literally the most ignorant grafitti on an educational WIC poster I have ever seen. why do girls that are pregnant and never even HAD THE OPPORTUNITY to breast feed want to promote booby traps like this??? low milk supply is directly correlated with formula supplementation. YES THERE ARE OTHER REASONS. But unless you are an IBCLC I feel you are doing MASSES of people a disservice by posting information pertaining to infant nutrition in a BREASTFEEDING FORUM. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A I FEED MY BABY FORUM. there you can feed the 'stop the mommy wars' trend while also giving tips on things like IDK...making a bottle of formula . that's something I don't know how to do. trying my best to be nice here. I thank god everyday I never gave into the intimating nurse that told me 'baby need to eat' every hour after my son was born, who was pushing formula because it was convenient. literally. she told me that in her Asian accent. Oh its OK you're tired you may not make milk. formula already made. HE LOST 12 OUNCES OF BODY WEIGHT. but guess what I did? he never left my chest (skin to skin). I fed every hour. I ate oatmeal like it was my job. I was also induced BTW. my body was not told to start making milk naturally. I had everything against me. He almost went into NICU. but I HELD HIM TO MY BREAST AND HE LIVED. and I still HAVE NOT GIVEN HIM A DROP OF FORMULA. so yes please can we post POSITIVE? YOUR BODY WAS MADE TO FEED THE BABY IT GREW.I BELIEVE IN YOU. <3<3<3
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
Breastfeeding.
I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?
