STOP IT!

A few weeks ago my gma and mom told me "you better start brushing your nipples to toughen them up for breastfeeding, or they will crack and it will hurt". Well this is the #1 thing I learned NOT to do, and just told them that wasn't a common practice anymore and I wouldn't be doing it. Who cares?

Every time I have talked to them since, and my mom was over at my house this past weekend, one or both has said, "you really need to reconsider on getting your nipples ready". I've told them no very nicely and this weekend even told them I thought it was weird that they kept bring it up. WHO CARES ABOUT MY NIPPLES?!?!

I just talked to my mom and she said, "So have you reconsidered brushing your nipples?"

I AM SO CONFUSED! WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE! STOP BRINGING IT UP!

Vent over.

Lie.  Tell them that you are doing it and that is is working great.

but they have these really nice nipple brushes on sale at BRU....you should try it!

J/K....what's up with the nipple obsession. Just tell them you're on it next time and your nipples are hard as ROCKS!

Tell them not to worry bc you have been having DH suck on them and pinch them a few times a day.

(I know this site is more serious but...)

I think you should buy a couple of these and the next time they bring it up take them out of your pocket and show them what happened when you brushed them...

that's hilarious.... Never heard of this before.... brushing! (how absurd)

Now, on the serious note - do you know that nipple stimulation can actually trigger preterm labor? This is one of those things they recommend to try when desperate to induce labor naturally at about 40 weeks or so... most sources recommend to be very cautious with this stuff.
