Mum - get a grip, BFing is totally natural and a beautiful thing to do! Just because you have weird issues that meant you couldn't even entertain the idea doesn't mean that the rest of the world shouldn't do it too.
my MIL is totally against breastfeeding! she was sooo against me BFing DD that she bought bottles, steriliser and first milk and gave me it all before DD was born so that she would know it was there in those first few days when BF is the hardest!
silly moo! im going to BF again this time and hope i make her feel sooo uneasy that she wont visit often!
lol xx
Get one of those crazy breastfeeding dolls for you oldest too, that'll make your MIL feel REALLY uncomfortable!
great idea!! iv been wondering what present to get DD from the baby, this would be an amazing present, both for her to understand what im doing and to make MIL uncomfortable! especially since when anyone comes to visit they have to play mummys with DD! that would be hilarious!
If you end up doing that you HAVE to tell me about it because I think it would be hilarious! I can just imagine right now your DD with her new doll convincing your MIL to put the vest on and feed baby
camera at the ready!
il deffo get 1, DD doesn't understand breastfeeding, she has bottles for her dolly so it would b great 4 her! iv only seen them on american sites, anyone know were to get them in the uk? xx
I don't know about where to get one here but I just remembered I heard they're quite expensive so if you didn't want to go all out buying the real one you could always just make your own vest part and put it with a regular doll maybe?
Oh and you might check amazon for one they seem to have everything! Or ebay maybe?
i looked on ebay as amazon didnt have them and they were £60 odd pound not including the delivery of about £25! :O gobsmacked! luckily i have a mum who makes up for not seeing faith regularly with presents hehe usually this is annoying, but iv just told her that i think faith would love 1, so she can be the idiot to spend that much on a doll lol!
Thankyou for offering to pick me 1 up tho! so kind
i doubt a neighbour would go pick up a pint of milk from the shop for me on their way home from school run etc, never mind anything from further afield!
now i have to think of something else as the present off the baby for DD!
btw if you need a good laugh in october then keep an eye out for a thread full of pics of a horrified MIL, im not even going to attempt to hide myself BFing baby, i have bought slings and covers and nursing tops etc but when she visits im going to throw on a blouse so that i have to undo the buttons enough to get my boob out and feed baby in plain sight hahaha OH will be at the ready with the camera and we will deffo have to post all the pics of her face! i wonder if her face will get less horrified as time goes on and she gets used to it or if her face gets more horrified because she cant believe im still doing it! haha! LMAO i might tell her that the baby has a breastfeed of a morning and night until she reaches about 7! that would be a great horrified face! either that or we can nickname babys fave ted or blankie as boobie so that she always asks for boobie! that would probably have MIL running for the hills lmao! o this has cheered me up no end! xxxxx
