entirely surprised as none of OH's family have ever breastfed..his mum or his aunty never did..his nan didnt..she even advised me to stop after a few weeks..luckily oh has been incredibly supportive with me bf after i talked him round and he is very pro it now..i dont think he wants me to stop ever!
I suppose part of me hoped she would have noticed that ive breastfed lo and consider it..because i know just how much it has benefited my LO..i have such a passion about breastfeeding now and i feel really dissapointed that she isnt even willing to give it a go..I feel sad that because none of her family have ever been willing to breastfeed..that she isnt even going to give it a try..I just want to message her telling her she should try it! But i doubt itd go down well..she never seems to talk to me when i see her..
I just feel dissapointed that its still seen as something that some women just dont want to even try..not even once..they just think its disgusting..i cant understand it
