What's your opinion on why boob nazis think they are better than everyone else?

Question

'd love to hear opinions from people that are NOT breastfeeders, PLEASE.

Maya, you can't tell me what the hell to do. Why don't YOU go away. Stupid boob nazi.

Answer 1

LOL it's funny how dumb formula feeders always refer to breastfeeders as nazis. Do you know nazis killed millions of people? I think it should be formula feeding nazis because that stuff you give your kids is NASTY.

And yes we are better than everyone else. We have better smelling, smarter, cuter, healthier babies than you. We are the best!!

LOL..i love when these dumb beyotches get so jealous of us. Makes me smile every day :)

Answer 2

Well, breastfeeding is healthy and normal. The immune system develops when the antibodies from the mother pass through the milk to the child.
There have been some people who believe that you should continue to breastfeed as old as 10 years old. Now, that is creepy. At that point, I am a firm believer that the mother is receiving some sort of gratification from the act.

I am not sure why you think that "boob nazis" make themselves feel more superior than others? Could you be more specific?

Answer 3

First off they DON'T think they're SMARTER OR BETTER, ANY more than the Cancer Society or AIDS Society or Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, what these groups share is KNOWLEDGE! Knowledge it is said is a dangerous thing, it is also a POWERFUL THING, because with it, you can change the world or at least some lives.

By that I mean, they have the knowlege to save the lives of Children and Babies by knowing HOW to preserve their milk and get it to children THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR, TO KEEP THEM ALIVE. So, as we see, knowlege is power! These women do this out of their time, their love and their homes, they spend their gas (not cheap) and get their clothes spit on by people like you simply because THEY CARE for people THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW.

Stay as far the f*ck away from La Leche League as you can. You wanna talk about right boob nazis...OMG. It was unfortunate, but I physically couldn't breastfeed my boys. Before I realized this, I was frantic and calling any and everyone I could for help, including LLL. They told me it was all in my head, stay away from my doctor, who was prescribing "evil" and "dangerous" meds to help my milk supply/production speed up, etc. When I realized I couldn't feed my son (this was with my first son), I called their local chapter and asked them to stop sending me their newsletter, stop having one of the "consultants" call me daily to ask how things were going, etc. The lady (chapter president, I think) shrieked at me, "YOU'RE NOT BREASTFEEDING? WHY???" (This was after a solid month of trying, and getting nowhere.)

Answer 5

Get over your feelings of thinking you are inadequate. As long as your baby is healthy and you are able to provide for them the best you can that is all that matters. Stop worrying what others think and do what is best for your child. If you have a hard time watching us breastfeed then don't watch, we deal with you bottle feeding in front of us and we don't care because the baby is what is important not you.

Answer 6

Not all women that breastfeed are like that but a lot are. I couldn't breastfeed because I couldn't produce milk. When my girls were babies and people asked which way they were fed, I'd just say they were formula fed. I would get a lot of lectures about why I should breastfed and how good it was for my baby. I'd just let the women rant and rave and then tell them I could NOT produce milk and it was really none of their business. I don't think it's anyone's business which way you care for your child.

Answer 7

I have TOTAL respect and admiration for any woman who can breast feed successfully. I just don't like when anyone makes someone feel guilty for something they may have chosen not to do, or physically can not do. In my personal experience, I gave birth to my daughter at 25 weeks gestation. I was able to pump my breast milk for her for the entire duration of her NICU stay (79 days). About 2 weeks before discharge I was taught by wonderful lactation consultants and nurses on how to help my daughter latch on. She had a very difficult time. Upon bringing her home, I continued to try to get her to latch on with the use of a breast shield, while I still continued to pump. Unfortunately, my tiny daughter just could not latch on long enough to sustain exclusive breastfeeding. Since she was a preemie, she had some difficulty feeding, even from a bottle, so feeds could last up to 2 hours at time (for 2 ounces). I was unable to keep up pumping, trying to get her to latch on, and preparing my frozen breast milk for her to actually eat. I really did want her to latch on, but it just didn't happen. I won't allow anyone to make me feel like a "bad mother" for not having fed her longer than I did (almost 5 full months). I tried, and so did my fragile child, but it just didn't work for us. There comes a point in time where some people have to decide what's important to them, quality of life, or living up to other's expectations. It would have done my daughter no good to continually get frustrated with breast feeding. She was only 4 pounds at 3 months old, and to me, getting her to eat, no matter the method, was MUCH more important than the breast milk itself. I do understand that nothing man-made can compete with nature, but there's nothing wrong with formula either. Like I said, I think it's absolutely wonderful that some women can breastfeed and stay totally devoted to it. I just don't like when anyone judges someone they don't even know, especially when they don't know the individual's circumstances. I'm happy that my daughter is now 4 years old and PERFECTLY healthy, even though she was only breastfed for 5 months.

Answer 8

Formula feeding sucks. It's bad for your baby, and thus breastfeeding is the only way to go. If you want your kid to be reasonably healthy and intelligent, I highly suggest you breast feed him.

Answer 9

I don't think I'm better than anyone else because I breastfeed. I think I am because I don't attack people for the choices that they make or lash out at people who give me answers that I don't like to hear.
I am better than you because I am tolerant of others' opinions.

Answer 10

Maybe you should join your friend and make a group of people who hate breastfeeders... just do everyone a favor and take it elsewhere.
