what should I do about these people?

Question

I hate people who are pressuring me 24/7 to give my baby formula. I breastfeed him and I know it's enough for him because I pump 1 and a half bottle and sometimes 2 bottles for him. But am tired of people telling me to give him formula and that he will grow up fast and if I am doing formula and breast milk together.

How do I answer them? I want to tell them to fuck off in a nice way. Thank you

Answer

"Your opinion is noted, but unneeded. Please don't continue."

Or "Eat my a**"

Whichever you're feeling that day

Answer

I get the same thing from my family. And my girl is 15lbs at 3 months! My ped made a joke that I could sell my milk for $25/gallon BC she's doing that well. And I still get those comments. 🙄

Just say, no thanks. You don't need to justify your parenting to anyone. I love this nugget I learned from a coach --> "No is a complete sentence."

Say no, and drop mic. You've got this.  💪🏼

Answer

So weird normally you hear about the obnoxious people telling formula feeding moms that breast is best. I guess it really doesn't matter what we do someone is always going to have a comment. I'd just say my baby my choice or his/her pediatrician says baby is growing perfectly fine. If they want to be really pushy just tell them breast is best. (I personally think fed is best but if someone was being obnoxious I would probably say this just to be a jerk)

Answer

No one will ever be happy.  I find it weird though, here where I live everyone is very breastfeeding friendly.  My son started crying one day and an old lady said oh he's hungry he must need the tittie.

Answer

Some babies are just small.. my daughter is Petit and if her drs thought she was underweight then they would tell me lol

Answer

"Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely consider that."  Then do your own dang thing

Answer

Just complaining to hubby about this today!! If one more person tells me to add formula I will SCREAM! yeah, she is just a little thing, but so am I! All the women in my family are! Just because she is little does not mean she is unhealthy, and it definitely doesn't mean I'm not getting her enough food. So *shut up*!! 
If you find a polite way to tell people they can pound sand, let me know!! 😠

Answer

I appreciate that formula worked for you, but this is working for us.
