I was talking to my mom over the weekend about how LO isn't STTN anymore and up about 3 times a night. She suggested that stop nursing becuase "she has gotten all the goodies she needs" Wow mom, thanks for all the support. My H also said that I should stop nursing because "formula is just easier" he is constantly trying to give LO a formula bottle. He has started making remarks about how long it takes LO to nurse and to just give a bottle in the car. Has anyone else gotten push back from family about nursing? I love nursing LO and don't want to give it up but am tired of the comments and don't know how to tell them to back off and mind there own business!

Next time people give you shit about BFing, remind them that formula definitely isn't always easier. Use all PPs reasons. Tell them to STFU and then for good measure, maybe whip out your boob and spray them in the eye with breastmilk. Kinda like gettin' someone with a squirt gun.
If my husband started I would be tempted to nurse longer the more he complained. I agree with PP who would tell all the complainers to go to hell.
There is nothing easier, especially in public, than to pull up my shirt, unclip my bra and feed my baby. No supplies, no heating, no bottle bag or bottle to prepare or carry. It's always the right temperature and amount.
