That's exactly why he thinks the milk will spurt out. Didn't you watch the episode of Family Guy where Louis weens Stewie? Her breasts get engorged. He thinks they will spurt milk under pressure.

You guys are all a bunch of idiots. Breastfeeding is the best gift you could EVER give your children and if your husband/boyfriend/ cared about you at all, he would encourage you to breastfeed and not complain about having to abstain from playing with your boobs. Our first daughter is about turn 4 and we also have a 5 month old. He hasn't touched my boobs in 4 years. He doesn't care.

Wow, the judgement stick's really out on this one, isn't it? Breastfeeding is one of the most natural things in the world, and it is extremely beneficial for the baby to have at least the colostrum at the beginning if nothing else. It can aid the child's immunity, bond with their mother and general health. HOWEVER, there are problems that can arise by breastfeeding; mastitis (infection of the breast), HIV/AIDS, failure to produce enough milk, child won't take to breast and other things. If a mother would suffer, then there's no point doing it. And you certainly shouldn't feed your child with mastitis! The way I personally see it is that if you can breastfeed, brilliant. If you can't, and breast pumps are not an option, then it's got to be bottle fed! I had the latter due to a problem with my facial structure and I turned out great!

most babies today that are diagnosed with being allergic to breastmilk and put on soy milk are not actually allergic to breastmilk. there is an underlying issue but the drs are too lazy to figure out what it is so they switch to soy and the problem appears to go away until the child is older.

you FAIL for not breast feeding.

To everyone talking about how whole "breast feeding raises intelligence" thing.... No, it doesn't. There is a correlation between breast feeding and higher intelligence, but that does NOT mean that one causes the other. The reason that breast fed kids tend to have higher intelligence is because people OF higher intelligence and people of the upper/middle classes who can afford to send their children to better schools etc., tend to breast feed. Likewise, those of lower socioeconomic status and lower intelligence tend to formula feed. Mind you, this does NOT happen in 100% of cases, naturally. It is simply a trend. That is the only reason breast fed babies tend to be more intelligent.

what a wimp! he shouldn't be allowed to breed if he can't handle that stuff.

Unless you're HIV-positive, shame on you for wasting all of that wonderful milk! =p

You should have breastfed your child. Unless you have some specific condition where you've been told not to, it's been proven that's healthier for the kid so they can develop more immunity early. Your husband is pretty lame though if he's afraid of a little milk out of breasts. Some guys actually like to get a taste of the stuff, lol.

I'm not saying you deserve it but u should really have breast fed ur baby. I mean, the milk is there for the baby, not to make you a few cup sizes bigger. I'm not judging, I just don't understand why you wouldn't breat feed ur baby. U should have breast fed him for the first 6 months. There's no going back now but if u have another baby, breast feed it. Unless theres a reason--other than discomfort--why u didn't breast feed the first. I don't see how that's an FML tho. No body wants body fluid being squirted in their face...
