Since I've had my son, every time I talk to someone one of the first things they ask is "Are you breastfeeding?". They could be a stranger, acquaintance, coworker, etc. It's so, so weird to me! Especially when men ask! I'll be in line at the store and I'll get "cute baby! Do you breastfeed him??" 😂
Hey momma's how are you all today? Bored so I'll ask a question for fun. :) What foods do you crave the most while pregnant? My Cravings: Pizza mostly & sweets from time to time. :)
Damn I'll be around 40!!! :(
Do Not Post TMI Photos in this group!!! This is a group of ladies that are kind, encouraging, understanding and caring of any problems you may have ttc. You can ask all the questions you want, if this group is capable of answering, we will do so. But this group does not appreciate the TMI photos. We will report them. So if you seriously need to post a picture of your bodily fluids, please do so in another group. We are not trying to be rude we are just trying to keep this group clean and happy.
How You Became Pregnant in 3 Words Join in on this thread by telling us how you really became pregnant or the circumstances in only 3 words. I'll start.
I've been seeing so many negative posts/comments (not on this app as much but on a lot of others) and I just felt the need to put something positive out there. I'm a graphic designer and some of you may have seen this graphic before that I made with my baby girls first and middle name. I got a decent amount of good feedback from it so I figured I'd share my talent and make some for you guys! So if you'd like me to make one for you just comment with your baby's first and middle name and gender and I'll make one for you too! (and bare with me, I have a meeting around noon so I won't be on the app during that time so it may take a little longer) but I'll try and get them all made today and I'll post them in the comments and tag you once I'm finished. ♡

@mermaidmeshy I completely agree! When my son was in NICU, I had 2 different lactation consultants, and one drove me nuts! It's a hard enough situation without someone breathing down your neck constantly, unannounced usually.
Lately, I haven't been very nice about the intrusive breast questions. I don't need to explain anything to the public. None of us should feel obligated to explain our parenting choices (unless we are endangering our children, of course).

It's weird how many people are suddenly interested in your boobs when you have a kid. I have at least three lactation Consultants that have been checking up on me. (NICU, insurance, and regular hospital assigned one)
My answer to strangers is usually along the lines of asking them their bra size (females) or saying how creepy it is that they are interested in my boobs (males and females).
It's no one's business what you do with your body. Breastfeed, bottle feed with breast milk (me, because she has a cleft palate), and/or bottle feed with formula. (Or any combo of those)
As long as baby is getting proper nutrition, growing, and healthy who the hell cares how baby gets it?! No one, except the parents, that's who.

@-happycamper I agree!! What's funny to me is I do breastfeed. I've gotten people that have actually judged that as somehow making you a better mom than someone who doesn't breastfeed! It's crazy

@mommysbabies its just a really creepy thing to me, and so intrusive! Moms shouldn't feel obligated to explain their choices to anyone, especially strangers! Lol
