Babies are Mammals

Just when I think I need to post something even if it’s borderline lame Hubs starts talking….

Watching an old episode of The Office:

Dwight Schrute:  Schrutes produce very thirsty babies. 

Hubs:  (looking over) Breast Feeding.  How do you feel about it?  They are saying on the internet that mothers should breast feed for 6 months. 

Me:  (laughing) Well, if you read it on the internet it must be true.

Hubs:  Seriously.  6 months. 

Me:  6 MONTHS?  We can see how things go.

Hubs:  They (my midwife clients) posted a study on their website saying that 6 months is your best bet to having a healthy baby.

Me:  Plenty of babies are fine without breast feeding you know….in fact, some babies won’t breast feed.  And some mothers think it’s uncomfortable and don’t like to do it.

Hubs:  Babies don’t like it?  They are mammals.  Mammals are meant to breast feed.

Me:  Really?  Mammals?  You’re going with the mammals argument?  You know most mammals only “cuddle” when it’s time to make a baby. 

Hubs dropped the breast feeding conversation immediately….
