Nhs workers

I am so sick of nhs workers discouraging breast feeding I’m already under a lot of pressure to stop with my 12 month old and I’ve just had another say infront of my mother you don’t want to be feeding at the school gates I mean wtf she’s just turned one! Sorry just a rant

That's not right. My little girl just turned one and still breastfeeds. I'm doing it until she tells me otherwise. You do what's right for you and little one

How strange. I’ve not had that experience. Sorry you have been discouraged. It’s your baby and body your choice and NHS/ WHO recommendation is 2 years and beyond anyway

In my case its not NHS but its my mother in-law. Its really can be very frustrating when someone start commenting like this 🥲

It really infuriates me the way people perceive breastfeeding these days. It’s nothing more than a mother feeding their child. No one would stop you giving them a bottle at the school gates so what’s different about a breast? Because society has deemed it as sexual? The main purpose of breasts is to feed your child. Anything else has come over time, people need to get their head out of their ass and realise boobs aren’t just for sex! I had someone telling me they’d reported someone for breastfeeding past 2 right after I’d told her I don’t plan on stopping feeding my daughter anytime soon!! Like come on! Why the hell would you report a mother for feeding their child!

Omggg reporting someone! That’s so bad @Beth

Who are those to comment on breastfeeding, feeding your child is beautiful whether its breast or bottle.

If someone works for the nhs they also shouldn’t be giving their unsolicited opinions, you can report them to their team/ manager / pals if they work for the nhs.

What? Why on earth would they discourage it. You should put in a complaint if I were you, it’s not for them to do that and odd as well as most NHS people promote BFing

I think it’s amazing mothers are able to breastfeed I wasn’t so lucky but I really don’t understand the discouragement . My manager still breastfeeds her child and she 2 going on 3 . You’re doing amazing that’s sad to hear about the nhs staff you have encountered .
