People who don't breastfeed are selfish?

PearlGirl519 · October 2009

What the fcking fck, people?

Pull your head out your_ass.

My unpopular opinion?

You people say that NIP is not a huge deal, then why must you take pictures and show it? It must be some kind of a big deal for you to document it, right?

xoxo,

The girl that failed at BF'ing and became depressed from constant pumping.

BEHOLD! IFFIP!

(tardy to the party, beating a deadhorse. I don't give a fck)

HOLY CRAPOLA... it was an UN POPULAR OPINION. Opinions are like aholes... just because it's not YOUR opinion doesn't mean it's wrong.

Temp552270562505132 · October 2009

i think she meant that people who don't even consider trying breastfeeding are selfish. or the people who are all "ew bf'ing is weird" or the people who are all "my bewbs are sexxxxxxual things". that's how i took it.

majors31 · October 2009

i couldn't care less how people choose to feed their child, as long as they are feeding them and giving them nutrients.

most people's opinions are shaped on events that have happened in their life.

she is entitled to her UNPOPULAR opinion, based on her experiences and research.

Well, then that doesn't exactly make you part of JCM#s category now does it Wink

BTW I forgot to say that last night I was lurking on my phone and almost spit my drink when I saw your siggy. Awesome.

JCM083009 · October 2009

If you FAILED at BF how does what I said even apply to you?? I am well aware and understanding of those who try/want to and can't. That's not what I said and you know it (or you don't and didn't bother to read correctly).

no, it stands for nurse in public.... no nip showing needed

PearlGirl519 · October 2009

No, there has been tons of people putting down girls who FF. Not just today, it's been that way. It's insane. Alot of BF'ers here are being holier than thou about it.

GTFover it.

And, disposable diapers are not the seed of evil, I'm throwing that out there too.

laylabailey · October 2009

Gotcha. Thank you. Too many acronyms!

jennylove1084 · October 2009

LOL at your IFFIN picture in your siggy.

CalinsBride · October 2009

I show it because I overcame a lot to BF and I'm proud of myself. I'm proud that I'm doing the best that I can for my baby, and I would never say that someone who FF isn't doing the best for their baby. I don't know your life. I don't know why you need to attack anyone who has an NIP picture in their sig just because you have an issue with something that one person said.

Also, the whole NIP sig challenge came out of the fact that we were discussing how the slogan Breast is Best everywhere can make FF moms feel like crap, and we thought the best way to promote breastfeeding without cutting down formula feeders would be to just show images.

And saying that taking a picture of something means we think it's a "big deal" is ridiculous. I have tons of pictures of my son doing things that are no big deal: sleeping, playing, laughing, crying. Eating is part of every day life and there's nothing wrong with having it on film.

I totally agree with the TRYING part. It is scientifically proven that BM IS BETTER than F. for people who won't even try to BF is somewhat selfish. People will spend mad money on the safest products for the babies and things that will keep them safe, yet BF had been proven to improve immunity and even some cognitive abilities.

Now, if there are reasons as to why you physically can't BF (yourself or baby) than that is different.

just saying...

jennabee13 · October 2009

I have decided to FF from the get go. If ANYONE ever calls me selfish to my face for not BFing - they'd better be ready for a verbal lashing the likes of which no one has heard.

I still stand by it, no right to call anyone selfish. I honestly don't care what argument you throw at me.

CalinsBride · October 2009

I hate this $hit. I hate that if I NIP people give me dirty looks for being inappropriate, and that if I bring a bottle (I BF and FF, btw) people give me dirty looks for pumping my son full of formula-poison. I hate the fact that someone can't be proud of their decision without it making someone else feel like they're being attacked. I am so sick of this mommy-wars bull$hit. We are all moms, we all love our kids, and most of us are doing the best we can. It's hard enough being a parent without people constantly getting in your face and telling you you're doing it wrong.

And if anyone mentions the phrase "puppies and rainbows" I am going to go BSC. It's about living and let live, no puppies, rainbows or unicorns required.

or because it's no one's business.

If you don't feed your kid--then you are selfish. How you feed your kid shouldn't matter to anyone but the people living in that home.

I chalk it up to life. We can never please everyone...no matter what you do someone will have something negative to say. But remember there are people who agree with you out there as well.

I'll never get anyone a dirty look for NIP'ing

I just think the pictures are getting insane.

jennabee13 · October 2009

I have no guilt about it whatsoever.

Surprise! I was FF fed! From the beginning! I've always been just as healthy as anyone else, been just as smart if not smarter than my peers and have lead a normal healthy existence.

Pretty sure all those cognitive disorders and immunities didn't get didn't ruin my life.

And for the record - BF, FF, NIP, whatever. I pass no judgment on anyone because everyone does what's right for them.

People who feel the need to loudly judge others for their actions usually are the ones that are trying to make up for some shortcomings in their own lives.

ITA but just wanted to throw out there that JCM did not loudly judge others. She posted it in a post intended to share unpopular opinions. She just so happened to share something that was a little more dramafest than...say...the color of Cinderella's hair

ok, but there are plenty of bottle feeding pictures all across the bump. Why should those who don't bottle feed not get to post pics feeding our kids? If anything it helps those who BF, but have been hesitant to NIP. All we were doing with that siggy challenge was to show that it's normal and no big deal. Just like any other pic any a signature and that there's nothing to be ashamed of for feeding your child. I don't see what is insane about that.

This certainly isn't the first time JCM's opinion on the matter has been shared. And that comment wasn't necessarily just for her - it was for anyone who puts someone else down for their choices as a parent or otherwise.

I'm actually pretty sure I've never said that before (b/c I know it's unpopular...) Have I said that I planned to bf b/c I think it's best for my baby or something like that? Probably and I don't see why that is so offensive to you. It's a simple fact. It IS best for them.

Chloebrigette · October 2009

JCM083009:

I FF from the beginning. I'll give you this: I regret not trying BF. I know FF is best for me and my family, and I always knew it would be, so I didn't even try it....but I do wish I had at least done it once.

That being said, you have no right to call people names. Calling a mother selfish is a low blow.
