“…It Would Be A Damn Shame To Let Those Go To Waste.”
“Good. It would be a damn shame to let *THOSE* go to waste.” – OB to mother after asking mother if she was planning to breastfeed.

LOL what an awkward attempt at what I assume was humor. At least this OB was pro breast feeding! Just needs a little coaching on appropriatness (sp?)

Erm? Ok?
Did Mom say “Yes, I am!” and was OB being sarcastic? Or a failed attempt at humor?
Or did Mom say, “No, I’m not.” and the OB snapped this gem back?
It’s inappropriate either way.

“Sexual harassment makes me a sad panda!”
Humor… well, maybe, but I’m having a very, very hard time imagining this being said without a leer on the face. In which case, eeuuwww, whether this was a response to the mother saying she was or wasn’t breastfeeding.

Here’s hoping the mom was able to come up with something back- “I know, right?!” “Well they ARE pretty awesome!”
I got some odd looks from the OBs that asked me at every appointment whether I was planning on breastfeeding- I usually came back with something along the lines of “of course, that’s what breasts are FOR, right?!”
Apparently it’s not that simple to most people…but for someone who grew up watching nature shows and having baby animals…I always assumed that most women breastfed their babies. It was kind of a shocker to learn (after I was pregnant and researching) that it is actually not the norm in our recent or current history.

Baring in mind breastfeeding is what the breasts are for, the OB has a point!…shame he failed on the delivery of the point! Maybe less emphasis on the word ‘those’ would have helped! … You get the feeling he’s indicating at the poor woman’s breasts with wide eyes don’t you…*shudder*…just what you need when you visit a ‘professional’

Yes, the context is that when I said I was planning to breastfeed this baby, the OB gave my DDs a once over and made that comment. Turn down the creepy, indeed!
