Chering is caring.

How is it inappropriate to tell a guy he’s stupid?

Still breastfeeding at 18 months here with no end in sight. It’s not the same feeding function as it is before they start solids, instead it functions more as a very effective calming method as well as immunity boost and crisis-defuser. Often when babies are teething or sick, they won’t eat or will eat very little…

It’s not common, if that’s what you mean. But given that even adults can subsist on breastmilk, it’s not abnormal.

Coming from a mom who was unable to successfully breastfeed for several reasons, “normal” is whatever you deem best for your baby.

They often learn fast. A few mom friends would have one bite icident, and because you can't help but react in pain, the baby gets it. That biting rarely continues.

It’s normal and benefits the baby but also the woman doing the breastfeeding. Every month a woman can breastfeed she is significantly slashing her personal risk of developing breast cancer. The CDC strongly recommends breastfeeding as a protective and preventative measure against breast cancer. I’m always surprised…

You can, if your kid will take a bottle (some of them fight it hardcore), but whipping out the boobie is SO MUCH EASIER than pumping, cleaning and sterilizing the pump, reheating the milk, waking up in the middle of the night to pump and repeating the above process. It’s a great option when you need it though!

I did see a mom with a newborn forget to tuck leftie back in when baby fell asleep at Target once.

note that the rest of the world does not have such privileged access to baby food or formula. so for a huge share of the human race, it would be abnormal not to :)

Yes, it’s normal. I nursed all three of mine until they were 3-3.5. I’m just a regular basic bitch suburban gal driving a minivan and drinking my Starbucks. No dreads or patchouli in this house. I will tell you that nursing is an excellent too, to have in your holster during the turmoil of the toddler years. Many a…

I breastfed each child longer. My daughter is two and March and nurses twice a day. Her pediatrician is delighted!

I can't parent without boobs

I nursed two of my four until they were well over 2 in a half years old and the other two self weaned earlier on. It’s more than a bonding thing because trust me.. by the time my kids were two we were sufficiently bonded. It is really good for their immune system which are still developing. My kids rarely were sick…

The problem with that, is some kids walk early. My daughter walked at 8 months and my two boys walked at 9 months. I am not going to buy formula just because they start walking.

There are a lot of children who still get quite a bit of nutrition from breastfeeding at that age. Solids aren’t supposed to be a primary source of nutrition until after age one. Many people basically switch to milk rather than formula or breastmilk at 12 months, but the feeding recommendations are for them to have a…

The WHO recommends breastfeeding for 24 months. After six or so months, many add solid foods to the diet. “Normal” should be what works for mom and baby and nothing to do with what onlookers think.

As a food scientist, I can tell you that sex is extremely important in food preparation. It’s not a matter of gender; it’s entirely biological. A few science facts:

Ughhhhh. She never not included them. You guys keep being so hard on her still, as if she had done something awful on purpose. She said what she thought in the moment. Put yourself in her position. You have like a minute to give a speech. You’re nervous, your heart is racing, you just won the biggest award of your…

You do realize that even when women are getting paid to do porn, that if they say no and if they say their SAFEWORD, that the scene must come to a SCREECHING HALT? Fucking christ.
