I find this odd. DD is only 7 months old. I was visiting family on the weekend and of course you get all the questions. It's like a bloody test, is she a good girl? is she sleeping through? are you still breastfeeding? how many feeds does she have a day?
Firstly, I find these questions rude and invasive! MYOB people. But I was baffled by what came next.
Her: Have you tried cutting any feeds out yet?
Me: uh..no...?? She feeds about every 3 hrs.
Her: ugh, I remember that :rolleyes:, don't worry, when she starts eating more you'll be able to cut it down.
Me: not replying, just thinking wtf is she on about?? I don't want to cut it down!
Her: I BF M for 10months, S for 12months, and L was the worst she just wouldn't let go and I BF her for 14 months.
Me: Oh, that's really good.
Her: Soon you'll be just able to feed her morning and night.
WTF?? Firstly, no, I don't think so, DD still feeds every 3 hrs despite having 3 meals a day and BF god knows how many times over night, lol. And I didn't say I didn't like it, why do ppl assume I want to stop already?? No way, I am sad at the thought she will wean eventually!! LOL. I've just always believed that til they're 1 (at LEAST!!) milk is super important and food not so much so I'm always trying to get more into her, hahaha. I thought everyone knew this and wasn't expecting weaning comments until she was at least 1!! Was not ready for that one!!
Silly me, must be ready for comments on ALL aspects of parenting.
