Just wanted to rant really. My parents are visiting and every time I bf my 8 week old ds they tell me he doesn't need feeding.
'Oh he can't need more milk!'
'Here let me walk about with him'
'He just needs distracting'
'Does he really want feeding again?!'
'You shouldn't feed him when he has hiccups'.
Argh! It's driving me mad. I'm feeding on demand. I know his hungry cues. I don't want to wait until he's screaming! I'm very happy cluster feeding in the evenings. It doesn't bother me at all. I bf my dd until she was 2 years old. I know what I'm doing. I wish they'd let me get on with it and stop trying to be 'helpful'. I know they just want more baby cuddles. They don't get to see the kids very often.
Sorry rant over.
