This effect is not limited to the male Justices: the male advocates also regularly interrupt the female Justices. This is surprising, both because the Court’s guidelines explicitly prohibit advocates from interrupting Justices, and because the Chief Justice is supposed to intervene when this occurs.

If men can pass a law about what women can do with their bodies, can women pass a law about what men can do with their mouths?

Can Elton John please say the same thing to Trump?

That Danish “o” is the tell.

Love this so much.

Nursing tells your body to make more milk. If you don’t nurse, then your body thinks it doesn’t need milk then. Also skipping a feed leads to engorgement and clogged ducts. And sometimes you get mastitis. I pump mite than baby usually eats while I’m at work, so on weekends I had to be careful if baby isn’t fully…

Every time the baby eats, mom needs to pump. So if dad feeds with a bottle, then mom is still up pumping. Not worth it.  

It sounds like the kid just needs solids in general no pediatrician recommends only breast milk still at 9 months they have ducking teeth already for god sakes.

Not all kids will take a bottle when they are breast fed.

It depends upon the baby and mother in this, actually.

That’s probably more work than it’s worth. Pumping is a huge pain in the ass. The thing is that the kid doesn’t actually need breastmilk at 2am. Dad could give her yogurt or apple sauce but women like the letter writer are usually too wrapped up in martyring themselves to let dad do much of anything.

This is exactly why I will not breastfeed when I have a baby. If I have to house the baby in my body for 9 months and then push it out of my vagina (or have major abdominal surgery), my husband can handle at least half of the 1 am feedings.

Yeah, and at 9 months, she shouldn’t necessarily be nursing the baby back to sleep four times a night just out of concern for her teeth - there’s a lot of sugar in breast milk! Sounds like dad needs to get in there and try some cuddling or rocking.

To be fair some women don’t get shit from a pump. On average I’d get 1 ounce per pumping session. I switched to formula then because fuck spending all my time feeling like a cow.

Good Grief, Good Point!

Yes. I made a similar comment upthread. Why is the onus only on the mom to feed the kid in the middle of the night? Switch off or something.

Why is everyone lately showing that weird sweater hanging technique? Just fold your sweaters people! That will also prevent hanger bumps.

How do non-medical professionals have the ability to legislate on medical procedures?
