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.

I'm currently breastfeeding my newborn girl and I don't think it's nasty in any way.

Omg! Wow that's crazy! I knew a girl who wouldn't breastfeed her son because it was gross. Which honestly made me mad because it's what mothers can do for there babies. But some people are just like that. They see their breasts as sexual objects rather than for their babies.

OK so I have to say that I am on the fence about  breastfeeding and it has nothing to do with viewing my boobs as sexual objects!  Not even a little bit. The process just makes me uncomfortable,  I don't understand why you can't just use a pump n put it in a bottle. Yes people have said the milk will dry up ect. But to make someone feel like it's wrong or they are being less of a parent because they aren't excited to strap a kid to their chest is wrong! You can't understand how everyone thinks or why they think it, I just hate how if someone has a different view on here they are made to feel like they are lacking knowledge or in some way inadequate. We are all individuals with our own opinions that I think it would be nice to be able to express with out fear of someone chastising us because we don't feel the exact same way.

Omg. Breastfeeding is completely natural & the best thing for Your baby. Formulas are made in an effort to mimic breastmilk. Breastfeeding itself is not nasty that's a fact not an opinion. Before there were bottles,  their were boobs. I don't care what anybody opinion is about breastfeeding really. I've breastfed all of mine & plan to do the same with ny third. Perverts make it weird or seem nasty.

Im on so many meds unfortunately i cant breast feed. And this is my last child. When i heard that i about crumbled myself , because it hurt me... i think its completley natural and if you "choose" not to do it ypur extreamly lucky bbecause theres wemon out there that look forward to that. It breaks my heart.. god bless guys.

I completely agree with you! I think it's completely natural and a wonderful thing.. My thought back in the day when formula wasn't around what did they do back then? But to each there own! I understand if you can't because of medical reason.. But just cause you think it's nasty it's the best thing for the baby! I'm going to try my hardest to breastfeed but if I can't I have a breast pump and will at least pump and bottle fed that way!
