To be utterly fed up with the “bitty” reference

[Wonderland18]

My babies 8 month old, in no way is she a grown ass woman asking for boob. If one more person goes oh much longer she’ll be asking for bitty I’m going to scream.

I was planning on breastfeeding till a year but I think I’ll do two just outta spite. Benefits the LO and I can rub my feeding up their wrong side for longer.

Grim 😷 absolutely hate that phrase. She’s 8 months ffs! Feed for as long as you want

That's really inappropriate. Exactly who is saying this? Family and friends or strangers? It would never occur to me to even comment on someone breastfeeding their 8 month old baby.

I would actually call them out when they next say it.

@hunsontherun do shut up you spiteful judgey cow

?????? 😲

I was supporting the OP???

@hunsontherun

Mumsnet doesn't use text speak like that. It's usually only used when someone is taking the piss.

Wasnt being ironic. Its how i talk to luvved ones. I say wot I mean + I mean wot I say, but I am never mean - if u c wot I mean

The word bitty makes me utterly cringe thanks to that tv show. You're not wrong to find it grim.

I dont think we should derail this thread any longer TBH.

It’s stupid and childish, I’m still BF my 7 month old and hope to do so until at least a year (if the little booger will stop biting!)

If anyone says that to me I’ll tell them where to go.

Fucking hell! The site is full of superior cunts today!

Sorry your post got hijacked by hilarious clever folks with their in jokes, @Wonderland18.

Are you making words Hun or just headbutting the keypad?
I'm having trouble making sense of you.

It is so naff when people quote TV and think they're being funny in the first place - it's even worse here because they're doing it to put you down. Screw them and keep doing whatever you think works best for you and your child.

I h8 that show - esp the bitty stuff. Urgh!

oh much longer she’ll be asking for bitty, what does that even mean?

I thought 'bitty' was a word they made up. Was it not? I'd be livid if I was BFing and someone diminished what I was doing by talking about 'bitty'. It's associating it with creepiness as well.

Bitty is grim. Who are these people using this phrase? Would fuck off be appropriate?

I was bf at the height of the shows popularity
I'm quite proud that I didn't eviscerate any of the several pricks who thought they were hilarious.

At 8 months old that is ridiculous. Very much still a baby. They're showing their ignorance, try to rise above it.
