“Honey, the pediatrician suggested we can start solid foods with our little guy. I am kind of excited! This is all new stuff for us!”

“Honey, that is so great! Can we give him cookies?”

“Honey, our little guy does not need cookies to be his first food. But you do have a good point – the pediatrician didn’t really specify how I should start or what kinds of foods I should start with. I don’t really even know how much I should give him! Oh no! This is becoming scary!”

“Honey, don’t panic. This must be a pretty common issue because Dianne and Abby just did an episode on this for the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast. Why don’t you go listen and that will probably answer a lot of your questions!”

076 - Breastfeeding Rules Designed to Control You Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

“Honey, I was talking about breastfeeding today with a co-worker when someone else we work with asked how long I planned to breastfeed. He said that his wife breastfed and he was supportive of breastfeeding, but that he didn’t see the value after six months and asked how YOU felt about it and if YOU support continued breastfeeding past 6 months.”

“Honey, that’s so strange! I have never even considered that breastfeeding doesn’t have value after a certain date.”

“Me either. I can’t even describe how that conversation made me feel. Kind of like society was trying to control my choices. It’s implied that partners should not support breastfeeding long term, and the only reason I can think of is sexual. That’s not ok.”

This week Dianne and Abby talk about how things may be said or implied to control your breastfeeding relationship with your baby. Maybe you don’t even realize that this is what’s happening! After you listen to this week’s podcast, you might realize that this has been happening all along!

“Honey, we were talking about sleep in my mom’s group. One of the mamas was saying that her baby has not fed during the night in months. I am still feeding our little guy during the night. Do you think there is something wrong? They said maybe he isn’t getting enough milk and that’s why he is still waking.”
