First, untwist your panties. Having them all bunched like that will make you walk funny.

Second, the fact that I haven't actually borne any children does not mean I haven't been responsible for any children's care. I cannot believe I have to explain this to an alleged adult.

Third, when your baby gets what he wants whenever he wants, he will grow into a toddler who expects to get what he wants whenever he wants.

Did I use words that were short enough for you to understand, or shall I try again?

Carefull...you're not smart or mature enough to patronize me....considering that you run around in make believe constumes....

Babysitting is not being responsible for children and is not a substitute for parenting.

You should realize that the first step of getting out of a hole is to stop digging.

You are rapidly moving from ignorance to arrogant stupidity by insisting that you have better parenting skills than real parents!

The fact that you would allow a tiny infant to scream with hunger because he didn't conform to some stupid schedule is really quite sad.

My family isn't big on rigid schedules, but I have been told my children are very well-behaved in public, and do very well at school.

Breastfeeding on demand is not spoiling a child. The fact of the matter is breastfed babies tend to need more frequent feedings than bottle-fed babies. Feeding a child when it is hungry is not "giving him what he wants". It's giving him what he needs.

Not breastfeeding "on demand" can lead to problems for mother and child one of which is the mother becoming engorged to the point the baby cannot latch on and suckle. I can tell you this is not pleasant for the mother as it is uncomfortable if not downright painful.

Nursing a child in public, if done discreetly and not in an ostentacious manner, is perfectly fine and legal.

You actually do not understand a baby at all, do you. A baby should be fed when hungry. That is not being a brat! Where would you have been back years ago when most mothers breastfed their babies in all kinds of places?
