Hellobee Boards

Wow. I'd expect some of them from, like, every person you see-- how old, what's his name, maybe boy or girl (I would try not to ask and just ask another question and hope the answer came back with a he or she!), MAYBE where did you deliver, from like, a pregnant lady.

But the rest? Squarely in the none of your business category. Or at least, close friend category. Oh well, I guess overly personal questions are better than dirty looks and sneers from people who don't like babies?

Yes, I get a lot of questions like that!

Random people ask you if you breastfeed? Geez. And "Was he a preemie?" ????? Weird.

If a stranger asked me if I breastfeed, I might be tempted to start whipping it out and say "Yeah, wanna see?"

I've heard that people will ask the gender even if you have LO dressed in obviously gender specific clothes like a pink frilly dress with a bow headband. This is so strange to me!

I am dreading being asked about the labor and delivery and breastfeeding after the fact. Why do people think these are acceptable topics to ask a stranger or acquaintance??

I think it's just people trying to make conversation and offer advice. Honestly, it bothered me a lot at first, but now, I welcome people asking questions!

I love it when people ask me those questions since I like to hear other people's experiences. If it weren't for the Bee I wouldn't have known bfing could be so hard because I've never heard anyone talk about it in real life.
