To hate the term "boobing" for breastfeeding?

[legfaced]

Just that. What's wrong with calling it breastfeeding/feeding?

[lovelyleftrubbishright]

Yes, it's awful. It's up there with 'booby juice' for breast milk/milk!

[LetsJunglyJumpToIt]

I remember years ago a Dad saying to his baby 'Do you want some tit'?

WTAF? Still makes me cringe now.

[JinkxMonsoon]

Horrible.

"Keep on boobing!"

Aaaaargh.

[Mozfan1]

I've only ever read it on here. Bit cringe!

[CousinCharlotte]

Very uncouth.

A lot of parents, especially new mums, feel the need to give things stupid names and label everything they do when it comes to parenting.

It's not 'boobing' or 'booby juice' or 'on the boob' or 'boob monster' or 'booby milk' or 'booby time'

You are feeding your child. With milk.

Seriously, who really gives a shit.

[Jackie0]

Ive honest!y never heard that term

[SleepFreeZone]

I call it boob. My son calls it booby. I think it's quite cute 🙈

[imwithspud]

Meh, who cares?

[missm0use]

I always call it breastfeeding, think calling it by any other name only encourages people to take issue with it like voldermort lol!
Although when I talk to DD I call it milkies or milk and cuddles or sometimes boobie doobie - although that was is more OH nickname for it. Should point out that DD is 8 months!!

[KayTee87]

I've never heard anyone call it that! I sometimes ask my baby if he wants some mummy milk in a stupid voice but wouldn't do it in front of anyone else.

[BorpBorpBorp]

I have never heard it called that.

I thought 'boobing' was slapping someone in the face with your boob.

[liz70]

Yes, but then I abhor the word "boob" used for "breast" anyway. In my vocabulary a boob is a mistake.

[Soubriquet]

I really don't like it when I read pump/pumping

"I spent all morning pumping"

Gives me the creeps for some reason. It's just one of those words I don't like

[Notso]

I left a Facebook parenting group after someone got a T-shirt for their kid with
Cloth on my bum,
Boob juice in my tum,
Worn by my Mum
printed on it. So cringy. They all loved it though.

That has hit pretty much every cringe-button in my psyche.

I hate comedy words for breasts in general. It's as if women are slightly afraid of their own bodies and need joky words to infantilise them, or something? I always want to karate chop Gok bloody Won in the windpipe when he shrieks on about 'bam bams'.

[EvansAndThePrince]

I do see your point but you're not going to say to a baby/toddler "would you like to come and have some breast milk?"

My daughter calls it boobie, I call it boobie, we both know what we mean and it doesn't affect you in any way so YANU.

[Cheerfullygo4]

Can I add 'wearing' your baby. Your baby is not an item of clothing. Just don't get it. Irritating expression.

[limeandsoda93]

Don't mind boobing (although it's not the term I use) but I can't stand boobie juice. It's milk?!

[JinkxMonsoon]

Cloth on my bum,

Haha, that's the smug "mama" holy trinity

[Marmalade85]

Never heard of it but lolling at 'do you want some tit'

[leedy]

YANBU. And I speak as one of those weirdy natural term breastfeeders.

(DS2 calls it "milktime")

[kierenthecommunity]

I hate the phrase 'trust your tits' when it comes to BFing too. The word tits for breasts was probably last used in the On the Buses or Benny Hill era, and should stay firmly there. Even if it's used by women in some sort of reclaiming the word way.

[MilkTwoSugarsThanks]

It annoys the pants off me tbh. I also don't get the insistence on breast feeding. It's like virtue signalling. Just say "feeding".

Posters typing away "I'm sat here BFing..." STOP IT!!! "Feeding" is fine.
