I can't believe my family is getting all pissed and offended because I won't take their advice! They want me to feed my daughter formula three times a day! I told them no I'm breastfeeding her! If I give her formula 3 times a day then why breastfeed her? That will lower my breastmilk amount! And they're mad at me lol like who had this baby, Me or them? Jeez whiz!

my son is solely breastfed & he got nice a chubby! where he had the sweat in his rolls lol after a while he thinned out. my son his small in the 19% for weight & 20% for height but he is growing & is extremely healthy because I bf him. it's the best i could give him so why wouldn't i. I'm proud you stood up for not just you but your baby. you are an amazing mama! good luck. sorry a little emotional today lol
People just like to put their input in because they can. 🙄 I wouldn't trust them alone with baby, I've heard of people sneaking baby's formula/bottles behind moms back. 😤
She'll get chubby in due time so their argument is invalid lol. Some of these stories ppl say about their family and breastfeeding are mind boggling.
Well as long as she is eating perfectly fine and doctor said she's good and healthy that's all that matters. I know its hard to stay calm with family, its that comfort. But stick to your way.
@tatted_mommy, they want me to bottle feed because they want to see her chubby and fat. She was born prematurely and with low blood cells. I want her healthy not fat. It's hard to stay calm when they constantly saying things and giving me funny looks like I'm crazy and mental. I want my baby to grow at her speed not others. And the doctor said she's perfectly healthy and growing at a very good pace. That's all I care about and she does drink more than enough breastmilk. 1 month old and she's drinking 4-5oz of milk. I always tell them she's perfectly fine!
By any chance are they not comfortable with breastfeeding? That could be the reason. Or do they give you a reason why they want you to bottle feed? But, anyways, you do what you gotta do momma bear. But try and not let them get to you, try and stay calm and just thank them for their advice but you are doing fine breastfeeding. At the end of the day, they can't force you to bottle feed. I know its tough to stay calm with family, but think of it this way, you deserve some peace, you're already dealing with being depressed.
@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, thank you! She prefers the breastmilk anyways and she was born with low white blood cells and me breastfeeding her is help the cells go up! And they know this so why cause an argument with me and also knowing I'm depressed?!? This is why I want everyone to just stay away from me and my kids and I been ignoring people's phone calls
You do what YOU think is best! (And I am 10000% behind your decision to breastfeed)
@verobaby, @tatted_mommy @aightgoddess @yungbae thanks you girls!!!!! I really appreciate the support! We know what's right for our babies! We have a strong connection to them that no one will ever understand or feel and we are blessed to have that bond with our little ones. I refuse to let anyone tell me how to raise my kids and follow their advice or opinions. No matter how mad they get.
