BREASTFEEDING EXPERTS
So this week I had a little experience that concerned me! My baby is 6 weeks old and we found out the baby is allergic to cows milk so I am staying away from dairy! But the doctor told me I am not producing enough milk I get 2.5oz or 3 oz between both breast when I pump but here is the thing... The baby is always content... Gaining weight, always wet and plenty of bowel movements... So she told me to *supplement* w formula... According to the doctor babies her age should be getting 4 oz by now... My thing is... Sometimes I feel like breastfeeding its more emotional support then anything else! I have lost count of how many people discourage me from doing it! How is her doctor really sure she is not getting enough?? If she is meeting all her needs???? It blows my mind... Are we really living in sad times? Where breastfeeding has become shameful and doubtful? Sometimes I wish I was where poverty its so high where breast is NEEDED... not optional... To tell myself again and again I am doing the right thing and I am being a good mom... 😓😫😰😞
