Love your Groundhog's Day memes!

Funny in how over the course of my "lactating" life, I was the only family member who ever had sore nipples. My husband, wider family and even my weaned older children never complained once about how sore their nipples were as a result of breastfeeding. Did we do something wrong?

Similarly, I have worked with many "pregnant people" with gestational diabetes, but amazing as it may seem, the entire lot of them were natal females; I've never once met a penis haver with this condition. Have I missed out somehow?

Thank you, Milli…you’re doing the goddess’s work here with this documenting.

I missed the news about the Breastfeeding Network going full-on gender neutral ….though I’ve seen sneaky wording changes in their public facing comms.

Thanks Heather. Yes it's sad to see another organisation choose this direction.

I like "vaginally presenting" almost as much as "vulva bodies."

It is a classic that's for sure. Just when you think we have reached peak madness!

Thank you Milli. I was intrigued (or shocked) by the leaflet for children. Why would young girls have dry vaginas? Also, vaginas do not need special products because it's those products which disrupt the ph balance in the first place.

Yes that is really super weird isn't it. I've never even heard of such a thing!! And in the next breath they say not to use soap in the vagina. What do they think is the difference?! But mainly, what on earth are they going on about???!
