Name: NoahsMama06 [ Original Post ] I did not breastfeed Noah and I am not planning on breastfeeding this one either. It is just not something I am comfortable with at all... I have no desire to even try. I get the heebeejeebees just thinking about it. Breastfeeding is great for some people, it just isn't for me. I've come to terms with that so why can't my in-laws? They really wanted me to breastfeed Noah but I stuck to my guns. Noah has never had an ear infection and he's only been sick once. Now they are on me again to breastfeed this one... except they are pressuring me even more. Both of my sister-in-laws breastfed their kids and that is great... more power to them! But I am not them! I've already decided I'm going to bottlefeed and I know I am not going to change my mind, so how can I get them off my back and accept my decision????? ↓

Tell them that if they want the baby breastfed so badly, they can find a way to do it themselves. Also explain that your baby isn't going to die or spontaneously combust if you don't breastfeed it. ↑

lol--thats funny---spontaneous combustion........ my sil was the exact same way---got the heebeejeebees about it too (she says they were her hubbys only---saw them as sexual, not as a baby food source) :) She had a lot of peps pressuring her too---she just had to lay it out straight---that it was absolutely NOT an option for her. Just have to be blunt about it...... ↑

ive always wanted to breast feed ever since i was young and it doesn't bother me at all, but if it did then i would tell every one off about it, i would just say it took too long for your milk to come in and she wouldn't latch rite lol ↑

Tell them straight. Use the words 'back off' firmly if they push you. It's your baby, your breasts, your choice. ↑
