" how long are you planning on breastfeeding for " - my ds is 5 months, but people (family members, all dhs family not mine) have been asking constantly.
Dhs father also makes inappropriate comments everytime i feed ds. As a family, dhs included, we always joke and take the piss a bit out of each other, but his comments are grating on me. He will say "aare your boobs out again?" " or everyones seen them now" etc. And he said something that really irritated me quite early on about how i needed to "make an informed descision " about breastfeeding (the context was me trying to explain why my ebf newborn was up every 2 hours feeding- to their dismay- trying to tell me i obviously wasnt producing enough milk, and me explaining that i had seen a lactation consultant snd ahe said bf was going brilliantly) and hes a bloody paramedic - he should know better, he obviously thought he knew best (despite having no experience of bf as dhs mum didnt.)
Everytime ds is hungry dhs father will say to dhs mother, "oh go warm a bottle" even though i breastfeed and i say "no its ok im feeding him, i just get met with a snarky look.
I dont know how long i will breastfeed for but why the flying fudge should it matter!
