Have I missed the answer where we found out where it is inappropriate to feed a child at all? I have never once seen anyone ever get offended about a baby bottle feeding so I am really curious about this one.
Your not supposed to feed babies at a funeral!
Yes apparently babies make too much noise while eating to feed them at funerals....
This might not be an UO, but I seriously hate the huggies blue jeans diaper commercial. Every time I see it I get that uncontrollable eye twitch. Here's a link to the abomination:
I'm also irritated at unsolicited advice from my mom. She volunteers to hold LO in the evening so I can take a shower and such (we live together for now), and when I'm done she's like, "You need to feed your baby!" Like I've been starving him or something... Yeah, he's fussy because he's hungry, but not because I've been starving him, it just's that time of the night where he likes to cluster feed before bed!

I'm starting to lean more towards formula feeding. I tried breastfeeding for 7 weeks and it just is not working out. I had a lactation specialist, and I was persistent about it. So why is it that I feel so damned ashamed for having to formula feed?! It seems like anytime a formula feeder makes a post somewhere on the internet a lactivist has to come in and say "you're not a bad mom BUTTTTTT this is why you should keep trying, you need to do this and this, etc." I mean REALLY?! Why can't they just f***ing let it go?! Every. F***ing. Time. I've had to block people on facebook because I just can't take their pro-breastfeeding agenda anymore. Y'all can stop hitting the dead horse!!

Dunno about your baby, but my baby does. "Mmm! Mmm! MMMMM! *glurg glurg snarfle*" If I'm feeding him at one end of the house, he's clearly audible through closed doors at the other end of the house. I wouldn't feel comfortable feeding him in a library, at a funeral, or any other quiet situation (unless I couldn't escape quietly and the only other option was starving shrieking baby).
My unpopular opinion: I'd rather put my kid in just a diaper than have him in clothes covered with psuedo-witty phrases.

I keep getting anti-breastfeeding BS from my family and if I try to pump myself up about breastfeeding my MIL (who is here a lot) gets uncomfortable with "I couldn't breastfeed" guilt. Don't let yourself feel bad- you gave it a decent try and it isn't for you- that's still 7 more weeks of breastmilk your baby got than if you hadn't made the effort and tried at all- good for you. . .

I don't know how you expect them to "let it go" if you are still talking about it.

That's the thing though. I DON'T talk about it on facebook; it is totally unsolicited advice. I once mentioned to the girl that I wanted to try breastfeeding before anything else and it basically opened pandora's box, sigh...

A new UO: I fail to see what is so wonderful about manicures and pedicures.
The massage is the wonderful part. The scraping and clipping are the unfun parts. The polish is just unnecessary since it chips or smudges after a week.
I also fail to see the wonderful part of mani's and pedi's. I feel like I have to shave my legs before I go because they rub your legs down, and I am just too lazy to shave... (at least right now...) Oh, and the bill afterwards?! I'd rather buy junk food, eat my weight in fat and sugar, and do my own nails.... (says the fat lady who can't seem to shake the baby weight....)
If you don't like what people tell you on facebook tell them. Or unfriend them. Or make a status that your boobs aren't their problem and to leave you alone. You don't have to deal with people annoying you. It's the internet.
Oh another one on the topic of BFing. I love to breast feed in public. Well it doesn't bother me at least. I have mastered the art of stopping in the middle of the mall putting a receiving blanket around me and the baby, latching her one without looking, and continue on walking like she isn't even attached.
I could give two shiz less about another person having an issue with NIP. How I feed my child is my decision so unless they want to listen to a screaming baby, deal with it!

Yeah, there's one poster on 0-3 and the breastfeeding board that *insists* EP-ing is more convenient because she's always out doing stuff. I fail to see how it can be more convenient than my existing boob.

My unpopular opinion: I'd rather put my kid in just a diaper than have him in clothes covered with psuedo-witty phrases.
Totally. Even when the clothes are free, which seems to be the really unpopular part.
I also found out this week that my IL's decided to throw us a long-distance shower anyway. (As in they are in California and we are in North Dakota.) Despite the request not to. They're just leaving us out of it. Not even a Skype appearance. Received an invitation in the mail, with our registry info printed on it and everything, as a one-week-notice FYI. I've never met most of the people being invited. Really makes me uncomfortable. I don't care that it's free stuff. Seems tacky.
I'm so over the 0-3 board. I am tired of the same questions every. single. time. I go over there. "When can I go out with my baby", "How many oz should my baby be drinking" etc.
It seems like the older boards are having more fun, and are actually 'e-friends' with eachother. I'm jealous!

That's why I like this board. Even more before when more people were here.
Also, I disagree completely with people that say there is no inappropriate place to breastfeed. I don't have a problem with BFing anywhere that a bottle would be fed, but I think there are places/times when bottle feeding is inappropriate, thus BFing is inappropriate then, too.
Such as?
I'm wondering too. I can only think of one place that is inappropriate to BF in my eyes and that's sitting in a pew at church. So I either bring a couple of ounces and bottle feed or I go to the mothers room that has very comfy recliners and I BF.
A lady in my Sunday school class nursed during church services. She wore a nursing cover and sat in the back. Sure, it'd be inappropriate for me to eat in church, but babies can't really control their hunger. I don't have a problem with it, as long as it isn't disrupting the service or church members.
Having said that, I take DD out of the sanctuary to the nursing room when she gets hungry.
Married to my best friend 6/5/10
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
First, if you BF then you (the mother) aren't suppose to give the baby the bottle. They expect the boob from you anyways. Always give someone else the bottle. And you should then be experimenting with bottles. Not all bottles are the same. They will find one they like and refuse all others by crying.
Yeah, that's not true for us at all. I give DS a bottle all the time, and we have 3 different bottles we use: Medela, Dr. Brown's, and Breastflow. He BFs AND bottle feeds just fine.
I agree with sparkle - when I was supplementing at the beginning I would give DS bottles, as well as would DH. We used two different kinds, both worked fine for him and he was still BFing just fine.
I know not all babies are the same, but you can't just generalize with babies in this way and scare people. I get that the literature says for mom not to give a bottle, and for the most part it makes sense, but in reality if hungry, baby will eat.

LOL. Love your comment!
I had a new mom IRL tell me how EP-ing is way easier than EBF. I don't get it... well in a way I do because she is an airhead. She was microwaving her breast milk.

First, some background: I had a hospital birth at 42w1d, was induced with Pitocin, but accepted no other meds during delivery. No epidural, no stadol (my 2 options). I wanted a med-free birth and worked hard to keep it that way.
My UO: Although everything didn't go perfectly (episiotomy, vacuum, etc), I still had the med-free birth that I wanted. Because of how my RECOVERY has been, however, I would seriously consider opting for an elective c-section next time. If I could do the med-free birth again but skip the recovery, I would. But, I can't. And I don't think I can deal again with the sheer amount of pain that recovery has been for me again. My recovery pain has been 10 times worse than my delivery pain and I actually cry from the pain; I didn't cry from the delivery pain. No one warned me about recovery pain.
What about your recovery has been painful? I thought my recovery was rather easy and most people that I know said that recovery tends to be easier with a natural birth. I'm sorry you haven't had a good experience.
UO*: "Bank Solid"?! What type of phrase is that? Or how about "Live Free"?! HELLOOOOO... those are VERBS (action verbs no less) and are followed by either a noun for a direct object, a prepositional phrase, or an adverb. Does anyone see adjective in that list? NO! If you want to save the world from poor grammar, you are not doing your job by having such poor slogans! Ok, "Bank Solidly" or "Live Freely" may not be as sexy, but they are proper. Why bother making us suffer through grammar and sentence diagramming if you're not going to actually make it practical? Honestly, every time a company uses a slogan like this, a part of the seventh grader in me dies... I wonder what my English teachers would say about all this!
*Yes, this is a completely ridiculous rant and qualifies as a UO because the people I've mentioned it to (not in such a heated fashion) have told me that grammar actually isn't a practical tool today.

same here. i give her a bottle or breast all the time.
on the nip in church....i have to leave service just because im not all that great at keeping myself covered. come to think of it, id have to raise my dress up from the bottom to feed and thats totally not appropriate for church, ha. i dont have any dresses that are nursing friendly. good thing i read this thread before we go to tchurch this weekend!!!
I hate those crazy legs things people put on their baby girls. They are so ugly and look ridiculous. It's like a terrible version of a leg warmer.
I also don't care where you nurse.
LOL Is it better that I put them on my little boy? I LOVE my Baby Legs. They make diaper changes easier because I don't have to take his pants off. Plus I just think they're adorable.
i also like babies to wear baby clothes, not mini-adult clothes. like cargo shorts on a baby or button down shirts,too grown up for me. i also really dislike bold animal prints or black and white outfits on babies. someone gave me a black adn white zebra print outfit. definitely nms.
I am LOL at the idea that nursing a baby in church is inappropriate.
Me too...wonder what people would think about the fact that women regularly nurse their babies in our church, even bringing a nursing baby up to the alter for communion on several occasions. Oh the horror

sorry for typos...one handed while nursing!
I love babylegs (I made a ton myself, they are nice for when they are crawling, not for cute but for utilitarian purposes). However, this child has yet to have a bow on her head and I don't think she ever will. I think 98% of them look so ridiculous.

Dee would totally houdini herself to get poop all over those things if I changed her in them! She is such a wiggler, everything comes off during changing time.

They're just leaving us out of it. Not even a Skype appearance. Received an invitation in the mail, with our registry info printed on it and everything, as a one-week-notice FYI. I've never met most of the people being invited. Really makes me uncomfortable. I don't care that it's free stuff. Seems tacky.
It seems like the older boards are having more fun, and are actually 'e-friends' with eachother. I'm jealous!
That's why I like this board. Even more before when more people were here.

A lady in my Sunday school class nursed during church services. She wore a nursing cover and sat in the back. Sure, it'd be inappropriate for me to eat in church, but babies can't really control their hunger. I don't have a problem with it, as long as it isn't disrupting the service or church members.
Having said that, I take DD out of the sanctuary to the nursing room when she gets hungry.

I agree with sparkle - when I was supplementing at the beginning I would give DS bottles, as well as would DH. We used two different kinds, both worked fine for him and he was still BFing just fine.
I know not all babies are the same, but you can't just generalize with babies in this way and scare people. I get that the literature says for mom not to give a bottle, and for the most part it makes sense, but in reality if hungry, baby will eat.
I've never seen Titanic and I never will.
I FF because I hated the nipple shield and it's just easier for me.
LOL. Love your comment!
I had a new mom IRL tell me how EP-ing is way easier than EBF. I don't get it... well in a way I do because she is an airhead. She was microwaving her breast milk.

What about your recovery has been painful? I thought my recovery was rather easy and most people that I know said that recovery tends to be easier with a natural birth. I'm sorry you haven't had a good experience.
Yes, I've seen both of those because my husband forced me too when we met. :P
You didn't miss much.
UO*: "Bank Solid"?! What type of phrase is that? Or how about "Live Free"?! HELLOOOOO... those are VERBS (action verbs no less) and are followed by either a noun for a direct object, a prepositional phrase, or an adverb. Does anyone see adjective in that list? NO! If you want to save the world from poor grammar, you are not doing your job by having such poor slogans! Ok, "Bank Solidly" or "Live Freely" may not be as sexy, but they are proper. Why bother making us suffer through grammar and sentence diagramming if you're not going to actually make it practical? Honestly, every time a company uses a slogan like this, a part of the seventh grader in me dies... I wonder what my English teachers would say about all this!
*Yes, this is a completely ridiculous rant and qualifies as a UO because the people I've mentioned it to (not in such a heated fashion) have told me that grammar actually isn't a practical tool today.
same here. i give her a bottle or breast all the time.
on the nip in church....i have to leave service just because im not all that great at keeping myself covered. come to think of it, id have to raise my dress up from the bottom to feed and thats totally not appropriate for church, ha. i dont have any dresses that are nursing friendly. good thing i read this thread before we go to tchurch this weekend!!!
I hate those crazy legs things people put on their baby girls. They are so ugly and look ridiculous. It's like a terrible version of a leg warmer.
I also don't care where you nurse.
I loove baby legs. Where did you find boy ones?!
i dont like baby legs, hats, big bows.
i also like babies to wear baby clothes, not mini-adult clothes. like cargo shorts on a baby or button down shirts,too grown up for me. i also really dislike bold animal prints or black and white outfits on babies. someone gave me a black adn white zebra print outfit. definitely nms.
sorry for typos...one handed while nursing!
Me too...wonder what people would think about the fact that women regularly nurse their babies in our church, even bringing a nursing baby up to the alter for communion on several occasions. Oh the horror
Our precious girl, born at 27 weeks.
I love babylegs (I made a ton myself, they are nice for when they are crawling, not for cute but for utilitarian purposes). However, this child has yet to have a bow on her head and I don't think she ever will. I think 98% of them look so ridiculous.
Dee would totally houdini herself to get poop all over those things if I changed her in them! She is such a wiggler, everything comes off during changing time. Such a pain, but it's better than having to wash 5 outfits a day!! And of course you go ahead and post a picture of your little cutie! Even with the baby legs (crazy legs haha) he's STILL adorable!
