Ranger Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Anyway, I was bottle fed. My Mum apparently just thought the idea of breastfeeding too gross. I wonder if she considered all forms of physical intimacy 'too gross'? Obviously not the form that resulted in piper lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvergirl Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Not necessarily. Having sex doesn't mean you like it. Some people do 'put up with it' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonePiper Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 I suppose I had better comment on this development? My Mum's sexual. I'm quite sure of this. She's also considerably more physical than I am. The amount of times she insists on giving me hugs ... (I sometimes wonder if there's some kind of reverse oedipal complex happening :shock:). Anyway, I couldn't possibly imagine her being asexual. This, actually, is quite a good case for asexuality as a "determined at birth" thing. Despite all the love and attention and sexual discussion she gave me as a child (I learnt about the birds and the bees at age 3), I am still a flaming A. Anyway, I never really expected there to be any real correlation between breatfeeding and asexuality. (Although I'd be interested to see what the percentages are among sexuals. Does anybody know?). I guess in the end I just felt like staring a poll and justifying it by linking it to asexuality :P But as for me, I've had maybe half a dozen ear infections in my life, if that. (Although I've got a very good immune system anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbctv Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 breast fed for about a year, but still sexually inert later on. of course my mom was going to go the natural way. i was even born at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCatLover Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I put breast feed in the poll, but I know my mom had to switch to bottle fed when I was about three months old because of...um...some really bad infection (obviously, I can't recall what it was). I know she fed me soy milk until I was two years old. I overheard her telling my aunt that doing so can help reduce ear infections. My cousin had very bad ear infections which my aunt said lessened when she started giving him soy milk. Of course, I haven't done any outside research and that's a pretty small sample, so take it with a grain of salt, but I thought it was interesting.

Puzzle_chick Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Breast fed, it's been working for millions of years, can't see why it wouldn't work now. Anyway, I was a pretty healthy baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIito Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My mom was a militant bottle feeder. Yep. I didn't mistype. Militant. Bottle. Feeder. To the point that twenty-some years later she viciously mocked my attempts to breastfeed my own daughter. mocked... sabotaged... it's hard to say. Eh... I wasn't a huge fan of it anyway. I don't like my nipples being touched in ANY way as it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genetically_Dead Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Bottle fed mostly by my dear oldest brother. My mother was suffering from depression when I was born and I was rejected for a period of time. My brothers took care of me until my mother came to her senses and accepted I was deserving of love and care despite my being a girl as she so wanted another boy.

Genetically_Dead Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Fun fact for the day: Breasts are modified sweat glands.Just think of all those sexuals... getting worked up over sweat glands. "There are too many sweat glands exposed on billboards!" "No exposed sweatglands on TV before 9PM!" Kinda puts it all in perspective, somehow. Help!!! My sweatglands are out of control I'm growing out of another bra size!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinneret Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 ooh, oldie but goldie. And I guess I voted but didn't reply, before. I was breastfed. I did have ear and other infections as an infant and child, but breastmilk does contain some of the mother's immunities so I can definitely believe there's a correlation between breastfeeding and lower rates of minor infections. I am a million percent in favor of breastfeeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirenne Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Bottle fed - mom's nipples were basically inside out, and she was physically incapable of breast feeding. I had about a million and one ear/throat infections as a kid, to the point I had permanently enlarged tonsils by the time I was 6 or so. (They took them out when I was 7 to try to cut down on the infections - it helped to some degree) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerick Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I have no idea...but I'm pretty sure I was on a bottle because so was my younger brother. Breast milk is supposed to be good for infants and helps with fight diseases. I know I had cloth diapers because my parents are very environmental that way. We were not allowed to have many plastic toys. Mostly wooden and metal toys that probably had lead paint on them. My siblings turned out OK...

Pinaceae Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I thought about this too D: I was entirely bottle-fed as I was unable to suck. Its supposed to raise immune system and IQ, yet my brother was breast fed and he has loads of allergies, and I'mm smarter than him. Hmmm....

Sally Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Bottle-feeding/breastfeeding is kind of a generational fad thing. In the US breastfeeding has gotten popular in the last 10-15 years. It also depends on whether the mother has to work or not. Probably not a sexual/asexual thing because it's so situational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIito Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Bottle-feeding/breastfeeding is kind of a generational fad thing. In the US breastfeeding has gotten popular in the last 10-15 years. It also depends on whether the mother has to work or not. Probably not a sexual/asexual thing because it's so situational. Ya, these generational trends are killing me... the current trend is to not even consider having kids before 30 (35 to be safe <_< ), breastfeed, and be generally uptight about: germs, food, supervision, artificial colorings in foods, green-trendy, granola-crunchy, freakin nutty. Categories I fit into none of. I'm almost glad my daughter doesn't have friends yet because then I'd have to deal with parents who go ballistic because you gave their kid fruit snacks instead of raisins and juice with red dye in it, which, as you prepared, weren't watching the kids for precisely 14 seconds which is just asking for something horrible to happen!. Dear god, these women would be horrified to know that when I was a kid, my parents often didn't know my precise whereabouts for hours on end, or that as a toddler, I *gasp* played in my room by myself! No wonder so many women suffer from post partum depression... most of them won't even leave their baby in its crib for ten minutes because they think it's negligent... hell, for the first week, I even managed to convince myself something bad would happen if I went to sleep. Imagine that sort of over-supervision mindset going on for years and years and it's easy to see why so many moms have more stress issues than they should. argh... this is why i don't really prefer to have (m)any female friends... /rant.

stormwind Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I was bottle fed. The idea of myself breast-feeding a baby revolts me. I don't like to be touched. Especially not there. And especially not by a baby's spitty mouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
