Re: A Breastfeeding TICKER?????

  •  where have you been? I think we've talked about these a lot. haha

     

    Apparently people see BFing as a source of pride so they want to show how long they have been doing it.

    I thought married had one.  I think they are good for encouragement when that baby is gnawing on your tit and you just want to give up.

     LOL!!!

  • I don't have a problem with them; I just don't like the one where the naked man is staring at his naked wife's ta-tas.

  • Someone should make a BF-ing ticker where the boob is on one side and the baby is on the other with its mouth open. Then, milk drops could move across towards the baby to count the months. That would be a truly nest-esque BFing ticker.
  • Wouldn't it be the same age as your kid? Or close to it? Can't someone just  have a ticker of their kid's age and be inwardly proud of what it means to them? It's such a personal thing and I don't see why it needs to be broadcasted to perfect strangers on the internet.

    I can (sort of) understand it if the person kept to the baby boards. But I can't be objective with political posts when I see that Adam & Eve looking ticker ticking away.

    AMEN. I was going to provide a snarky response letting her know that all republicans were not against gay marriage, but the boob ticker distracted me.

    It's the nekkid man/woman combined with "we have been breast feeding..." We who? Those tatas are only on one of those nekkid people.

  • So when I have a kid and we're working on potty training, is there a ticker with a toilet and floating thing of crap, too?

  • That is one freaky looking ticker.

    But BFing is pretty damn hard so I guess I can see where someone would feel the need to proclaim their awesomeness when it comes to BFing.

    I might make one proclaiming how long I've been a BFing loser.  Hahahaha.

    Only if it's from your DH's nipple. 

    ::reeling from the "we" in that ticker::

  • A girl on my local had a blinkie next to her BFing ticker that said something like "Joe loves milk from mommy's boobies." I couldn't read her posts anymore.

  • Good lord. Why oh why do people think that strangers -- or even friends! -- want to hear unsolicited information about their bodily fluids???

  • seriously, they are kind of nice on the baby boards, so if somebody's giving you BF'ing advice, you know whether they're expert or not...

    and caden, after you have one child, the BF'ing ticker isn't the same time as the age of any particular child, KWIM?

    The Girl is 5. The Boy is 2. The Dog is 1.
