who from? Real life people or people on here?
Just ignore them, it's absolutely your choice .. You can feed him spag Bol if you like it's not up to anyone else! Why do people feel they have to comment on things are are absolutely none of their business

Real life people, people on here wouldn't bother me

My neighbour who doesn't have children said I am doing him harm by giving him formula, I said to her if I was doing him harm the mw would have called SS

She even asked Martin if I was bf, I mean really? What is the obsession with my boobs she heard me talking to my other neighbour who we are quite friendly with saying my milk had come in and my boobs were hurting ... you know normal neighbour chat but anyway she piped up when I hung the washing out just, if you aren't bf why has your milk come in I told her so I could have it on my cereal and walked off

Good answer!
That annoys me even more when people that haven't even had children can offer their opinions!! Grrr
Of course it's doing no harm, just ignore them And carry on. We all do stuff That other people don't agree with but it's our babies ..our choice!

Pink, I know it's hard, but ignore them!! what exactly is the best way to feed your baby? I mean, people give mothers crap for breastfeeding in public, and people give mothers crap for ff. We can't make everyone happy! You just need to make your baby happy and you do that how YOU feel you should! Sometimes moms choose to ff like you have, others try to bf and can't therefore have to ff, and then there are those that are able to bf. I won't lie, bf'ing has been very hard for us!! I tried with my oldest but he wouldn't latch on and they told me to supplement with formula so I did. That allowed my milk to diminish and I felt horrid I couldn't bf him longer. If your neighbor had said something like that to me, I probably would have smacked her because it wasn't my fault we couldn't get him latched on properly. I don't have a problem with those moms that choose ff'ing. I've almost given up multiple times bf'ing Coltyn and thinking about formula. But then I say no, I need to push through it and keep it up. Tell her to shove off and you raise your baby! You are the mother and you know what is best for your baby!!

Lol..my daughter is only 5 wks today and my husband asks if we're going to start trying for another soon...is he crazy??!

abagail, we aren't preventing another. I just finished my first cycle after giving birth. It was a strange cycle as it was very light and I had never had one that light. But I have already bought my IC tests. With bf'ing I didn't know if I'd have a cycle or not so went on and purchased them.

 

[JJsmom]

Coltyn is 7 weeks old now! I can't believe it! He has started copying me 2 nights ago. I was talking to my husband and shook my head at something he said and Coltyn started shaking his head. Now he smiled at me after I smiled!! Here is a pic! I'm just so happy he is smiling while he's awake!

congrats panda! so sorry you had a difficult labour, hope recovery goes smoothly!

kaths , sounds like you've got some quick thinking answers up your sleeves , non of their business how you feed your baby! unless you were giving him spag bol...then maybe a SS referral should be made

jjs wow to not preventing! have to say I can't imagine DH coming near me anytime soon, however once I am ready again i'd not be sad if I fell pregnant again, although my head will win over my heart and we won't try for another for a while yet, but i'm really hoping No.3 is in the future

who said boobies will be like bullets? LOVE it! so true though, I've barely had sore nips at all this time, only slightly when he fed all night once but no damage was done so they soon recovered! with alex I bled, blistered etc etc for WEEKS! I still have very obvious scars on them from the damage he did!

 

[BeccaMichelle]

LOL on your cereal! I would never have the nerve to say that and I'd have no clue how to respond if someone said it to me. You're a braver soul than I am!

Don't worry, people would annoy you just the same if you were BFing. You'd get those looks like, 'why do you have your boob out in public. You totally should cover up or go hide somewhere' or 'why are you nursing so much? he can't be hungry, you're making yourself a human pacifer.' blah blah blah. damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just keep up with your witty retorts and you'll be fine as will your boys.

It wasn't me that posted about ff ...'twas pinkflowers, I'm bf too but maybe my comment about the spag Bol was a little OTT .. I should start a thread on baby club saying I'm feeding my baby spag Bol and watch it erupt! Lol
I said boobies are like bullets, I've been a bit sore after marathon feeding sessions but nothing like last time.. I actually had tears in my eyes every time he latched! I haven't even touched the laninsoh that I stocked up on

 

[caro103]

Ah opps sorry for getting u guys muddled pink flowers and Kath!! Was v sleep deprived yesterday ;-)

So true though, def get people make comments/give looks no matter how u feed your baby. It'll happen once weaning too... How's it safe to do baby lead weaning? Surely u shouldn't give then pouches? What, u make your own baby food...what a lot of effort at the end of the day its up to each mummy

Well we had a MUCH better night! Was only up 12, 3.30 then 6.30! Co-slept after he woke at 12 so dozed. Then he slept on me, but by morning I'd managed to get him to just sleep on my arm. And I woke up soaked...just shows how much milk he normally takes as other mornings my boobs haven't even felt full! Xx

 

[Pink Flowers]

Glad you had a better night. Henry was really unsettled from 1-3.30 and then he was fast asleep and oliver had a tanturm at 5 to 6 and woke him up. I am knackered. Martin told me to stay in bed lol.

I got so many comments about blw with oliver. Omg he will chock, what do you mean he eats what you do and what he feeds himself isnt that messy...

 

[Miss Bellum]

We had a fairly good night last night now I just hope Ellie goes for a nap soon so I can shower! She is doing so well now, lifting her head up, starting to smile and she is starting to babble too! Such a cutie

Pinkflowers - Love the cereal response !

I do think people should mind their own business when it comes to feeding babies. Every mum makes the decision to feed their baby in the way that works best for them.

jjsmom - What a cutie! Glad Coltyn is doing so well.

carol103 - Glad you had a better night, I find it all seems much better if you can grab some sleep.

We don't plan on taking any preventive measures either but I'm hoping I don't ovulate for awhile as I can't imagine being pregnant again right now! I definitely do want to have a sibling for her close in age though

 

[Jaz02]

Hi Ladies!! Hope you are all well

I thought I would drop in and update for the list, even though I barely ever had time to post in here much during my pregnancy due to working/sickness.

I was due July 22nd but our little boy Hunter McKenzie was born on July 14th 2013 @ 38+6 weighing 8lb 6oz

He is our third child and first boy! We are totally in love with him

Anyone else in here on baby number #3?

 

[Pink Flowers]

Congratulations xx

 

[Pink Flowers]

Does any one else get annoyed by the oh snoring next to them

M snores and then will stir as henry starts to feed then makes out he is up and down like I am lol!

 

[kaths101]

Congrats jaz on your baby boy, I will update the first page!

 

[pitty]

We had a lot of trouble ttc our 1st child, 2 years of doctors and drugs and operations, we fell with our daughter, so we didn't prevent after she was born, and guess what I now have a 12month old and a newborn, I'm one busy mum, lol

 

[Pink Flowers]

Wow! Congrats!
