Transcript

I think people that exclusively breastfeed are lazy. And before you get your panties in a bunch, I'm talking about myself. There's no way I could get up in the middle of the night and make a bottle or heat it up, feed it to her, or any of that stuff. I've been out of my house since I woke up this morning and I didn't think about packing bottles or hot water or like, I can't do any of that. So props to formula feeding or pumping moms, feeding or pumping moms. Couldn't be me. Like at 2 AM, you're getting out of bed to go stand up for 10 minutes and like, no girl.
