georgia-redhead reblogged your post:"a kid sees that and automatically asks a million “why’s” No, they ask one "why" (if they even need to ask at all because plenty of them know already), and all you have to say to them is "They're feeding their baby, some people use bottles, others breastfeed". That's the end of it. It's not something beyond their comprehension. I never asked anything about breastfeeding because I actually remember being breastfed.
I’m not ignoring situations that pop up. Again, not at all what I’m saying. I’m saying that because of you I don’t want...
No you can use your education all you want, when you're not trying to make a point completely opposite to what your education is supposed to be enforcing.
And you will be forced many times to explain something to your child. If your child is able to ask questions, your child is old enough to be answered, simple as that. Specially when it can be a very simple question and you're making it out to be something it's not.
"Mommy, why does that lady have her top up and a baby to her chest?"
"That woman is feeding her child."
Why wouldn't your child be old enough to understand food? And if you plan on feeding your child with breast, you wouldn't even have to worry about that question because your child would know what's happening anyway.
You can not say you want to breastfeed your child, and then say you don't want to explain what breastfeeding is to your child.
You can not say you're not ready to answer questions when your child asks, and then be all for child education and being the best caregiver you can be.
All of your points are contradicting and invalid. You have to form one opinion and stick to it. And that is all I have to say. Good luck in your life and I sincerely hope you open your mind and rethink things.
