[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]I say this as a woman who breastfed (for a while): If you do exclusive breastfeeding you are setting yourself up for a "Mom does everything" dynamic from the get-go.[/i]

This right here.

In terms of “what happened?” I’d argue a push to breastfeed is one of main drivers of inequality.  The mom is the only one who can feed the baby and is in charge of feeding the baby.  Meaning she takes on the emotional labor of when to feed.

I completely disagree.  Y'all just married terrible husbands and come from dysfunctional families. OMG!

I EBF for 9 months and breastfed for 3 yrs.  My DH was my rock who took care of most of the household chores for the longest time, arranged the outsourcing etc, on a very tight budget, so that I could breastfeed.  I pumped one feed so that he could do the 4am feed in the morning and could sleep in. I am shocked to hear ho little DHs are helping. Yikes.   Also I am a sahm.  Only women disparage my choice.  Not only the choice to be a  sahm, but they are usually pissed that my DH helps at home a lot.

PP.  who said my husband didn’t do the same thing you’re did?  Sorry but unless you’ve EBF one baby and FF another, you don’t really understand the difference.  You’re not in a position to understand what a burden breastfeeding is on a mom because you’ve never FF.  It’s comical that you’re bragging about your DH doing household chores.  [/quote]

Of coure I am bragging about my DH doing domestic chores, and of valuing breatfeeding, and earning enough that I can continue to outsource chores even no that the kid are gron. Duh!

I EBF both of my kid for 9 month each.  I actually enjoyed spending time ith my babies so for me it was not a chore. It was never ever a burden for me.  YMMV.   Also, both of our kids are NT biological kids in a stable and happy marriage. Sheesh.  It is not as if I adopted children or got a surrogate to birth them and could not produce milk,  ffs.  My supply did not tank, my babies did not have a problem latching, I did not have any problem getting pregnant, birthing them, and nursing them.  I had a ton of support at home.

[b]Why did you have kids or get married to loser men when you are educated and earning?  You find nursing your kids a burden? Why have kids?  So TOXIC.  You did have kids when you had some control over your reproductive rights, correct?  Abortion was available? Birth control was available[/b]? [/quote]

Your post is very aggressive and unhinged.  You shouldn’t be this upset but PP.  something else is wrong.  Please get help. [/quote]
