Luvs Commercial

[frugalmama4]

My two cents

All hek here's my two cents...I thought it was FUNNY AS HEK!

Yep funny! Why b/c for a young man no more then 21-25 he probably haven't seen this before...up close as so. So the look on his face was funny to me. And the act it self was so true to me!!! I BF my last two kids "got four total" and with the first I was so ashamed to BF in public I thought it was a BIG no no...but by kid # two...I was all like the hek with covering up it's hot as hek in TX kid gotta eat. Totally Funny ::::::

I have no problem with bf'ing in public as I did, although discreetly. My only issues with the vidoe are 1 - what does bf'ing in public have to do with diapers? and 2 - if we want bf'ing to be a "natural" thing then why bring attention to it in the video? If they wanted to show the mom nursing her baby, then why not just have her nursing but not draw attention to it? Isn't that what most that bf want? The right to nurse without it being made into a scene?

Meh....
I saw this commercial a few days ago and thought the point of it was funny.
We do change quite a bit after the first child. We may get the fancy schmancy diapers for the first one then realize that the cheaper Luvs work just as well.

FYI....There was much more "boob-age" on the commercial that followed. I think it was for a burger There seems to still be a double standard. Boob for sex = okay. Boob for food = not okay.

Whatever.

Yep, that's our society. Quite sad. Boobs sell things. But where Luvs has gone wrong - there aren't too many guys making the diaper decisions - hahaha.

I didn't see what it had to do with the product, found this comic & thought it was funny

The commercial reminded me of this

[Scout]

I thought it was funny!! I like funny commercials and this was right up my alley! These companies have to hit hard since everyone has dvrs these days! I would've never seen this on tv because of that!

I dont know what the big deal is about any of it.

Yes, boobs are for feeding babies.

Yes, feed them in public.

No, I dont need to see your saggy boobs. Cover up.

No, I dont need to see your perky, perfect boobs. Cover up.

No, we dont need to obsess about boobs.

They're just breasts.

(I meant this in general. Wasn't targeting anybody here.)

My FMIL said that with my fiance (her only child she carried to term) that she wanted to breast feed but couldn't for some reason (I forgot why) and he had really bad allegries and was allergic to every formula she tried and he wouldn't gain weight from any of them. She felt really bad because she knew breast milk was best for him but wasn't able to breastfeed him. And I guess oneday a nurse suggested goats milk because it's easier to digest and it worked.

But yeah I support breastfeeding and I plan on breastfeeding my future kids but in that commercial she did kinda come off as b!+c#y. The guy looked like he was nervious and uncomfortable because he was young (most likely single with no children). If he was staring at her breast like "Hello.... " then yea that would have been understandable for her to say that. I think they were trying to make it seem like she was more confident with her second kid like she was an "expert mom", which is also a bit of a sting to moms with only one kid too. I have heard alot lately about celeb moms that say "your not a real mom until you have two kids" (I think Jessica Alba and Elizabeth Banks were a few of them). Last time I checked you just need one kid to earn the title 'mom'.

Don't hate me! But I think 2nd+ time Moms ARE more lax, because they ARE more confident in their abilities. I bought my 1st child all name brand things, including diapers and I was young & broke. I was completely OCD about her. We all have referred to the FT Mom with a young infant on this forum. 2nd kid- Luvs & cloth. Plus, and this is coming from someone with 4 kids, you really don't know how much MORE it is until you're there. For me, it's not insulting because I was there, and I empathize and remember the 'early days' annnndddd I wish I could go back and tell myself to chill the heck out and go with the flow.

Really? Really? I am astounded that some people are offended by this commercial. The woman playing the mom was VERY covered...you see much more than that at the beach or just walking down the street now-a-days! Why do people continue to behave as though a breast is something to be ashamed of or is something they've never seen before? I am personally a very shy & modest person & would probably be more like the "before" mom but I have seen countless women nursing in public showing MUCH more than that and I don't give it a second thought. Often even if a women is taking care to be discreet she ends up showing a little more than she's like because of a squirmy baby. It is natural and normal and until everybody chills out about it people will continue to act as though it is "icky" or shameful. Oh and filming and posting it to the internet is just immature and mean.

I agree.

But, for those who think that if we breastfeed in public and aren't perfectly covered that we should launch a breastfeeding campaign by posting our photo everywhere then I will help ya out. When baby comes I'll post a giant boob with a baby attached for you. I'm an extremely modest person (no shirts that hint at cleavage, no shorts, no two piece bathing suits) due to my religion but when it comes to feeding a baby? I'll just do the best that I can.

My oldest has SPD and when he was an older baby would not nurse with a blanket over him because it bothered him greatly. I'm a modest person and it was hard for me. As a mom, his needs came before mine. I fed him in public as needed in the manner needed to meet his needs while trying to be as modest as possible for my own needs. I don't really understand the pulling-the-shirt-down method, but maybe the from-under method doesn't work for some people for reasons I don't understand. I have friends that never breastfed at all for reasons that were best for their situation. Bottom line is that most of us are just moms trying to do what is best for our kids and our families. More support and less judgement. happyface

But what do I know, I used cloth. ::

I'm not saying that moms aren't more confident with their second kids, I'm sure they are because they know they can never be fully prepared and that stuff happens. But there are celebs that are FLAT OUT saying you are not a REAL mom until your second child is born. And it seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of "you need at least 2 kids to be a good mom". I read blogs about people who say some people bug them all the time about "when are you going to have a second kid?" when they don't know if they have fertility issues or if they are just happy with 1 kid (or assume that they want to discuse what goes on in their uterus with everyone). Then you also hear about people who are implying that they aren't good parents because they only have one child:

It just seems like no matter what decision someone makes when it comes to reproducing there is always some who says "its not good enough". At this point I am almost afraid to have kids of my own.

Pish posh. Someone will always say something you are doing is not good enough in life. People love to have opinions about things that have nothing to do with them and just love to hear themselves talk! Our society is rude, outspoken, and loves to be in other people's business. Ignore it! It'll save you a whole lot of time, energy, and grief. happyface
