Blah. I dislike it when people judge the whole to breastfed or not, to cover babies butt with cloth or not THING.
Most of the time you'll find is because it didn't work for them. My nana is very antibreast feeding because she never got enough milk in and her babies ended up losing alot of weight, so in her opinion BF is a waste of time.
But, unfortunately everyone has their own opinions. Alot of people just forget that different things work for different mothers, fathers and babies!
I think it's a bit sad that they're not helping you celebrate at your babyshower because of the choices you are making for your baby, though. Boo to them!
agreed with teagz....ive never heard of a teenager needing councelling cause their parent used one type of nappies/feeding opposed to the other LOL
as long as thier clothed, fed and LOVED, whos business is it?!
Yeah it sucks. I am really not looking forward to my baby shower. My family has a lot of drama and I am sure it will be brought there.
As for the cloth diapers and breastfeeding. My family is more concerned about themselves. Mainly cloth diapers. My mother has already told me she thinks it is rude because she doesnt want to deal with it when she watches her for a visit! And now there is a bet going around my family about how long I will last.
WTF? if she feels that strongly about it you have two options...provide sposies for when bubs stays at your mums
or say, this is my child, if youre not willing to care for her without performing necessities (e.g.nappy changing), then you cant babysit! she cant want to babysit but refuse to change nappies, wtf that makes me angry!! although im gonna be using sposies and i commend you for using cloth! *clap*
I remember that once my belly started showing it was 'game on' for all and sundry.
i think the one that hurt the most was a comment by a complete stranger at a supermarket checkout that followed along the lines of 'well i guessed you earned that engagement ring' (as he nodded to the ring) seriously, this guy had no idea how close he came to being KO'd by a 38 week pregnant chick. and you know what? it hurt. it really really hurt. i actually felt quite ashamed and began wondering if this is what others were thinking when they saw my sparkly!
