My Family Judges Me for Breastfeeding in Their Presence: Advice?

They’re you’re family, tell them to stfu and worry about their damn selves. Don’t be all nice about it.

Then fucking get out of my house.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, men

I can’t even imagine that from family. My family was so sweet and supportive, my dad would give up his favorite chair for me to sit in and rock my littles, bring me drinks and make sure I had what I needed near by.

I was shamed in a mall while sitting across from Victorias secret from some asshole family, decided it was not appropriate to be on display. I was told to go to the bathroom my baby. I was pleasantly rude back, suggesting that she should have her kids eat in the bathroom first, then I would consider it.

Tell the men to grow the fuck up and act like the grown ass men they’re supposed to be.

Tell em to fuck off. If they are offended or sexually aroused by you feeding your kid they need some serious mental help

Who gives a fuck about what someone has to say about your titties u do what u want

Tell them all to go fuck themselves!

Tell them to go fuck themselves and that your body was never made for their pleasure, your boobs are meant to feed your kid and so were their moms boobs. If they have an issue with it, tell them its no wonder the world is such a disgusting place to live in because men like them make everything about womens bodies.

Tell her to stfu and mind their business.

Tell your mother to get fucked!!! If she doesn’t like it don’t fuxking look!! I have preteen sons and they say mom your boob is out that’s after feeding. My friends and family don’t give a fuck. I won’t breastfeed in public as it’s new to me too!! And don’t let ANYONE TELL YOU HOW TO FEED YOUR BABY!!!

Tell them to suck it…

There always going to people who have a problem with breastfeeding thankful for now because most mother are respectful in feeding their baby. I breastfeed my last 2 children no problems

If it makes people around you more comfortable then I would recommend covering up.

It is a natural thing. If they are uncomfortable, too bad.

I’ve been breastfeeding for 6 years not the same child LOL at first they wanted me to cover up and you know what it’s really uncomfortable it’s hot for the baby sometimes you can’t tell if the baby’s latching right you know what tell them to screw it pull it out at the dinner table feed that baby if they got a problem with it then you tell them to go eat in the toilet or put a blanket over their head while they eat see how much they like it you are feeding the baby it is nothing sexual anybody that’s got a problem with it tell him to screw you and look away

Don’t!
Just do you!
Ignore them

Tell them if they dont wanna see it, then they can leave

My Dad asked when I was going to stop! I told him when he goes to college I guess I 'll have to. Dad shut up and my son wean himself when he was about two. Win-win.
As for covering up, either go into another room or cover up. Why make others uncomfortable? Nurse before dinner is an option. Baby doesn’t know the difference!

But if the men in her family are viewing nursing with breasts showing as sexual, I wouldn’t let them see a tiny bit, & nurse in private. We can’t force common sense on someone who sexualizes the sweetest act.

You do not need to cater to ridiculous requests. You are feeding a child. Would you have to leave the room or cover if you were feeding your baby a bottle? Their head and mouth are covering the majority of the breast anyway, but regardless, breasts were specifically designed to feed babies. It’s not your problem other people are choosing to sexualize them.

Breastfed all 3 of my girls,wouldn’t change it for the world,and they were all very healthy!!

I don’t get it did she cover her babies when she feed her child.

I have a 10, 13, and 16 year old that still likes to breastfeed. We do it in our home and only when we are alone. They understand there could be if others knew. And they also do not use their teeth. I still enjoy times like that.

No matter how natural it is- and I don’t deny that- it would be best if you went to another room to breastfed. It doesn’t help to do it in front of people who are uncomfortable with it.

I’d tell them to cop on to themselves, grow up or dont come visit. Ridiculous carry on.

Ask the men in front of your in law and tell them your breastplate protects the baby from diseases they may be carrying. Ask why wouldn’t they want the best for the child and grow up women have fed children the way God intended for millenia.

I would tell the uncomfortable to get over it. Mothers face enough isolation so much of the time. If others don’t like it or feel uncomfortable they can leave the room. If you find it sexual that’s your problem not mine.

Isn’t there other empty room?

Hmmmm…well when i breastfed my baby I was the one insecure cause I didn’t want to feel inadequate around others so i went to another room only if I wasn’t at my own home…but i sure wasn’t going to stop just because others felt uncomfortable…Breast feeding is a NATURAL thing and is what’s best for baby and has good benefits for mom too…Others just gotta get over it and grow up…our boobs aren’t toys for men to look at or play with boobs are meant to feed our babies.

As u say luv it’s your body and baby . It’s the most natural thing to do. If they feel offended then they r free to leave or go into another room . I don’t know what one of the other ladies but they breast fed and it was totally normal . I’m sorry but I breast fed my children and I’m 66now the men in my family understood and left the room . Please don’t deny your baby the richness of your breast milk for small minded people .

It’s your baby. If they are uncomfortable it’s their problem, not yours.

Well, breastfeeding is legal in all 50 states. You decide and speak up for yourself.

They don’t know my business period idgaf who likes what stay out my business I did it 5 years nobody knew anything :woman_shrugging:t3::joy:
