breastfeeding is nasty??

[kaidenjmom]

Not judging, just saying. I was talking to my cousin, (I'm 23, she is 28). And I was reeking her that I breastfed my son and I plan to do the same for my daughter. She was like really?? That is so nasty to me. Especially for girls.....??? I was like well it's a natural part of life and it was the only way to feed a newborn for the longest. She was like she would pump if it didn't take so long but she will never latch her baby on her breast because it feels nasty.
Here is my take. This world makes everything so nasty and tabboo. When actually some things are as normal as a plant growing into a tree. I feel like the women and men who find breastfeeding disgusting are so used to a woman's body being overly sexualized by society. Women get plastered all over TV with boob and booty showing, but you rarely see a guy showing some balls or penis. To me, this world is slowly crumbling.
In no way am I bashing anyone who chooses not to breastfed, I'm just appalled by the things we register as  nasty. Anything could happen at any time. And if formula was somehow tainted and could not be used for months until they figured out what was happening to it, some mothers would have NO way to feed their baby because their milk would be gone...when we are equipped to be able to feed baby at the drop of a dime.

Lol, hope none of that was directed at me, because my comment was definitely directed at you.   My point was that neither side should be judgmental

Just show this to anyone who finds breast feeding wrong or nasty

The people that get offended by this feel guilty themselves. I felt guilty when I couldn't bfeed mine.

And no one was talking about people who can't breastfeed for medical reasons. I never said formula was  bad or wrong. I really wish people would add **** that had nothing to do with my post.

I never once said everyone should breastfeed, never said that every woman should latch their baby.....NOT ONCE. So please get offended about something else, NOT anything that I said. I simply said that to think breastfeeding PERIOD is nasty is the result of the society we live in. I even said that I used to find it kind of weird..... I truly hate when people turn something into a judgmental thing. Breastfeed if you like, don't if you don't like. Damn.

Not all women are physically able to breastfeed bc of illness, medication, milk not coming in, raw nipples, ect. and not all women choose to breastfeed.  Its a choice and not an indicator of good vs bad mothering. No one should feel guilty bc they don't want to just like no one should call it nasty.  Its important to take guilt/judgment out of the equation.  Everyone should feel free to do w their boobs as they see fitm
