to cringe at the term " boobing the baby "

[anxiousmumma12]

Hear it so much on mumsnet

' boob milk "
' boob the baby '

Yuck yuck so cringe

Just say breast feeding or breast milk

I do not like the word yuck.
My two year old does.

We're all different OP.

Yes but your feeding the baby not boobing it haha

I agree, it’s so disgusting. Although I did see ‘milky cuddles’ on here once which almost made me vomit!

Milky cuddles !?
How can you have one it's just a cuddle 1

Using your incorrectly is worse imo.

It’s you’re btw OP

teddy

The grammar police .
I am ever so sorry for the mistake

YANBU! Haven't heard it before but sounds awful!

tit

Thank you for correcting me

I heard "Pass the arse wipes" in baby changing in Debenhams once

Well come on! If you’re going to take the piss out of people for using words, use the correct ones yourself

I used to get disproportionately angry when DH would thrust DD1 at me whenever she cried (regardless of reason) and say ‘put her on the boob! Give her the boob!’ So YANBU if someone else is saying it but I think it’s ok if people are referring to their own

Never heard it tbh!!. When I bf my ds my dd's called it booby juice!! They were 8+9!!

Sorry posted too soon.

If people are referring to their own breasts.

I always say 'boobing' or 'baby loves the boob'
'I'm just going to boob the baby'
I think it's funny. 🤷🏽‍♀️ breast feeding sounds a bit clunky. Doesn't flow off the tongue easily.

Booby juice is also yuck .

It's breast milk . Milk not juice

I hate "change his/her bum" more.

"I need to change their bum"
"His bum needs changing"

You're not changing a bum, you're changing a nappy. It sounds so common.

Yes that to .
Your changing a nappy !

I say boobing and boob the baby. I have stopped saying it in public though as I saw another thread on here where people were complaining about it!

Don't forget to ask the baby if it's OK to change it first remember...

I hate the term boobing. I don’t know why but it makes me feel queasy.

Oh god, milky cuddles is sending shivers up my spine. So twee sounding.

My DP used to sing a creepy song over the baby monitor to freak me out when we had Dd1 (to one of the wretched jumperoo tunes). Think a sort of slytherin type voice:

It went, "[baby] liketh thucking mummy'th boobieth. [baby] liketh thucking. Thucking a booby"...

And there's nothing you can do about it from another room Luckily he's far too exhausted with the toddler to do it this time around!!

I agree, I don’t know why but I just hate it. Baby “loves the boob” or “is on the boob” also makes me cringe.

Not as much as people who call their husbands “hubby” or the worst yet...

THE HUBSTER 🤢🤢🤢

@Break

That’s really really disturbing..... it sounds pseudo sexual too... is he jealous, or trying to make you feel weird about breastfeeding so you stop?
