Kelly Rutherford Talks Breastfeeding
Okay, if you want to breastfeed your kid until he graduates high school, fine. It's your titty milk, it's your kid, have at it! But don't think that bitches want to hear about that shit. Especially, when your son can talk about it.
Pregnant Kelly Rutherford, aka forever Megan Lewis to me, told UsWeekly (via P6) that she still squirts leche for her talking 2-year-old son Hermes and she loves it. She said, "It's an amazing bond with your child. I was thinner after my pregnancy than before, and I think a lot of it was the nursing."
When you can make small-talk with your son while he's sucking on your nip, maybe it's time to invest in a bottle or two. Actually, I shouldn't judge. At least Hermes can tell Kelly if her breast milk is too warm or rancid tasting. That way she can go stick her titty in the fridge for a few minutes.
i once worked at a coffee shop. i worked the early shift (as in fishermen customers come in before they step on the boat) there were many containers we had for milk, and creamer. the dumbass i was working with told me one had skim milk in it...normally milk was in the normal milk containers. so, a fisherman without many teeth comes and orders a large coffee with skim milk, 16 sugars, or something crazy like that. I put the milk my co-worker said to use in... only later did it somehow dawn on me (maybe because it settled different in the coffee) that in fact, the shop was out of milk...this was milk, but the milk the manager pumped in the back office for her baby on her breaks.
These things happen! Bet that was the healthiest thing that man had in years! Maybe he even saw mermaids that day!
still, i think breastmilk rocks!
Breastfeeding must induce some kind of mental state in it's purveyor, because this comment comes after the Salma Hayek thing et al. I'm trying to imagine how it is like a bond, but that's pretty much beyond me since I've never been pregnant/had a child.
Anyway ever since I watched "Visitor Q" I can't think of breastfeeding without having visuals from the movie, and then my brain starts convulsing because some of that stuff looked painful.
Aquarius, I got annoyed when a woman who was pregnant with her first child condemned a woman for choosing not to breastfeed. She talked about this woman like she was satan's spawn. I tried to gently tell her that breastfeeding can be very difficult it's definitely not for everyone. Just because a woman chooses formula doesn't mean she's a horrible parent. This same woman had such difficulties with bf'ing that she wound up quitting very early. I hear all these stories about sexual pleasure and breastfeeding (never experienced it myself) but no one ever seems to admit that it can't hurt like a son-of-a-bitch in those first couple of weeks. This is a classic example where you have to experience something before judging others.

@filapurr:
I don't think it's a lie...women have reported feeling like that - it can't be the most fun lie to tell. I, myself, got some warm tinglies but they never felt sexual. Usually, I had an OVERWHELMING urge to sleep. As she got older it just got annoying, really. She was so big...as she got bigger it was more of a nuisance than a pleasure...and I was thinking about it today, there just came a point where I felt a need to set a boundary. But my kid's got a bossy nature, man - I have to keep that in check all the time, still.

ITA M.E. I never found anything remotely arousing about breastfeeding either. Multiple orgasms? Whoever came up with that lie? And it's supposed to get more intense after 6 months of age? My kids had teeth by then. Maybe it's a turn on for weirdos who have fetishes about getting bitten. For me, it was a matter of feeding my kid and stopping before they could chomp. I also hate all those lies about how breastfeeding makes you skinny. You lose a certain amount of weight, then your metabolism slows down so you can retain a certain amount of fat to produce milk. I didn't get skinny until I cut my son off.

she's doing it for sexual pleasure...a lot of women have multiple orgasms from BFing and they say it gets more intense as the kid gets older, especially over 6 months of age.

Sorry, but I never found breastfeeding arousing nor did I get even remotely close to orgasm when doing so.
Oh HELL no! When your kid can unbutton your shirt for a snack, its time to close the snack bar.

It really bothers me that people who have NEVER had a child from their body, think that breastfeeding past 12 months is bad! Educate yourself, man.
It bothers me when people have a problem with people who haven't had children expressing any sort of opinion or point of view regarding children. The fact that I have not physically given birth should not foreclose me from having an opinion on whether breastfeeding a 2-year-old is appropriate. Does the fact that Britney Spears has had two "boo boos" mean her parenting advice is more valid than mine?
I understand that people who haven't had kids can sometimes have knee-jerk opinions about things, and that these opinions can and usually do change once kids are in the picture. This doesn't mean popping a kid out automatically makes someone more qualified -- or the ONLY one qualified -- to dispense parenting advice.
Take Mrs. K as an example -- she doesn't have kids, and usually has the wisest advice of anyone on this site! I would trust her opinion over that of most parents, including my own at times!
ETA: Wasn't meaning that as an attack on you personally, Moriah, I see now that I probably misinterpreted your comment. It just seems that in every kids thread (including this one) there are at least 10 "you don't have kids, so you don't know what you're talking about" comments.

yes. i also know a woman who drank while pregnant and her child didn't get fetal alcohol syndrome. i'm sorry but i think your view on breastfeeding as an option is very unhealthy and kind of stupid. the world health organization says it's a must to do it for six months and very good to to it for two years. but you probably know better than those idiots.
I probably would stop breastfeeding at some point before 2 years. It starts looking weird when you're out in public breastfeeding a toddler as they get bigger and bigger. I've heard about women breasfeeding kids until they're nearly 4...those kids get grabby after awhile too.

I've had and breastfed two kids. For me, nursing past a year wasn't for me. Nursing a two year old, meh, ok, still a baby, but after 2, I don't think it's right.
But that is me personally.
ew. my stepmom breastfed till my brothers were like 3, I swear. she would just throw down in front of everyone, her dad and brother or whoever.
my lil brothers be all like, "nurse?"

I didn't breastfeed my son. I wanted to get right back into the work scene so formula was the way for me. I could not stand to hook myself up to a pump like some dairy cow either. Everyone in my family was raised on formula and we are all disgustingly healthy. However, I do know a lot of breastfed babies who seem to be very sickly. One of them inherited every one of his mother's horrible allergies and is sick all the time so I'm not sure where the La Leche nazi's get their self-righteous bullshit.
Not that I care if another woman breastfeeds, just don't get in peoples faces about it and act like your shit don't stink.

BangoSkank, I'm sorry about your life experience. Sometimes parents mean well but screw up majorly.
I put the asterisks around hippy because I'm not really a hippie. I'm more of a grown up goth. I've been called a hippy because of my BF-ing views. There is no freakish nudity or sensuality going on in this house. I'm more of a strict parent than a free one.
I think kids can get fucked up by just about anything. You can have perfect parents but who's to say your *nice* neighbor or your parents' *nice* friends won't do something horrible. That's probably why I have to have therapy.

Yeah, well, I'm the son of a proud hippy mom, and that bitch done effed me up. Not saying you're doing the same to your kids... But my hippy mother, with her freeness about nudity, sensuality --and yes-- breastfeeding too, had me in therapy for years. Just because someone means well doesn't necessarily make it right.
And please don't take this as a personal attack, this is one of those subjects that puts me on the attack. I wish you and your children nothing but the best.

I know a lady who is a freak. I call her a freak because she has been breastfeeding her oldest (who is now 7!!) since birth, his younger sibling and their newest additon, as well as pumping constantly and using the "left over" milk for the rest of the families "drinking" milk. They use it on cereal, oatmeal, a glass to drink.
That is totally disgusting to me.

Migraine Sally, I totally believe it. My son spent his 2nd week of life in the ICU. I wasn't making enough milk, & he'd lost a lot of weight. The lactation specialist really tried to guilt trip me. When you're already exhausted because of a new baby, then add the stress of him being so ill, it doesn't take much to lose it. She about had me convinced that I was the worst person on the planet if I didn't hook my udders up to a milking machine. The pediatrician set me straight. I opted for formula so I could accurately monitor how much he was ingesting.
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I went through something very similar, so I know how you feel. My dumb cunt of a lactation bitch GRABBED my boob and told me to "shove my tit in his mouth even if he doesn't seem interested." I wanted to scream "Motherfucker, get out of my fucking face." lol

Oh puh-lease! These bitchez aren't doing it for the well being of their kids! They are doing it because they think they will be thinner than ever, and they don't have anyone else who wants to suck on their crazy ass tits. Give me a break.

But I did love how when he'd piss me off I'd squirt him from across the room.
AHAHHAH! Good times, good times.
Thanks, ladies. It was a horrible time, but *knocking wood* I have a happy, healthy, scary-smart 5-year-old now! I remember different magazines asking when it really hit you that you were a parent. That was my defining moment. It's amazing the feelings that engulfed me.

The fact you knew something was wrong and did everything to make it better proves you are an awesome parent.
Some women would let their pride and fear get in the way and help would be too late.
"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!
M.E. - You make breastmilk sound mighty tasty! A friend of mine has an aunt who thinks that "nursing" can be an eratic thing for couples (ie. husband suckles wife) but most guys think that's disgusting and probably wouldn't even try it. I think she has even spoken at conferences about it or something.
And she's proud? Maybe it revolts me because I was botte fed as a child (I was a premie and spent 2-3 month in the hospital). Get this damn child a bottle already.
Ugh when I think about it it reminds me of that nasty bittie sketch from Little Britian. Just all shades of wrong.

Hey, it's all cool :) I have been taking things waaaaaay too personally lately, and I tend to post first and think later, a bad combination!
drama - you did what was best for you and your kid. Fuck that lactation bitch. When you are stressed out, it hinders your ability to make more milk.
I had a really rough time with my first, even though I was able to breastfeed him for a year, I was always with a low supply. Mostly because I was so nervous in the begining, didn't know what I was doing and kept second guessing myself.
With my second, I had done a bit more research and had a lot more knowledge and was a milk making machine!!! I had to pump one side while he nursed on the other. I could pump 24 oz out one boob. It was insane.
After a year, I cut him off. I wanted my boobs back to myself. He was still nursing around the clock at night. I was tired, started to dispise my breastpump, I was done.
He still got another 4 months of breastmilk thanks to all I had stored in the freezer.
I had a point.......
Shit......
♥♥♥ Bradi! ♥♥♥ Thank you for the offer, but after her story about her 5-year-old who still suckled, I think she's suffered enough!

LCT - I tasted my own breastmilk because I was curious as to what it tasted like and what my child was eating.
It tastes like sweet nonfat milk. Milk with 3 cups of sugar in it. LOL.
But I did not make a habit of ingesting my own milk. That was for the bebe. I'll keep my almond milk thank you.

I wasn't AT ALL trying to come off as shaming women who breastfeed. I don't have much of an opinion either way (although I do think doing it after they're in preschool or kindergarten is a bit odd). I was just telling the story because I mistakenly though tit (typo but it stays) was funny, definitely didn't mean to hit a nerve! There is no point in getting splattered with someone else's hot boobie milk if you can't laugh about it someday.
Migraine - Honey, I know you weren't talking about me. LOL. And yes, you've told me that story before. It makes me really angry.
My boss and his wife have 2 adopted children, and I remember being out with them once when their daughter was an infant, we were out to dinner, the wife was having a margarita and this woman came up to her and said "How dare you contaminate your childs food by drinking!!!!!"
I was SHOCKED. This woman just assumed that my bosses wife breastfed.
