Real talk. I know I will hear some comments from both sides and I'm okay with that. I'm okay with negativity. I just want to know how/why you feel the way you do. I'm a breastfeeding mom. I am 100% for breastfeeding. However I also know it makes a lot of people uncomfortable. What makes you uncomfortable about it? When I nurse I'm COMPLETELY covered unless I am at home. It makes me uncomfortable to see another woman, not covered, nursing her child. I'm also uncomfortable when a woman is covered but feeding an older child. The longest I have nursed is 15 months. What is too old in your opinions?

@amandafikes, no. I've heard of people continuing to nurse throughout pregnancy. I couldn't do it because I started feeling my uterus cramping and I started running out because I was only night nursing by the time.

My "Baby" the five year old was so noisy you could hear him a mile away 😂

The reason I brought this up is I was sitting in the doctors office and a lady rudely pointed out how "nasty" I was for nursing my son. Usually I don't nurse in the waiting room just incase a small child sees who has not been exposed to breastfeeding yet. However, after sitting in the waiting room for over an hour I had to feed my one month old baby. The woman was feeding her daughter a bottle. That's her choice and this is mine. I was curious what would make other women so uncomfortable that they feel they need to point out a woman is nursing. A child would have thought I was just hiding the baby under his blanket. My son is a champ. He latches perfect, he's quiet, and quick!

@mami2d, I also chose to self wean with my "last" one who is now five. He weaned himself at 15 months and I must say it was the saddest day of my life. 😂😂😂 My baby was growing up and didn't need me. I only nursed him at night time, before bed.

@imhermomduh, does being pregnant prevent you from nursing? My children were weaned before I got pregnant again.

I choose to use a in cover public because a lot people are negative about it.

I choose to let my daughter self wean herself! She is 3 ½ yrs and we are still going strong!

I believe in breastfeeding. I was able to go 15 months before I found out I was pregnant again. My daughter has never been sick or had an ear infection. I think me breastfeeding helped accomplished that even going over a year their are added benefits. Idk how long I would've nursed had I not gotten pregnant again. But I'm cool with anyone breastfeeding in public up the the age where a child can say "mom pull out your boob I'm thirsty" then it's a little awkward. I guess that would be around age 3. But to each their own. I'd never make the mother feel judged for doing it.

Breastfeeding.

I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.

babybump_user ?????? me!! I most definitely will be!
babybump_user I am pregnant with my fourth child. I have an older daughter and a set of twins.
babybump_user I nursed all 3 girls and plan to with #4.

Okay so question about breastfeeding: Is it okay to diet during or will it reduce milk supply? I heard it makes you even more hungry..
