On Wendesday, in college, i found myself talking about slimmingworld, which led onto breastfeeding " in that i get extra allowance etc" to the other 3 MALE students. The fella the same age as me ( early 20's) went all quiet, as did the tutor, but the other 2 fellas who are dads, in their 4's were chatting about their wives freezing milk etc, and being really positive! i found it really refreshing TBH! I have found myself chatting to everyone about breastfeeding, i think i'm freaking a few people out, but as i dont know any other people my age ( any age really!!) who breastfeed, im trying to do my bit to 'normalise' it. lol
As a new mum who was close to giving up bf at 3 months, even though i was enjoying it, the people on here really helped me not to worry what others thought, and im Still enjoying bf at 6 months, as is my gorgeous dd.
I think mumsnet is an amazing place, its a shame everyone didn't know about it! xxx
