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

Why do people "report" threads that they don't like? It's like being in the playground and shouting "I'M TELLING......MISSSSSS"

Op isn't nasty at all. Might I suggest, that people getting irrationally angry might need more sleep?

Husky because the OP's comments aren't aimed at you, and you are in agreement, you're not perceiving them as nasty.

Ok well on that basis because you disagree with me you are nasty as well

Loving the judgment at breastfeeding a 2 year old. Obviously it's for the mothers benefit and nothing to do with the child's health (see recommendations from WHO etc etc)
No wonder the breastfeeding rates are so low in this country. You parent the way you parent, stop judging other people's methods.

Totally!! Hate the thought process in regards to breastfeeding and its not suprising that hardly any babies are fed past 6 months, let alone 12.

The benefits for mum and baby are huge way past a year or later and its so hard to ignore all the negative comments to continue when it feels like society will judge you either way and some of the comments on this thread prove it.

I don't disagree with you, I do things differently to you. WITHOUT judging you.

There’s lots of things other parents do that I wouldn’t do myself. Probably best not to mention it unless it’s specifically being discussed and not a ‘lighthearted’ thread. The way that this conversation has miraculously turned to extended feeding is somewhat suspicious OP, it’s like you were just waiting to pounce, because actually this thread has nothing to do with it. It would be like someone coming on here and saying ‘oh I’d never feed my baby follow on milk....don’t you know it’s just a marketing scam and a totally unnecessary product’? I dare say they’d be accused of judging too.

@Huskylover1 yeah I do go to my 4 YO in the night if he calls out because he's having a nightmare/needs help going for a wee/is thirsty. I'm his mother, it's my role and he needs me if he calls out and it's not every night.

Some real cold hearted people on this thread, picking and choosing to quote things that PP have said to back their own weird agenda which appears to be telling mothers how to mother their own children

Wow. This turned nasty. some very judgemental and uneducated views on co-sleeping and extended breastfeeding. Surely, surelyby now we know well enough that people make different choices.. What's so hard about that. Fact: breastfeeding beyond the age of 2 IS beneficial to mother and baby in so many ways. However, of you don't want to do it then don't. If you don't want to co-sleep, don't. It's not rocket science.

Genuine question to those who think getting up multiple times in the night with a child is madness: What do you do if your child wakes in the night? I can't imagine what would happen if I just left my 6yo awake and upset or unsettled. She's still so young and I'm her mum so I genuinely want her to be comforted...

I hate it! You are feeding the baby. If you need to be specific you are breastfeeding the baby. There’s no getting away from it, boobing sounds like a specialist search term on pornhub which would inevitably bring up videos of impossibly large breasted women with tiny waists!,,
