On baby registries.

If you are old/adult/responsible/financially secure enough to give life to a tiny human, you are old/adult/responsible/financially secure enough to purchase all of the necessary items to suction milk from yourself to support said tiny human’s existence.

In short, no, I will not buy you a breast pump, bra pads, or nipple cream for a shower gift.
