How did you know that the child was full?

Remember once and for all, mothers do not haveno idea whether their baby is full or not. There are no markings on a woman's breast, like on a measuring cup, that show how many milliliters of milk are left. And babies, in turn, cannot say: "Mom, I'm full." Breasts and babies are not like a gas station where the process is automated. Mothers act instinctively simply because they have no other options! So don't ask them stupid questions.Photo: Getty Images

What, is it time to feed again?

The baby just ate, and his mother feeds him again, andAre you worried that your baby might overeat? Leave your worries behind, it is simply impossible for a baby to overdose on milk. If the baby is picky, capricious, or restless, then the mother gives him the breast to comfort and calm him down. This is natural.

You know you'll ruin your breasts, right?

First of all, stop lecturing about the harmbreastfeeding and horror stories about sagging breasts to yourself, at least out of respect. Secondly, according to the journal of aesthetic surgery, the skin, including on the chest, sags not because a woman is breastfeeding, but because of the very fact of pregnancy.

Perhaps you'd feel more comfortable if you covered up?

Do you know what the worst thing about this issue is?This is not a question, but a judgment. It will be more convenient for you if the woman sitting next to you hides her breast and baby under a scarf, but it will not make both of them more comfortable. For a mother, the first and main priority is her baby, and not those she is sitting next to in a cafe, passengers on an airplane, and so on. If you do not want to see the feeding process, there is a great way out - do not look.

I didn't breastfeed and my children are doing great.

That's great! But if mom wants to breastfeed, it doesn't matter what you did or why. It's a matter of choice. Accept it.
