@bria.k, yeah its a beautiful gift breastfeeding a child but its a bond between mother and child I don't want to have to knock on her door every two hours for my child to nurse. I want to hold my child and feed him myself not watch someone else do it

I think she was wrong for getting mad that you said no but I also think you were wrong for getting offended. It's a beautiful gift and if I couldn't breastfeed id want more than anything for somebody to offer that to me.

why would she get mad though? you are not wrong...it is your baby and your choice...i hate it when people get mad at you when you make a choice for YOUR baby like if you are obligated to do as they say

you're definitely not wrong if it made u uncomfortable. i agree breastfeeding is a super personal choice and action. but not breastfeeding doesn't make anyone less of a mother or selfish. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my child nursing at another women's breast, for the simple fact that's my child and I don't want someone else having or sharing that bond and for health reasons. although I do know my great-grandfather had a wet-nurse because his mother dies when he was a baby. Again it's all a personal choice and I think it was a bit bold of her to ask such a question being your neighbor.

she may have just been trying to help, but she could have been more sensitive. I grew up Amish, when my mom got really sick, women from the church took turns nursing my baby brother. different scenario, but thought it may help. @jdeshazor

No I would have felt the same !!!

absolutely not. it is a personal choice and you are right that is a bond between mother and child

no do what makes 69th comfortable babe... #FUCKcancer
