Do you think incognito posts making assumptions or comments about breastfeeding are just trying to take digs at breastfeeding Mums?

Like I'm talking about present and past posts, for instance the one where they said it's weird to breastfeed a 1-2 year old or talking about Mums being addicted to breastfeeding... Yadda yadda yadda. Do you think they do that to try and slyly take digs at Mums who breastfeed?

God forbid a child THEIR OWN MUMS drinks breast milk but absolutely fine to drink breast milk from another species!

Sounds like outright digs, not sly at all. I haven't seen a lot of that but comments like that always make me think of the Deperate Housewives episode where the mom was breastfeeding her young child (I think he was 5 or 6) and I just laugh because I start remembering other things about the show. Basically, I don't let them get to me. 2 1/2 is as far as I've gotten breastfeeding so far 🤷‍♀️ and I let all mine naturally wean

I don’t think the conversation is about breast milk vs cows milk but rather is breast feeding at 3 years old or older considering the best interest for the child since the nutritional value of breast milk past a certain age does not out compete with just feeding your child a health diet.
It seems like a lot of mothers breastfeed past three for their own self interest not the child’s, especially if the child is refusing to breastfeed yet the mother forces such interaction. Perhaps breast milk in a sippy cup works great!

Also no longer is developmental milestone considered in the same way as it once was for children under 3 compared to 3 and older. for example: walking, talking, eating. I’d imagine the next stage of developmental milestones for a 3 and up is much much different than a baby under 1.
3 year olds start to be capable of feeding self, talking more, and running/playing. And perhaps breast feeding a five year old for an example could cause regression.

The issue isn't the mothers who breastfeed it's the women who sexualize it. I even see it on Facebook posts of old hags and young hags saying "oh if the baby is old enough to hold their head up then they are old enough to use a cup". My favorite post on here was the Mum being anal because she was over another Mums house and that Mum started breastfeeding her child and she thought that was rude for HER child to see a breast

Still occasionally breastfeeding my three year old ✌️ come at me 🤗 I’ve had hate from people very close to me since she turned one, so I’m bare knuckled at this point. Breastmilk never ceases to be beneficial

People take digs on breastfeefing and formula moms pretty equally on here in my experience

I think a lot of posts on here are to shit on mothers some way or another. Women can be cruel and jealous

I’m lost

My daughter turns 6 months soon and will not stop crying. She has NEVERRR been like this at all. I put her down, she cries, I hold her, she cries. I am so tired and slowly going insane. I don’t know why she’s so sad. She doesn’t want a bottle, she doesn’t want to play and she doesn’t want to sleep. Someone please tell me this is normal or if I should take her to a doctor

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Really fussy and upset baby. Please tell me it gets better?!

Hey, my 11 week old is a fussy baby from day one. He has his good moments but generally cries a lot, doesn’t like change and is a sensitive soul. I find it really hard to leave the house with him. He’s showing signs of regulating better and tolerating things however, the past 3 days he has just constantly cried and is fighting all of his naps. He usually loves contact napping on me but lately he fights it and only sleeps for about 15-20 minutes. He has also been getting distracted during feeds.

I think he’s currently in the third leap but please tell me it gets better?! Especially those who have had fussy/alert babies. Do they settle and become happy & relaxed babies? 😵‍💫
