I'm pretty sure that if I get any sexual turn on while feeding my infant, I'll switch to formula immediately. Oh my God... Does that just happen to people or is she just sick? Now I have a new fear.
Don't stress about it. I secretly worried about that while i was pregnant because i enjoyed nipple stimulation during foreplay, but the letdown of milk and the baby feeding is a completely different sensation from how it feels during sexytime.
My 13 month old has started shaking his head no sometimes when I try to change his diaper. I am obviously assaulting this poor child. I should just leave him with a poopy butt, since that is what he wants.
There was a big story at the start of the year in Australia about parents having to ask their children’s permission to change their nappy. I just assumed my son didn’t want to sit in him shit and piss so I changed him.
Rape doesn't mean physical force, even if you gain a child's consent it'll be rape as they can't legally consent. But yeah, it's obviously not rape since it's the mother
Thank you! So many people here cling to the most obviously fake shit and use Poe’s law as an excuse when they get called out for having the critical thinking skills of a 75 year old.
Yeah but go on Facebook for a bit and you’ll see that the old people who told us not to believe everything we see online are the people who believe everything they see online.
having the critical thinking skills of a 75 year old.
When I came across the term "ageism", I didn't think I'd haver have a need for it. Until I found someone on the internet who literally claims that old people are stupid.
Spend some time on Facebook, old people believe whatever shit they read because they never had to deal with so much information. Try teaching an old person to do something basic on a computer, most of them can’t learn anything that isn’t 100% procedural. Old people came from simpler times and can’t adapt to the rapidly changing world around them. The ones that can are the ones who didn’t stick their head in the sand 40 years ago and decide that they never needed to learn again.
"Spend some time on Facebook"? To get an accurate image of people? That might be the worst advice I've ever got.
If you believe the world was "simpler" 50 years ago, that people didn't need to learn back then, that computers weren't a thing, and that the world didn't change rapidly back then, you're simply wrong.
75 year old people were born in the 40s, not the bronze age.
If you believe the world was "simpler" 50 years ago, that people didn't need to learn back then, that computers weren't a thing, and that the world didn't change rapidly back then, you're simply wrong.
Of course people had to learn, but learning was different back then. It used to be that you learned a procedure and you were set, instead of learning what a machine did you learned the steps you took and treated the rest like magic. It's why old people can't adapt when something changes on a computer, they only memorize steps because that's what got them by in the past. Microsoft had to name their new browser Edge and give it a big E as the logo because so many old people couldn't adapt to not clicking the big E anymore. The way we learn today is very different than in the past because you can't learn the mechanical steps anymore, you have to understand the process. As a result most old people can't handle learning things that aren't just a set of steps because they don't know how to operate any other way.
Breastfeeding helps establish the babies' microbiota. While it doesnt seem neccesary in the near future, it really helps in the long run with having a healthier life.
Actually you don't have to breastfeed. I do understand that it's considered good for the baby but you don't "have to". Theres plenty of people out there that were never breastfed. If I ever have children, which I don't really expect to at this point in my life, I would like my wife/significant other to breastfeed.
I breastfed my son until he was 2.5. I am currently still breastfeeding my daughter who is almost 2.
That said I didn't "have to." My husband and I, along with many children and adults in our acquaintance were formula fed. Some by choice, some by necessity. We're all fine.
Babies just have to be fed. That's it and that's all.
- And before anyone decides to get cute, I don't mean feed newborns Fritos and Sprite.
More accurately, breast milk is better for the baby than anything else. You don't have to breast feed to feed a child breast milk, you can express, store and feed a baby breast milk from a bottle.
Some people can’t breastfeed, fuck all they can do - stop shaming them.
Fuck the companies like nestle who promote expensive product as if it’s better where mothers are better off financially and emotionally feeding their own children, but there is a time and a place for formula, and until you know the exact details of someone else’s life you can all shut the fuck up.
In developed countries, the impact of breast milk is pretty negligible.
This has repeatedly been shown to be untrue. The health benefits of breastfeeding are well documented, well understood, and are statistically significant throughout the child's life.
The scientific evidence is crystal clear: breastfeeding is superior to using formula.
You don’t HAVE to doctors just believe it creates a better bond between mother & child but not a requirement. Moms can still choose formula if they want

Lmao besides being a necessity for a baby (yes I realize you don't have to breastfeed), isn't the mother giving consent there? How is that rape?
And yes, people are insane.
