    [Vent]Leave me in my BF world - trying to drown out the S word!

    Anyone else hate mention of the S word? After 4 months exclusively BFing I'm no where near ready to start hearing the S word & DD mentioned in the same sentence, I find it intrusive & unhelpful. Leave me to enjoy this special time with her a while longer please world & keep your ideas about what I should be doing or considering to yourselves. We are doing just fine thanks. In fact why don't you acknowledge & celebrate that instead.

    I know I'll have to share her with Ss in the future but right now we are a great team, an awesome unit fully supported by dad/DH to do our thing the way we want to & we love it!

    Honestly what is wrong with people? No matter what you do someone tells you that you are doing it wrong! Your baby, your family, your choice, your chance to pretend to be deaf to the insulting people! Goodluck bfing as long as it works for your family x

    You'll know when it's time - when you discover that even if you had 10 boobs she'd want more. Until then - enjoy it the way it is, you're doing a great job.

    you're doing really, really well.

    as for the S word - i smile at people and go "in our own time" a few have said "ohh but he feeds often" and i smile and go "yep. your point?" or my fav. "im too lazy to start right now"

    your DD is still little. they bring it up just tell them the truth. you're boobie milk is cooler then their solids.

    Oh I just love the responses in here. Dusty I was wondering how you are and found this thread. I have to agree with the girls...with no experience to back me up. IMO it is such a personal thing...and hey i know of heaps of bubs that have gone much longer and benefited greatly. The world is so pressured...stay away from the pressure for as long as one can i think.
    So good to here you are still out here hun and doing so well. You are a wonderful primal mumma....so incredibly gorgeous and inspiring.oxo
