With respect, is it really necessary to nit pick over when or where these things were said, on BB or IRL? There are many women here who are saying they have heard them before, be it outright or implied... that should be enough for us all to recognise that a bit of respect & tact is called for when talking to any mother about ANY aspect of her parenting. Especially when it comes to feeding, which we all do. And lets face it, if we all care about parenting enough to sit on a forum & yack about it, we must care enough to make the best choices we can

I have always said, and always will say that breastfeeding needs more normalisation and support from society in general. My first two children were FF (after short attempts at BF) and in hindsight I know it was because I didn't know what I know now. I don't feel guilty. I did my best, then. But if someone back then had said any of this to me, I would have been devastated.

I like both lists, Tinks thanks for posting.
