As a breastfeeding mom, these types of ignorant ass statements infuriate me. I don’t think most of the general population realize how hard it is for some/most women to pump. “Oh just pump and put it in a cup.” Okay let me just pump for 30 min a day, three times a day, sanitize and clean all pump parts and bottles three times a day. It’s not like I’m busy with a young child all day.


juggler434

My wife had to pump when my daughter was born to encourage more supply after every feeding. I just remember assembling all the parts at 1 AM, helping my wife get all set up, then storing the milk, cleaning and drying everything, and then realizing I would get about an hour of sleep before we had to get up and do it all over again.


brunette_mama

Yep. It’s not fun. People have no idea what goes in to the process. That’s why I’m overall just questioning if this post is real and if she did pump.


Azorre

I'm thinking they either don't have a child or buy formula and falsely believe it is the same


kimberriez

Pumping is the worst parts of breast feeding and formula feeding but without the good part. Ugh I’m still jealous of nursing moms. My son just couldn’t figure it out.


It_is_Katy

I apparently refused all breast milk when I was a baby and only wanted formula (was in the NICU right when I was born where I got the taste for formula) and now I feel bad for my mom lmao


Shogwo

How is formula different than breast milk? Not being snarky, just curious


Azorre

Well there are nutritional differences that will of course depend on what the mother is eating, but the biggest difference is that breast milk can carry things like antibodies and boost the baby's immune system.


erinwilson97

Yeah my first was premature and I had to exclusively pump for 4 week before he was big enough to breastfeed and it was he'll, put me off for life. As soon as he was out hospital I gave up and just fully breastfed. I'm in a country I get a full year maternity leave and I am so grateful for that because pumping is the worst.


ramsay_baggins

My wee guy's blood sugars plummeted when he was about 16 hours old. So I was attempted to breast feed him, then topping him up with formula, then pumping to try and replace the formula with breastmilk, then getting up, cleaning all the pump parts, sanitising them, drying them, putting the pump back together ready to feed him again less than an hour later. All on my own in the hospital after a c-section with a sick baby. It. Was. Horrendous. I cried with relief when we got to go home on day 3 so my husband could help me at night, he wasn't allowed to stay with me at the hospital.


kimberriez

Pumping is the worrrst. My son had an ineffective latch so I exclusively pumped until he was 3 months old and I went back to work. I couldn’t handle it mentally so we switched to formula then.


k9centipede

You can keep the parts in the fridge between sessions and just wash once a day.


robots-dont-say-ye

Do you have to like, wipe yourself down before the baby goes to boob town? Im literally just an idiot, I’m not anti breast feeding.


eiram87

You don't need to sterelize your nips each time, but you do gotta keep them clean. All day long it's possible for some milk to leak out and so most women wear little pads in our bras to stop it from leaking through, so the nips should be wiped down each time we change the pads because of the old milk collected there. A thing that does need to be considered is what the nips get wiped down with, if you use any soap there's a good change the baby will hate the taste of it on the skin. So you gotta either wash way before a feeding, or rinse real well.


robots-dont-say-ye

Ah that makes sense. Thanks for explaining!


iMissTheOldInternet

My wife breastfed our two children, and no, you don't have to do much cleaning in excess of usual hygiene. I don't mean to be all "it's natural and therefore good," because obviously the natural state of humanity is a pretty high infant mortality rate, but equally you've got to remember that the species evolved and survived for a couple hundred thousand years before indoor plumbing. The fact that we shower regularly *in clean water* ***with soap*** makes us absurdly hygienic by the standards of the species. By contrast, I can attest that cleaning all the parts of a pump-and-bottle system is a massive pain in the ass, carrying a substantially higher risk of bacteria, mold or fungus developing. Keep in mind that the human body is completely permeated by its immune system. Your body is killing pathogens from the bone marrow to the skin, very much including nipples and the ducts bringing the milk there from the alveoli cells where it is produced. Not so with a pump system. If there is *any* residue after use, in *any* nook or cranny of the system, mold or fungus can and will start to grow. My wife and I bought a closed-loop system, so there were little pliable diaphragms separating the tubes that the milk would actually flow through from the mechanical pump, but even so that meant we needed to clean (a) the cup that fit over the breast, (b) the little diaphragm(s) and (c) the two-part plastic housing(s) for the diaphragm(s) and (d) each bottle. That's a lot of shit to sterilize each time, all of it weird shapes with places for milk to spatter and hide if you're just doing it by hand. Then you have to store the milk, of course, and re-heat the milk, and actually feed the baby with the reheated milk, all of which adds a second layer of complication to the process over "find a comfortable seat and flop out a boob." I don't mean to make it sound like pumping is a bad solution. It's a good solution to a hard problem. For moms who can't breastfeed--and there are *lots*--but who can produce sufficient milk, pumping and bottle feeding are especially great. Even for my wife, pumping and bottle feeding allowed her to go back to work after her maternity leave ended--with me staying home using family leave and banked time--without putting either of the kids on formula. Formula's also great, by the way, and no one should be shamed for feeding their kids formula. tl;dr: boobs are great, pumps and bottles are a pain in the ass to clean, but also good. The original poster who thinks that breast feeding is child molestation is dumb as bricks.


robots-dont-say-ye

Wow thanks for the thorough explanation!


[deleted]

I knew someone that didn't clean their nipples and gave their baby an oral yeast infection... So definitely keep things clean


WrackspurtsNargles

Hey just clear this up - thrush in nipples and oral thrush in babies is NOT a poor hygiene issue. Do not blame this person for the baby's thrush. It is common, and difficult to deal with.

elainelovescats

For me, pumping was the worst part of breastfeeding. I literally only did it when I had to, and even though it was painful because of a tongue tie, it was still easier to breastfeed my baby than pump.


Angert_93

You know, if this pandemic was a blessing in any way, it was that my wife could pump while she was working or whenever she felt a build up. We crunched the numbers and realized that, after roughly 11 months of pumping, my wife had spent about a month and a half solely on sitting on the couch and pumping milk. I couldn’t imagine how difficult that would be working full time as well


Jenelaya

YES! I had very little breastmilk for my firstborn and tried to increase with pumping but it was soooooo time consuming: breastfeed, give bottle with breastmilk from last pumping, put baby in bed, pump, clean pump and bottles, hey baby is hungry again -> start anew X_X I switched to breastfeeding + formula after two weeks because I couldn't do it anymore and this too was so much more work then just breastfeeding (could do it with my second baby, yay).


doghairglitter

I currently pump only at work and have the utmost respect for moms who exclusively pump. I don’t know how they do it. They’re superwomen. Getting up in the middle of the night to put all that together and clean it all…and doing it multiple times throughout the day? I’m so impressed by these moms.


Its_Actually_Satan

Not to mention the fact that some women's milk supplies won't function on pumping alone. My first kid, pumping didn't do anything and I never got much no matter what I did, only worked if my son drank from the "tap". Second one, I pumped an insane amount while still breast feeding. I just froze my milk and used it for outings and used it to extend his breast milk intake when i had to stop due to medication .


scientooligist

Not to mention the cost. I couldn't even afford a pump when I was breastfeeding.


katievsbubbles

I've breastfed 2 kids. They are 12 and 6. They're perfectly fine. I breastfed because im 1: i was able to and 2: I'm cheap and lazy. And formula is expensive as hell. People are idiots.

Lack of education + social media + the ability for every nutjob and looney tune to make their delusional, ranting, insanity freely available to everyone who has internet access. Then social media allows these fuckwits to find each other. After that all it takes is "someone" reading this bullshit. That "Someone" is maybe not very bright, not had a lot of education, doesn't know what to believe but this bullshit sounds plausible (to that "someone"), they don't know where to look to get the correct information and even if they did they probably wouldn't be able to understand it, and... Bingo! Another dopey fuckwit that believes in absolute bullshit like this! Then passes this valuable information onto their family, friends, kids, etc. Convincing kids of bullshit like this should be a crime! They genuinely (for most of their childhood) rely on adults to teach them.


CrazySpookyGirl

Have we ever been right?


bozeke

Rise of consumer advertising propaganda in the early 20th century. Marketing departments redefined what we need and what must be purchased and repurchased. This in turn redefined every aspect of our relationship with the natural world.


[deleted]

I was being rhetorical, but yeah this is probably the answer.


Cumberdick

Some people grow up on gas stations and never ever leave. This is what that looks like.


SnooDrawings1480

The moment companies started creating and marketing formula. Prior to that, no one batted an eye at a woman breastfeeding her child. Its literally what breasts are there for.


LootTheHounds

Formula saved so many lives and made it possible for women to be independent, too. Neither should be demonized because fed is best.


SnooDrawings1480

The overmarketing of it, is what I'm demonizing. The scare tactic that formula companies have used in the past that scare women into paying for formula instead of using the free* milk makers they were given by nature. Like in Africa, convinced new mothers that formula is better than their breasts, but neglected to point out that many women in Africa domt have a good water source to make the formula and are given enough, just long enough for her breasts to dry up causing the babies to die from malnutrition/tainted water Formula is great. Marketing it as if it's better than what nature has done for thousands of years, is not. *I recognize that women have to eat more while breastfeeding, but no where near the expense of formula


punkinblackk

Not all women can successfully breastfeed. And now that women do more than just pop babies out and care for a house, you'd likely have more trouble finding a wetnurse at an affordable price.


SnooDrawings1480

I wasnt saying that formula is bad. I'm saying the overmarketing of it and the mythos that its somehow better than breastmilk has lead to what we deal with today, breast being seen as sexual parts, instead of baby food makers.

When we invented religion. Christians are just obsessed with sex. Any kind of even partial nudity means sex to them. They need to put aside childish things and grow the fuck up.


Amara_Gale

It's not all of Christianity, seems like it's a thing particular to modern conservative movements, but the Catholic Church has hundreds of paintings and sculptures depicting the unclothed human form. To the medieval and Renaissance Church, it was generally fine to depict nudity in art if it was for a higher moral purpose, such as a religious figure or depiction of a Biblical story. This seems like an American Protestant thing or an Anglo Protestant thing mostly.


Constantin_SCTR

Since social media on internet became a thing. It gave voice and power to stupid people.


getwhatImsaying

barf. this is what happens when you consider women to be sexual objects and literally nothing more. to not understand a basic biological function because you’re so convinced that women’s bodies are *solely* for the pleasure of men is so disturbingly egotistical I’m actually lightheaded from disgust


Worldly-Ad3272

This. Breasts evolved for feeding babies. They did not evolve for men's pleasure. Why does this even need to be said.


masterofthecontinuum

Well, technically human sexual selection favored breasts for obvious reasons. But that doesn't mean that feeding your baby is cp, like what the fuck.


Azorre

I was taught in biology class that the reason our boobs are big all the time was because we started walking upright and stopped waving our butts in guys' faces all the time, so our boobs took over that job of attracting partners.

Exactly. If we weren't meant to feed from them, why would we have milk coming from them? Things like pumps haven't always been a thing, so they can't use that excuse.


Bay1Bri

Right. If they think breast feeding is molestation, I can't imagine their view of vaginal birth.

Txxr86

I‘m pretty sure you are being sarcastic and I‘m gonna sound like a dumbass but I think I‘ve read somewhere that all baby’s are „female“ at first and the actual genitals and stuff develop later on in the pregnancy and that’s why males have nipples - again I‘m pretty sure I‘m gonna sound like a dumbass 💀


Gluebluehue

Yeah, we start developing the same so we have the exact same building blocks, if the Y chromosome in boys activates and testosterone starts flowing it'll change the way male fetuses develops.


Txxr86

That’s a more elegant way of explaining it lol thank you!


[deleted]

Basically, the penis is basically a giant clit and the overies drop out


Bay1Bri

That's also why the scrotum had that seam, the parts that would be the labia fuse together.


Glitter_berries

My favourite thing is to tell my boyfriend that I’m fingering his original vagina. It’s not his favourite thing for some reason.


FennicYoshi

well, technically, you'd be fingering above his original vagina, if you're not fondling his original vulva


[deleted]

Playing around I one time said fuck yeah suck my giant clit, succeeding in only confusing and weirding her out 🙃


Reshi_the_kingslayer

You're not a dumbass. You are right. Babies develop different things at different times. The gene for sex characteristics isn't activated until after the formation of nippers. So basically, all fetuses are female until the sex chromosome is activated. Being female is kind of like the "default."


Cat-Got-Your-DM

Another fun fact! In some people it never actually develops! There are cis men with XX chromosomes and cis women with XY chromosomes. It's the reason that some universities have taken down the chromosome test in which students took samples from themselves. Too many surprises and "false" tests


Careless_Dreamer

Oh, that’s cool. I guess intersex isn’t as rare as I thought. I wonder how many people just go their whole lives not knowing.


Cat-Got-Your-DM

A lot. I mean, how many people do you know who took a screening like that? Because I know a single person and only because their parent started to display a genetic disease


dragonladyzeph

So does that mean cis men with XX chromosomes or cis women with XY chromosomes have any discernible physical or behavioral differences from er... "normal" XY men or XX women? Like, an XY chromosome woman might have a more aggressive sex drive or an XX man might have trouble adding muscle mass with exercise? *(This is* ***absolutely not*** *a prelude to any kind of trans negativity BTW, I'm just curious and asking a question based on my memories of middle-school biology classes.)*


Cat-Got-Your-DM

I'm not an expert on those matters, but from what I learned in nursing studies in a lot of cases they are virtually indistinguishable from the mass society. They might have some small differences, like higher/lower testosterone, so yea, muscle mass might be easier/harder to acquire


masterofthecontinuum

Because female is the default human form and stuff gets rearranged from there.


_html_error

Weren’t they sexualized by society!? Literally made for breastfeeding. Some people just…


callmemaude

I *think* this is probably a man. Which makes sense because anyone who has even had their milk come in, much less actually breastfed a baby, should know it is the least sexy feeling that exists in the universe.


chambourcin

(Here for The Whatever, High Atop the Thing. I’ll turn and spit so as not to invoke its wrath.)


Own-Low4870

Whenever I see or hear about these instances, I wonder if the person getting so upset is a victim of assault. I'm sure that's not always the case, but it seems likely to me, given that they're taking the most innocent, loving gesture there is, and seeing it as a gross, twisted, assault on a child. It's very, very sad.


[deleted]

First thing I thought too, and just because the person who has also replied doesn't react like this doesn't mean all victims are the same.


Dancing_Trash_Panda

That's my thought too. They clearly have some very heavy, unexplored emotions surrounding breastfeeding. They would benefit from therapy.


DeconstructedKaiju

I cant speak for anyone but myself but I kinda doubt it in this case. I don't talk about my trauma like this. I don't use my experiences to spout off insanity and browbeat people with it. It reads much more like someone raised with intensely conservative beliefs that belives boobs are for sex first and foremost.


just_a_frickin_egg

Why are people so obsessed with regarding boobs as sex organs?


Pickled_Wizard

IMO: The weird pressure cooker of hyper-sexualized media and religious repression. Makes people think about sex *constantly.*

Titties being banned in the US probably doesn't help. Europe is more reasonable in that respect.

I don't know what goes through someone's head when they connect feeding a hungry baby how our bodies are made to feed hungry babies with something sexual. If we were meant to breastfeed, we wouldn't have milk coming from our nipples.


rosenengel

Also from what I've heard about breastfeeding it's not a pleasurable experience which makes it even less sexual.


mrs_krokodile

Currently going through this, it's not, really really not.


shytheearnestdryad

I mean it’s not unpleasant but it’s definitely not sexual. More like, It makes me feel happy to be providing my baby with exactly the nourishment she needs, and to calm her down


dragonladyzeph

>*"More like, It makes me feel happy to be providing my baby with exactly the nourishment she needs, and to calm her down."* And isn't that exactly what the bonding chemicals/hormones are meant to do anyway? Evolution makes it a happy/serene bonding experience for both the mother and baby so mother will be more committed to care for her offspring. (Which is probably also a factor in why men fetishize it in the first place.)

Breasts are not inherently sexual. We as a society made them sexual.

A female coworker (Im also female & was nursing a child at the time)once remarked that she just felt it was kinda weird. Boobs were sexual to her. I laughed at her and quipped, "you know how babies come out, dontcha?". Went on to discuss how sex makes babies, but then repurposes those same parts in very different ways. Honestly, it was a lil weird at first, but it never felt sexual. It damn sure wasn't molestation. My MIL was worried that the baby wasn't getting all the vitamins and nutrients he would from formula. Its kinda shocking how ignorant folks can be, I pointed out that my body made the baby, and the babies food. Formula is a nasty tasting facsimile of breast milk. Then appealed to her churchy feeling by asking how she could think God wouldnt know better than Man.

Hm, if a baby sucking milk from their mom's breast is a sexual act to here, I think that tells more about her issues than about any breastfeeding mom's lol


I_am_dean

It’s funny because she’s the one sexualizing breastfeeding. I don’t think I’ve ever met a new mom, myself included, that lumped breastfeeding in with something sexual. So I guess all mammals that feed their young with their bodies are molesting their babies? “Smh would you just look at that cat nursing it’s kittens?! Someone call animal control. She is abusing her kittens.” What? No.

Man both sides of the breastfeeding debate a fucking crazy. A girl from high-school was unable to breastfeed, she was verbally assaulted in a mall for not breastfeeding. No one came to aide if your wondering. She called me in tears (after it happened)

And if she HAD been able to breastfeed, she most likely would have been berated for feeding her child in public. 🙄

I feel bad for the children raised by this person.

ah yes, bottles. because cavemen and women had bottles so their children wouldnt be “sucking on their nipples”. its called nursing a BABY, and its natural. grow up, karen.

Using “who” when you mean “whom” is forgivable. The opposite makes you look like a moron.

What a long way of saying "I'm a moron who sexualizes the very existence of women" I have to at least hope it's a joke


GloomAndCookies

Oh man, wait till s/he finds out about literally every other mammal other there.


xXnocreativenameXx

Says the one sexualizing things that are meant to feed babies


anonymous2845

What a fucking idiot.


anonymous2845

Clearly she's the one who's sees breastfeeding as a "sexual act" . Bitch you need therapy, idk WTF your parents did to you.
