Keeping Abreast Of Feeding Time
(My husband’s family does not believe in breastfeeding a baby beyond the first couple of weeks. I am determined to breastfeed for at least the first six months. We are visiting my husband’s parents and I have taken our one-month-old daughter into a bedroom to feed her. I hear my husband’s brother arrive and greet my husband.)
Brother: “Are you alone? Where’s [My Name]?”
Husband: “No, she’s in the bedroom, feeding [Daughter].”
Brother: *loudly* “Is she still feeding [Daughter]?”
Husband: “It’s not like [Daughter] can get her own food yet.”
Brother: “That’s not what I meant.”
Husband: “So, what exactly did you mean? That [My Name] has no right to feed her baby the most natural way there is?”
Brother: “Point taken.”
(That was the last time I heard anything more about my choice of feeding my children.)
