[ChubbyScotsBurd]

My HV called me a 'Jersey' in response to DS's impressive weight gain

[MrsBadger]

I got lots of positive comments when feeding dd in Morocco - mostly along the lines of 'isn't she lucky, it's so sad to see so many babies with bottles these days'

[sherazade]

nobody in real life has EVER said anything nice to me about breastfeeding

[DaisyNightingale]

My doctor praised me yesterday for still BFing at 25 weeks and told me to "keep up the good work"

[sophierosie]

I was lucky enough to only receive positive comments about bf my DD. Ranging from how well she's growing - you both look so well - and isn't she sleeping well at night must be the bm!

[yelnats]

MY Health Visitor always tells me how well I've done and how well DD2 is doing. Mind you she is one of the only people who have told me that = dd2 is 9 and a half months. People round me are starting to think Im weird for still feeding her

[Mrsei25]

i BF my DD until she was 6 months and heard a massive range of comments good and bad
i had a woman say i was amazing!!
i also had a woman with a v. small child call me disgusting!! i just laughed at her and said i know i must have forgot to change my bra before i came out... she looked puzzled and walked away!!
i was told that my child would be extremely intelligent (i was a visibly proud mummy nat that one!!)
i was also told that my baby was fat because my diet must have been making my BM fatty by a HV!! my DD was on the 95th percentile from birth and has steadily stayed there right up until now ( shes 22months) i said are you stupid?? a newborn cant be called fat!! and she apologised hastily!!
i have had the various keep up the good work comment etc!!
i think it is the most natural thing in the world and so you should think it is amazing that you can singlehandedly keep another life healthy just by whippin out a bap every few hours!! (im a BF'er cant you tell!!)

no one has ever said anything. have gotten smiles from people along with disapproving glances unfortunately. (in mamas and papas cafe of all places from women) and i always feed with ds and norks covered with a shawl...so goodness only knows what their issue was.
am not surprised that more women dont bfeed. out of approx 10 women in the cafe only 2 us were bfeeding.

When feeding DD at a family party, cousin's four-year-old daughter came over to stare at DD nosily suckling away. After enquiring whether my 'boobies had milk in them', she concluded ' THAT is really clever'.

[weeonion]

numerous. it has been one of the most validating expereinces (as well as one of the toughest!)

my mum and wee sis have both said how proud i am. we are not a demonstrative family - it meant so much to me. wee sis is now determined to bf when/ if she has a bubba.

[DaisyNightingale]

aw sleepycat, that is just lovely
