I don't think my mom was all that keen on the idea of my bf'ing. She would say stuff like "if you give him a bottle he will sleep longer" or "if you give him a bottle, I could help you more" and my favorite "when he can ask for it, he doesn't need it anymore".
I also hear people, especially first time moms with the comment that they didn't make any milk....well that's probably because you didn't put baby to the breast often enough. They will say that the baby was hungry all the time and wasn't being satisfied...that's just mother nature telling your body to amp it up!
I got a few strange looks and comments when I nursed my toddler in public but frankly by that time I didn't care that much. I was careful and covered with a nursing cover at first but then my DS decided that he didn't like his head to be covered while eating and pulled it off...so I just had to get over it! :D
I also don't understand why people don't understand that breasts were actually designed to feed babies and not for male pleasure. How exactly do they think people fed their babies before bottles and formula were invented:confused:
