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

[dusty]

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!

[Winter]

Absolutely Dusty! You enjoy feeding your bub exactly how nature intended for as long as you want to!! You're doing such a fabulous job!!

[MantaRay]

You're doing a wonderful job hun. Keep up the great work. I am sure you will think up some witty responses soon

[Phteven]

You're doing great. Until you think up a witty response just stick you fingers in your ears and sing lalalalalala

[angelaartsstudent]

Why is it even being mentioned? She's only 4 months old!!!

[Kazbah]

Dusty I take my hat off to you, just keep singing the tra la laaaaaa song

[Joeve]

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

[Kmn]

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.

I wonder if it works in reverse...

"Do you think that has enough nutrients in it to sustain you? Maybe you should try breastmilk."

[*Beema*]

You are doing a fabulous job hun and yes totally ignore them

DD was 6 weeks old and I was asked (by a close family member) whether I was going to start S at 4 months and got when I said I wasn't going there until 6 months, my DH is super supportive of OUR decision as well

[Dansta]

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.

[ubba82]

Rogue, love your words!

[UsPlus2]

you're going great hun .It's great that you DH is so supportive, that all you need - your little family unit to know whats right for you guys - ignore everyone else

[turtleschell]

Ohh i hear you! People were mortified that I stayed away from S till DD was nearly 8mo.
Why the rush when bm is far more important, and S is just so much work!

Good on you for doing such a good job and ignoring the ignoramus'.

[Nelle]

I always thought of a blog I read called 'Cakies' - she didn't give her bub solids til maybe 9 months and her bub was the most adorable little bundle of healthy chub ever. You've got a good thing going Dusty, meh to those who suggest you need anything else yet.

[Spring Angel]

Pft to them. Why is it anyones business? FWIW I think S only complicate things, bf poo's are so much nicer, bub doesn't end up covered from head to toe and there's no extra cooking/cleaning.

Keep it up hun, you're doing great!

[Barb Glare]

We are talking about solids, right? My first thought was sex.
You are right - people just *have to say something*
You are doing great!

[*Infinity*]

LOL Barb!

I hear you Dusty. People are already throwing the S-word around about DD and I am really not happy. Not happy at all.

Hugs, they'll butt out soon enough hopefully.
