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... 😓😫😰😞

dumb doctor.. how horrible of them to pressure you when baby is doing great. if I were you I would find a more bf friendly pediatrician. my 4 month old drinks 2-4 oz at a time.
That's a good amount. A lot of doctors aren't breastfeeding knowledgeable or friendly. Find one that is or just talk to a lactation consultant if you need reassurance.
My baby is 3 months and can't take more than 2 oz of either boob milk or formula if your baby is meeting everything and gaining weight then your baby's good I'd find a new Dr the Dr is most likely trying to breast feed shame you
My son didn't drink 4oz until he was about 3 months. He's always been ahead with weight too. He's tripled his birth weight and he just turned 5 months. Go with your instincts.
@bugmama, as sad as it sounds... They exist!! In the hospital they did that to me too... And now her doctor...
I don't know of any Doctors who recommend you fomula feed especially when babies are meeting all goals and needs. I would ask for a second opinion or find a new pediatrician.
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

@cfernandar24, I am so thankful to have awesome medical staff. I had the best help with latching and everything even though it was not necessary and am delivering at the same hospital for this one. Our hospital encourages it from the getco.
