13 weeks and I feel shamed already
First time mammy, 13.5 weeks...🩶
I keep getting asked if I'm choosing breast or bottle...
I know fed is best, BUT I'd at least like to try breastfeeding.
My whole family (my mam, nanna, sisters, MIL, and SIL included), just look absolutely disgusted, distraught, and so uncomfortable when I tell them I'd like to breastfeed.
I've tried educating them, and explaining that it's natural, literally what boobs are for and all that matters is the baby is nourished... they just seem very outdated in their thinking and I feel like they're almost embarrassed for me ??? bizarre behaviour 🥴
I'm trying not to let this get to me and I'm sure I'll have less fucks to give later on, but I do feel quite shamed and unsupported on this already, and baby isn't even here yet...
Has anyone else dealt with familial judgement and low-key misogyny? How do you deal with it?
I know I should just focus on me, husb and baby, and screw everyone else, but I'd like to know others thoughts/experiences... thank you🩶
