That’s not how babies work. That’s not how ANY babies work.

That person 1) is not a parent but thinks babysitting makes her qualified to comment on other people’s children 2) let her niece wait for the bottle until she cried 3) thinks you can just put a baby on a shedule and plan your day around that. So I think we can safely ignore their advice about breastfeeding

Well it is just a shame you don’t want children because you would be the perfect mother, wouldn’t you?!

Exactly. A strangers opinion on whether your child deserves to eat in a given moment is not super relevant; why would anyone think it would be?

You are not *down* with anything, especially not how “waiting” is painful for the mother and makes breastfeeding more difficult.

You’re getting a lot of momsplaining because you’re wrong and judgy. My son had a hard time latching on because of my flat nipples, and he would get easily frustrated because my milk took a little while to let down. If I didn’t start feeding him pretty close to when he announced he was hungry (which was on no sort of…

As a never-to-be mom,

The question is why SHOULD they wait? To make YOU comfortable? Yeah my baby’s hunger actually is more important then your squeamishness.

But...there’s no exaggeration here.

I understand this baby is not an infant, but often infants aren’t on a feeding schedule. My 6 week old, for example, sometimes randomly wants to eat every 20 minutes all GD afternoon. I don’t think it’s appropriate to say that that trip to the mall wasn’t an emergency. When you are caring for a baby all day, sometimes…

I guess they think feeding a baby when they’re hungry is somehow spoiling them? In that case, excuse me while I patiently explain to a 3 month old that she’s just going to have to wait. I’m sure she’ll be very understanding.

If you wait, sometimes even ten minutes, you get mastitis. Mastitis fucking sucks. Also when you have a kid their crying triggers engorgement and milk flow- which hurts if there’s not a tiny hot mouth getting the milk out. Also it hurts a mother’s soul and is extremely distressing. Nature!

It has nothing to do with babies “starving.” As a matter of fact, I’m nursing my daughter right now (at home), but I have no qualms about nursing in public. I don’t use a cover, either (I’ve tried but she hates it and I’m not going to wrestle a baby who has my nipple in her mouth). And while sure, the baby CAN wait,…

I would think it’s the opposite because you can bring something you CAN eat and worst case eat exclusively that, whereas a normal dinner party you’re stuck with whatever the host is serving.

Uh, I got to #2 where she says that pre-made vegetable trays have their place at a kid’s softball game (which doesn’t even make sense bc most kids NEVER eat raw vegetables anyway), and that lady can fuck herself.

Donald Trump has a small penis.

Hey, i am not complaining.

Sounds pretty great tbh

Now i know what a Hillary presidency will do. The White House walls will be stained red. In cabinet meetings, men will stay silent out of fear of being mocked and ignored. Their penises will remain flaccid for next 4 to 8 years.

Its like that famous Atwood quote;
