I honestly think the teacher overreacted. It's healthy for your son to be comfortable around these matters, and asking these kind of questions. Someone teaching young children should be expecting uncomfortable questions, but I don't think this was the case. Maybe she's one of those people who's embarrassed about public breastfeeding or something?

God I hate those anti formula moms. FACT: were it not for formula, thousands of children would die each year. Not everyone can produce enough milk to feed their kid.

I honestly see no problem in asking the question. I feel like if the teacher had a problem with it then she should have addressed the problem, I mean, what else is someone teaching a 4 year old going to teach them other than social skills? Aside from that, it's a valid question and a good topic for conversation. Not to mention that obviously the op has taught their child good reasoning skills as well as how to rationally state an opinion. I have yet to meet a four year old that can list reasons for their opinion unless prodded by an adult.

OP what an intelligent young man you have! and that's cute he was concerned about his teacher and her baby. haha literally the cutest that he wanted to make sure her baby got what was best for it. all in all..in MYOWNOPINION..I personally think all he needs to be talked about is boundaries and privacy. and good for him for not looking at boobs as anything other than what they are there for

Congrats op, many parents would make something up or lie to there children, instead of just explaining to him clearly why you were feeding his younger sibling in that manner. good for you for your honesty and for teaching him. I feel sorry for his teacher, being embarressed by his line of questioning. I can empathize as a recent parent myself, I remember how everyone had an "opinion" as to how we should raise our daughter, and sadly most people were very forceful in their beliefs. going so far as to say that if we didn't do certain things we were unfit parents. One person who used that phrase told us our child should not own or play with any toys until she was 5 otherwise she would be a spoiled brat and not appreciate anything, and they were much older than 4. Whether or not people believe he was out of line, I wish that people would have been as nice, caring, and truly concerned as your 4 year old was for his teacher.

White blood cells and breast feeding are not even related to the subject. Nice try though.

although I'm sure it was a rather uncomfortable situation...but a teacher of 4 year olds should be aware of how curious they are. and that kids have NO FILTERS..not sure if maybe the hormones made it worse than it actually was...but in MY opinion...he sounds like a smart child that was just curious and wanted what was best for the teachers baby. he just went about it in a rather inappropriate way.

I hope you're rewarding him

sounds like a smart kid to me. ..

she should be more accepting and proud bc your son is educated while breastfeeding isn't for everyone it's still nice to know your son is educated you should be proud
