Oh we're back to breastfeeding aye? The OG controversial topic, together with fig rolls
You also said over age 1 though so given that guidelines recommend until age 2 I do think that adds to mum shaming for those who do choose to follow the guidelines. Just my opinion.. as you can see lots of people agree with you- the point I was trying to say is it’s not unpopular to withdraw support for breastfeeding when it’s past the newborn stage. It’s a popular opinion- imoNo I don’t , I just wack my boobs out anywhere when my son needs feeding and I’d love for anyone to challenge me on that. I don’t see the whole outrage over bottle or breast. As long as they’re fed, happy and healthy who’s business is it?
I just think it’s odd to breastfeed a 5 year old that’s all
Haha. I let all my children wean naturally. One at 6 years, one at four years, one at 5 years. "Extended" (and I hate that we call it that) was the norm until society said it wasn't.Breastfeeding your child over the age of 1
I’m breastfeeding my son atm and won’t be doing it for much longer. I just can’t stand to see babies that age stuck to a boob
Even worse, I’m in a breastfeeding group on Facebook and a woman has just said she still breastfeeds her 5 year old……. No thanks
I'm probably going to be shot but I don't think BF has a massive difference on infant health in developed countries vs developing countries. It's not a magical potion. I think it's great if you do also ok if you don't Many people talk about the WHO studies but it's more geared at countries without access to clean water.
I did, at the same sink I wash my chicken.The real question here is do yous wash your tits before you whip them out
Well, as long as you didn't use the bidet to wash them, I suppose it's okay.I did, at the same sink I wash my chicken.
Agreed! As long as it’s washed!!I accidentally posted this on another thread so for anyone seeing it on the other thread and are confused about the random statement, blame it on the heat,
anyways the UO is:
Kiwi’s need to be eaten with Skin on, no other way about it.
I agree. I don’t think it’s taboo in the UK at all. I actually think bottle feeding mums get more hassle and judgement. Asking why they’re not breastfeeding, or asked when they stopped breastfeeding and the sheer horror on peoples faces when you say you didn’t do it at all!I don’t think breastfeeding is as taboo as people make it out to be, or maybe i have become desensitised to it?
I had no interest in doing it myself so maybe i didnt notice it, but my friends who did are all happy to whip out their boobs anywhere so I assume they haven’t been mumshamed for this
i find them to be the same mums who want to martyr themselves over every aspect of parenthood or want a medal for everything they doBreastfeeding isn’t taboo at all but some breastfeeding mums would love it to be.
I couldn’t care less how anyone feeds their baby but you don’t see parents who bottle feed constantly post pics of their kid with a bottle hanging out their mouth the way bf mums do begging for attention. Just feed your wean and fuck up
Amen sister!Breastfeeding isn’t taboo at all but some breastfeeding mums would love it to be.

Actually, inclusive language can exclude other minorities and put them at risk in healthcare settings. In particular, women with learning difficulties, low literacy levels and those who cannot speak English. It just increases the chances of misunderstandings and therefore I personally tend to avoid it entirely.That may be your ‘opinion’, but it’s medically inaccurate. Hence the language change to be more inclusive, recognising the myriad of people who have periods and women who don’t have periods. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, therefore I don’t bleed. Does that make me not a woman? No. But the inters3x child at my son’s school who does have periods, does that make them a woman? No.
Language changing to be more inclusive does not mean that it excludes others - it’s not pie. You don’t get less of something.
Bruh you beat me to it!Except removing the word women (or man not that it’s men’s information that’s being changed) from any medical or health related information is very exclusionary.
It has the potential to exclude three very vulnerable groups of people;
Those who can’t speak or read/have very little English and haven’t somebody to translate for them.
Those with little or no literacy skills. There are communities in this country where literacy levels are WAY below the national average.
Those with leaning difficulties or others who are neuro diverse.
These are three example of groups of people for whom language is very important. Removing the word women completely has the potential to put them at risk. If the word woman is removed there are women and girls who might not think something applies to them and end up missing a symptom etc the blue hair brigade might have a huff being othered but tough shit. Woman and others who have periods is the most inclusive. (Or wording to that effect) not simply “people who have periods”
