12 month breastfeeding present?

[dadad2020]

Hi
My partner has mentioned golden boobs as an award for her breastfeeding our son solidly for 12 months.
Can anyone suggest a good present to mark the occasion? Thanks

Not something I would have liked personally but you can get breast milk jewellery.

I don’t hate this though. From Etsy.

You're wife sounds like hard work

@EssentialHummus I think for C-sections you'll find it's a golden belly, uterus, muscles, nerves generally the whole abdomen that's been cut open as it's MAJOR surgery and not to mention the psychological effect, some throw in the golden brain to.
Yours sincerely,

I think you should get the street to do a weekly doorstep clap for as long as she keeps breast feeding. Maybe topless in solidarity.

A present? For feeding her own baby? Wow.

That's a new one to me.

Maybe organise a beautiful dawn ceremony in a local woodland, with her and your child draped in natural linens, and surrounded by a cheering crowd as she feeds at exactly the 12 month mark.

Hotmilk do lovely nursing bras.

A nice bracelet or something?

Or is breast tissue the only gland that we link to a value judgement?

@StoneColdBitch how is it a value judgement to celebrate a year of breastfeeding? It means that one individual has made a great deal of sacrifice over 365 days which is no mean feat. We celebrate anniversaries which should be seen as something easy surely- being married to someone you love?
You sound quite bitter. Were you bottlefed?

Ridiculous

God sake, the haters on here

Someone else’s sense of achievement does not lessen your own you know.

Women do so much as wives and mothers and just generally good members of society - why shouldn’t we celebrate any success we bloody well want to.

I have no suggestions as these things are highly individual- I’d love a massage, a facial and a few cocktails on a night out with my mates, but that’s me.

Whatever it is, make sure it is accompanied by regular, genuine appreciation for her as a partner and a parent.

@EssentialHummus

Don't forget the Golden Fanny for having birthed him. Not quite sure of the equivalent for c-sections... hmm.

The golden apron/overhang

I can’t stand all the negativity. A woman has asked her partner to give her a present to mark something that is significant to them. Breastfeeding and mothering are not given the respect they deserve in our society so this kind of present shouldn’t be mocked or belittled. Nor should any communication between partners asking for what they need or want.

@Ohpulltheotherone sorry for xpost- took me so long to type it. But I agree!

Not heard of this, but think it's a nice idea. Babies are hard and a bit of a thank you or acknowledgement for whatever milestone you choose is great.

I think it’s sweet to mark it if it’s special to her.

People aren't haters, it's just that the whole idea is really stupid...

Aww. Get her a gift. She sounds like she might like a breastfeeding photo shoot. Or maybe the right time to get her an eternity ring. To some it may seem twee but if it’s important to your wife that’s what matters.

I think it was the "golden boobs" that made the idea sound a bit silly..

Strange and materialistic IMNVHO. Your well-nourished child is surely the reward? Not some trinket?

Op for what's it's worth I think it's really nice that you are recognising what a sacrifice she's made for your child. Maybe a voucher for a massage or facial would be nice ?

Nice idea. There is a company called Little keepsakes online that do lovely bracelets. I am sure you would find something nice.

Ah thank you for the laugh (especially the AA achievement marks) 🤣.

I guess I had mine too long ago, no babyshower, no cesarean rings, no birth bracelet and certainly no breastfeeding gold.

Some people know how to milk it .
