breastfeeding is nasty??
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.

actually if formula were ti disappear its relativly easy to get your milk supply back I'm not saying its easy for everyone but u just start drinking mothers milk tea and having them suckle and your milk will start coming back that is in fact what they're made for.
To be honest at the beginning I thought breastfeeding was kind of not weird but uncomfortable but if it what it takes to help my baby I'll do it without thinking how it feels & like u said its part of nature just like animals. I think it'll be weird if our breast milk came out anywhere else like our fingers lol
I completely agree! This world we live in is just spiraling down, getting worse an worse each day! :/ when I first found out I was prego I thought it would be awkward at first especially since this is my first baby. But I started thinking about it an all that really matters is that it's what's best for my baby an how selfish I was being for even thinking of not doing it. I quickly changed my mind! Haha an I'm definitely going to breastfeed my baby:)
And for the mothers who will not breastfed foot anything because obviously, breasts ate for men to fondle, how does that help the baby? I understand what you are talking about, but some women will not even think about giving their milk to their child. That was basically my point.
Well said. This world is turning into a nasty place.i breastfed for 6wks on my first.ended up stopping because it was so demanding and i could not get a routine going but at least i gave her the best for the first 6wks. This time i am having a section this thursday and plan to breastfeed but for longer than 6wks.why not want to give your baby the best start in life? Also we just found out all the water where we live has been contaminated with kerrosene oil so we have all been told not to drink it or bottle feed, babies with formula. Im not saying breastfeeding is for everyone but i do think every woman should read up on the benefits before judging or making up their mind and for them to be open minded about it.
I was the same way ladies. With my first, I had intentions on breastfeeding, but I always felt like it would feel awkward. Then when my son was born only 3lbs, and I couldn't breastfed him for a whole month, the first time I got to do it, it felt so natural. Now it's a nobrainer. I'm sure most of us have that feeling initially because of how sexualized the woman body is.
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!
Breast milk may be beat for the baby, but there is nothing wrong with formula either. Keep in mind there are nutrients you get in formula that you don't get from breast milk. I plan to breast feed my baby but its not always possible for every mom to do so, especially since we now live in a society where many women work and that makes breastfeeding difficult. I understand they can always pump but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Everyone is entitled to their own choices, if a woman doesn't want to breast feed that's fine, if they do that's great. But again to each their own.
This really is a foolish society...I will breastfeed my baby..there are sooo many benefits..after all God did not gives us breasts for men but to nourish our offspring..we can learn alot from animals..omg thats totally ridiculous to say that its gross...
And its really not an opinion its fact that breast milk is better..now do I think its wrong for mothers to formula feed no but dont judge something dp natural by saying its gross..akward yes it is for some people but not gross...jus sayin
I have to agree... the world today think of breast as a sexual tool.. and not something that is natural and ment for feeding infants. Honestly I think that breast feeding is the way to go. But people have their own veiws of it. I would never think it is gross in anyway. I think it is a beautiful process and those who do breast feed are very strong women. You shouldnt let others opinions cliud your judgement on what you think is right and wrong. It is definently.
I plan on breast feeding but I also plan on pumping as well so my baby daddy gets the bonding time as well with our son.
But like others say to each their own. And please just don't judge the people who are close to you because of their decision about how to raise their kid. You can make your own decisions when you have a child of your own. Be supportive.
Good luck mamas. And congrats on the babies :)

Agreed. I got bashed for feeding past a certain age let alone breastfeeding in general. I wish America had views like some other places where its the norm to breastfeed especially out in public without getting harassed about it. I'm not going to bash someone on formula feeding or for pumping so I shouldnt get bashed for feeding my baby from the tap.
Amen! Nothing against those who choose not to or can't but i will never understand how anyone can think breastfeeding is "nasty"!
All I have to say, to any woman is, if you're comfortable having your significant other latch you, you should be comfortable at least trying to nourish your baby. Disagree, it's okay. Just an opinion.
Before the time of formula all us women had was our breast to feed our children when they were first born. I'm breastfeeding and I don't care what anyone says. Its natural and ancient for women to breastfeed their baby or babies. Some people are so ignorant on things it annoys me.
YES! I dont get it bfing is nasty? Like pregnancy isnt nasty in alot of ways? Mucous plugs n bags of water n swelling n stretch marks n and being constipated for 9 months to poop during delivery? Sex cant be nasty? All kinds of fluids being swapped? Its all part of nature and bfing is how nature intended for human young to be fed!
Wow that shocked me I've never actually heard anyone says it's nasty. I find that weird I think breastfeeding is amazing.how perfect our bodies are made to grow and nurture a baby.
