Ick. I think this goes a little too far and it’s also not very realistic. No breastfeeding mom’s nipples are that small!

Hilarious! I probably wouldn’t have even clued in if I saw that in a magazine, at least at first

I think anything that suggests women shouldn’t breastfeed is horrible. I’ve never had bleeding or cracked nipples…and I’m on my 42nd month of nursing…

Okay, it’s funny, I’ll give it that. But I hate to see any ad’s that portray breastfeeding in a negative light. Not that nursing doesn’t sometimes hurt, but we don’t want that to get stuck in a new mom’s head and make her afraid :(

I say its right on! Why sugar coat breast feeding? Dont get me wrong, I have been nursing for a year and love it, but in the beginning, I hated it and felt like that lady in the picture. Its good that new moms know there is a product that can help them make it through the tough times.

Uh, Tracy… 42nd month of nursing?? Please tell me you had kids back to back! I’m sorry but there should be a cut off point with nursing. I was at the pediatricians a while back and this woman ( I just glanced at them at first) had a child of about four in her lap with their head cuddled close to her chest. I thought the child was sick and resting on her mother but no, after about five or six minutes the child gets up, the woman tucks her breast back in and says to the child “Do you want the other one?” The child nodded yes and lay down in the other direction and started nursing again. I just wonder what mothers like this are going to do when their kids go to college???? Fex ex it fresh I guess. Sorry, don’t mean to be judgemental but there is seriously something wrong with breastfeeding a child that long.

I think that ad is too weird. And it’s only painful when they first latch on and only for the first few weeks. Not when the baby is that big. I agree that it might scare people off breastfeeding. I also agree with Kara. I breastfed for 13 1/2 months with my daughter, my second child. I loved every minute of it but that was long eneough. I can’t imagine a toddler hanging off my boob.

I think it discourages new moms to breastfeed. yes, it’s uncomfortable and hard the first few weeks. But after that, it is so much easier and simpler to just nurse your baby. I’ve had two children, one was bottle, the other was breastfed for almost 3 years. If someone has asked me if I would have nursed my baby past 6 months I would have said no way. Instead I found myself nursing a 2 1/2 yr old. Only at night by that time anyway.

And I never had a single problem. No cracks, bleeding or soreness after the first few weeks. Except for some overflow at the wrong moments, I had it very easy. Breastfeeding is not always an uncomfortable or painful time. I truly loved and enjoyed nursing my child and miss it still

Giving birth hurts too but that doesn’t keep women from having children. We should give new mom’s credit for doing what’s best for their baby even if theres a little pain involved. And along that line, why should we keep it a secret? I wish I had known how much breastfeeding hurt in the beginning. It wouldn’t have kept me from nursing but it would have been nice to know what I was in for. New moms have enough changes in their lives to process. Why should this be an unpleasant surprise? I say the more you know, the better prepared you are to be a good parent.

Hell ya it hurts!!! It’s different with each kid though too, with my second I was only sore for a week, with my third I was pumping for 3 months before he could finally get on. I took him to the hospital at 3 weeks because he threw up so much blood that I though he had internal bleeding…..I was thankful he was okay but horrified to fnd out a nipple can bleed THAT much!! I’d say the ad is pretty accurate!!

I love it! Your nipples really do feel like theya re just going to fall off. Taking a shower is painful as hell let alone having your hungry baby latch on! But you just push thru all that and grin and bear it. I think the ad does a good job showing women what they have to look forward to and maybe they’ll be prepared witht he cream :)
