If you know someone who is pregnant (whether you are a mother yourself or not), KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOUR SELF. No I don’t care why you think me choosing to circumcise is wrong, no I don’t care if you think breastfeeding is over rated, no I don’t care if you give me nasty looks and rude comments because I want to have a 2 year goal of breastfeeding. I DON’T CARE. If the child isn’t yours, then your opinion doesn’t matter. You do you and I’ll do me. I’m thankful that I live in a world where I can choose how I want to raise my child. I’m thankful that I won’t be forced to do anything that I don’t feel is right or necessary. Making a mama feel bad because of the choices she wants to make for her baby (born or not yet born) is wrong.

And to the mamas our there:

-If you want to breastfeed, GO FOR IT.

-If you want to bottle feed, YOU DO YOU.

-You agree with circumcision? Great!

-You don’t agree with circumcision? Great!

-You want to dress your kid in Walmart clothes or target clothes? Awesome!

-You want to dress your kid in all designer? Have at it!

-You want to have a CSection? Great! You are just as much a mom as the woman down the hall who gave birth vaginally.

-You want to give birth in your bathtub at home? That’s wonderful!

You do you and leave everyone else in the background. It doesn’t matter if that person talking in your ear is a stranger, best friend, sibling, parent, or whoever else. IT DOES NOT MATTER. We know our babies better than anyone else.
