12 month breastfeeding present?

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

@NoNobramma

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?

I just find the whole concept bizarre. I’ve seen some mothers break it down into very fine gradients - see the attached picture I found online. We don't celebrate other parenting milestones like this. I did breastfeed my children, though not for a year. I'm not bitter about the lack of a golden boobie award though Confused

Ooh! I’m a superstar breast feeder! To be honest, mine is just down to laziness.

I’m going to ask DH for a T-shirt
“I breastfed my son for 13 months and I got were these lousy boobs and t-shirt”

@BettyCarver

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.
@BettyCarver my tits could probably do the clapping at this stage to be fair...

If your baby had been formula fed instead, you might have spent around £1000 on formula / bottles / teats / sterilising equipment etc. (disclaimer - this will vary quite a bit depending on how hungry your baby is or what products you use).

So perhaps use that as an idea of how much you should spend on the Golden Boobs?

Well no one told me, what do I get for breastfeeding for 10 years with no gap (different children before anyone says anything 😂)
Glad you clarified that, was having flashbacks to Game of Thrones and Robin of the Vale! 😂
