to be surprised that my new nursing top from the NCT has a label on the outside saying "boob"

[wobbegong]

I mean, it's pretty weird isn't it, to want to walk around with a label saying BOOB right by your boob. It's not exactly subtle. It seems a bit like having jeans with ARSE written across them, or knickers with.... well, you get the idea.

I thought about returning it, but then DS yakked on it as I was trying it on and trying to calm her at the same time. She obviously doesn't think much of it either.

Where does it say boob? Couldn't see it on the pic.

boob is the company who make that particular design (Scandinavian company, I think). It's not like it's emblazoned across your chest -- it's a pretty small label, after all (at least, it is on my boob tops). You get a much closer view than anyone else will (other than the baby, who probably won't be reading yet).

I wouldn't want to wear that really, no

The NCT seems a bit obsessed with that word, atm.

We have a local NCT group called "boobiful babies" for bfding mothers.

I mean, I don't really want to tell my FIL that I am am off to a group called "boobiful babies". What is wrong with "Breastfeeding Support Group?"

I dunno, I like to use proper words for things really, especially around little kids. They are BREASTS, get used to it

NAB- you're right you can't see it on the photo. It's a nice little surprise when it arrives- a small yet distinctive label by my right tit.

Boobiful babies sounds ghastly. I think I would have to boycott it just because of that name. Perhaps I lost all sense of humour with the arrival of LO...

Or Norks 'Nonymous

I hate that term anyway, it's vile - as is 'norks'

Perhaps they think you might forget where they are, and try and bf with your arse by mistake?

i have loads of bbob tops and a boob dress

didn't know the nct sold them

am planning to offload most of mine tbh - anyone interested

i have 3 short sleeved and 2 long sleved tops i hardly ever wear

Not for me either, I know where my boobs are thank you. Can I just say though, £29 for a t-shirt? Oh my.

oh fgs

IT'S THE NAME OF THE COMPANY

NOT A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT LIES BENEATH

Am I the only one that calls it Booby Juice then

tutter what size deary?
I need a 14 or M

they're all medium i think

happy to let you have them for a donation to mile for maude - say a fiver per top?

will go and check but i think i have

long sleeved in dark blue
ditto in dark green

short in red
ditto in watermelon
ditto in earth (khaki-ish)

Tee hee, my friend asks her little daughter "do you want some booby?". I try not to snigger. Recently, she asked me what I say when I offer milk to DS2, and I said "Ummmm....Would you like some milk DS2?"

I can't imagine anyone using words like booby or titty except 8 year old boys

and a top for baby here

done deal happy to take em all unless chequers (first dibs after all) wants

the watermelon one is L, randomly

other are M

I've always said "would you like a feed?", so DS calls my breasts "feeds". Which at rising-3 sounds rather like he's calling them "feet" and can get a bit confusing...

still want watermelon?

will wait to see if chequers interested too

if so will let you choose one, then her one, then you one, etc

I liked the bit in the blurb about 'discrete' feeding - you'd think an outfit as mc as the nct would know 'discrete' from 'discreet', wouldn't you?

I do know that, no need to shout, just if it's positioned over your boob, it's going to look like a description rather than a label. Like I said, not for me.
