That is great, and true.
They forgot my favorites
Just feed them a bottle when out in public.
Babies should be on schedules, so why go out when you know they are going to need to eat.

So funny. Thanks for the laughs!

This one has a little too much truth to be funny to me, though - I see this sentiment on this board a lot:

I think it’s offensive for someone to say breast is best bc I personally did not breastfeed, and anyone who breastfeeds or encourages others to do it is doing it AT me.

[spankswife]

YES!!!

[hermione]

Well that didn't take long at all!

I almost peed at the part about dangling the baby off a bridge and feeding her tuna.

(And YES, I did my Kegels, but still have to limit funny content I read on a daily basis.)

Nailed it!

I decided I had no interest in breastfeeding over 2 years ago. Why would I be looking to take offense at those offering encouragement to people who want it? How weird.

[mellimel19]

Those are pretty spot on! Gave me a good laugh this morning

[carolinagirl831]

good laugh

[lo]

I briefly thought about posting this on my local fb bf group, but realized it would probably go over like a lead balloon with many of the members.

[gibbinator]

The first half could have been copy pasted from this board, lol.

I'll add one:

Breast is best...until they can ask for it

(or some Bullsh*t) - @supergreen I'm thinking of you, especially as DH keeps asking when I'm going to wean, even though DS loves nursing more than ever.

Had to poke the bear, did you @vicmo?

And it didn't even touch the "Just use a cover!" and "You don't eat under a blanket so why should my baby?" interaction.

I certainly don't take offense at all, but I definitely sit there all awkwardly quiet when my moms group spends an hour or more discussing breastfeeding issues problems/triumphs/tips/tricks.

This may be because I would've loved to breastfeed, but my kid is adopted and those drugs from Canada and pumping for 8 months to produce half an oz of liquid gold didn't seem like a viable option.

I once heard "formula is a wonderful option if the mother is dead!"
Lmfao.

ETA from someone IRL. not even on the Internet. I'm scared to know what she says on the Internet if she says this shit to people she knows.

[scribellesam]

Lol. These remind me of when I used to lurk on my old BMB on TN. "My boobs are for my husband" drives me particularly batty.

[estrellita]

Ugh, this is part of the reason I am having such a hard time. I Google looking for suggestions or stories similar to mine and I see post after post about how oh, I just need to have baby nurse a lot, that will give me more milk! Oh, he won't nurse? Just do it anyways! Get rid of the evil bottle and formula! Except you know, he'd probably be dead by now if it weren't for formula.

Moral of the story is I should have just come here first instead of Googling so much. I think that's what made me crazy!

[litasail]

LOL @ "Is she an IBCLC? Because if she’s not an IBCLC, she’s basically a barista."

You know googling is always a bad idea! Hang in there.
