Popular Website ‘Bro Bible’ Shames Young Woman for Nursing Her Baby
This website should rename itself from Bro Bible to “Sexist Pricks who Need a Hard Kick in the Balls Forum”.

If the author is going to blast Chastity’s face alongside her diatribe then she could at least grow a pair and put her own images up so we all know who to never “swipe right” on again. Yes, It is a woman who … Keep Reading!!!

The Formula Fed Baby
When I was pregnant with my first breastfeeding was a given to me. It just seemed like the normal thing to do and I never considered anything else. I was under the impression that it’s simple – latch baby – end of story. I set up no support system, I didn’t do any research.

When I found out I was pregnant, I read the basics of parenting, but that Time article kept sticking in my head, so I Googled it, and was transported into a completely different parenting structure.
