I'm due to go back to Ireland to visit family with DS next month (he'll be about 16 weeks then). I'm looking forward to it in some respects but I know BFing will be a problem. My sisters were just over for a visit (first time seeing DS) and my older sister kept asking stupid questions about BFing, such as "are you allowed to eat cheese?" which I answered. She also said "I can't believe how often you have to feed him!" about 500 times even though I explained he's going through a growth spurt and doesn't usually need so much. BFing isn't the norm in my family and I know I'm going to get tons of unwanted advice and stupid questions for a whole week. I have a massive (and I mean massive) family so this will be pretty much constant. Sigh.
So are there any stock responses I can give to shut people up? Also please help to boost my confidence for feeding in front of my aunts and uncles. I have about 50 younger cousins and I've never ever seen any of them BFed so as you can imagine I'll be very unusual. I'm even considering switching to formula I'm that worried about it. Help!
