This is not directed directly to anyone on here or any comments, it's just something I have been thinking about lately....breastfeeding is a great thing but if you see a mom out in public bottle feeding please do not judge her. Non all moms are able to breastfeed and some of us have a hard time dealing with not being able to breastfeed. I will not be able to breastfeed due to an immune disorder and I wish it was an option for me. I am worried about the dirty looks I will get in public when I get out my daughters bottle. I am worried about the nurses at the hospital tomorrow not knowing my situation and trying to pressure me to breastfeed. I am worried that I'm not giving my child every advantage but I have no choice. My milk could harm my baby. I am just thankful that the option of formula is there.
@junesmommy15, it will hopefully get better but it will be something I will have to deal with rest of my life
Yeah I know that's hard for you. Will the disorder get better after having baby or no?
lichen sclerosus which is the same reason I need to have a c section. It has been terrible during pregnancy, a very severe case. The medications for it can absolutely not be combined with breastfeeding.
Dang I never heard of people judging a mom for pulling out a bottle in public. I thought it was always pulling a boob out. I guess people aren't satisfied with anything. Do what you do momma. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of immune problem do you have?
My hubby has to remove her hand and say she will need formula ok.
Do what you think is right , I tried breast feeding it didn't work . So yes I bottle fed and I didn't even think twice , baby's gatta eat right ? If it doesn't work out for you / do you and F everyone else .
@ladimogul, that's one of the things I'm worried about, especially since my milk could harm my child and I'm having a c section so I will be so drugged up that I may not be able to explain to every nurse so I told my husband it is one of his jobs
Thank you for your post, nurses have handled me forcibly attempting to get me to breast feed.
My husband takes his cousin girlfriend to work. Should I be worried about the FEMALE coming on to my husband?

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
I swear y’all kill me when people ask questions about THEIR child. If my child is 4m or 5m & I put a little cereal in the bottle it’s nothing wrong with it at all. NOTHING , especially if his doctor already gave me the go ahead. My god, each one teach their own though.
it’s 10 am where I am rn , do not come on my post with , articles about whatever. I’ll tell you kiss my ass today.
I also recently found out that I can't take maternity leave only having been at my job since March... I must put in my two weeks when I am ready, and be completely rehired back after baby and recovery from second c section 😰😰😰😰 I'm so worried. What if they don't hire me back, and I have a two year old and an infant and no job. I am terrified about this
@junesmommy15, thank you
