I hate it when people go to me,

Ewww omg you breastfeed, ekk! - (mostly my teen friends)

is so annoying!

its the most natural thing in the world!

Wait until they have babies and you can say "eww" to them.

Thinking back to being a teen I might have had the same reaction, but wouldn't have come out and said it. LOL People do grow up eventually.

You are obviously a mature teen honey - I wouldnt have guessed your age from your posts. And of course being a mummy is a big deal so you have to be mature to take on that responsibility - they are still kids which explains their reaction. I had my first at 19 and even a few on my friends of similar ages were weird about BFing. Yet the same girls are totally different now. I think that for some teens the see their boobs as purely a sexual thing - you know that they have another purpose too

i'll never forget hevz saying a girl once saw her BFing and said "oh i hadnt thought of that"

i never really got the eew breastfeeding, but i got "you're brave" a hell of a lot. erm, i've pushed a 9lb12 baby out of my fahlula with no pain relief, was in labour 23 hours and to put a baby to my breast that produces milk is brave!! hmmm, go figure!!

Just goes to show that teens can be immature! They wouldn't understand until they have a baby themselves I don't think. My friend said she won't ever breastfeed because her boobs are for sex and she'd feel 'wrong'

HannahGraceee · Jun 6th, 2009, 11:25 AM

lol

its just the way they look at me like im a piece of dirt, which is quite laughable!
i know they will "hopefully" grow up one day, but they shouldnt knock it untill they try it

I've had the same reaction or people going 'ooh still breastfeeding

?' like it was some terrible ordeal for me! V. annoying.

I dont find it disgusting at all! But i have to admit, if the child is over 2yrs old and still BF i find it a little disturbing.
