    Best Reason to Stop Breastfeeding

    Because I'm not getting big enough with this pregnancy

    Yep, the in laws have said I need to wean ds because I'm not getting fat... so what's the best reason you've been given to stop breastfeeding?

    A stranger in the food court once told me that I should stop breastfeeding or my daughter will turn into a lesbian!!! She was getting to big and I was encouraging her to look at my breasts sexually.
    I laughed in her face and told her that it was completely fine if my daughter was a lesbian but it would have nothing to do with the fact I breastfed her!!

    Seriously some people are just nut nuts!

    Oh my....the things people will believe.

    I was also told by my mother and (believe it or not!) my GP I had to stop BFing DS1 because I would starve DS2....is it any wonder women get so confused!

    1. that we should switch to formula, so that he would sleep better (he was "only" sleeping 10-12 hours a night at the time

    2. I was making other women feel inadequate by still bf after I'd gone back to office work

    Are you for real?!? That is insane! Some people seriously have mental issues to think breastfeeding will turn a baby into a lesbian. It's pretty sad really, next thing you know there will be people telling us it's incest

    when DS was 6 months old I was told by a GP "look at him, he definitely doesn't NEED it!" (she wanted me to go on the pill, that was her response to my "won''t my milk dry up?")

    I have had a couple but they really pale in comparison:

    1 - (when telling my SIL I had another bout of mastitis) "oohh mastitis - its time to wean.

    2 - Mother - You were 1.5years when you stayed at your nans, don't you think DD would like to start sleeping over at nanny's place?

    3 - WOW you're STILL BF at XXX months? time to wean especially if you're expecting another baby, what will happen if she isn't weaned by then? *insert deeply concerned face*

    1. Don't you feel funny whipping your boob out?

    2. He is too clingy time to wean

    3. Formula babies sleep better

    4. Don't you think you need a good few drinks? Time to wean.
