BR (baby and boob related) - How cool is this?
I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
Re: BR (baby and boob related) - How cool is this?
Last week I was reading on the bump about vampire babies and bloody nipples. No one should feel like a failure for not handling that! Or whatever other issues come with babies. Babies be crazy.
BWHAHA! This made me LOL. I agree with you, there are just some things you shouldn't suffer through as long as you have another healthy option.
I was never able to do it for long. My well would just run dry for no apparent reason. One one of my babies, it was as early at 6 weeks. I was able to make it to 12 weeks with one of the four. No one could figure out why it happend. The story doesn't make me feel like a failure. I think everyone should do everything they can to keep it up. Some people just aren't able to.
Exactly. I honestly got pretty pissed while reading that. I quit pumping at 6 weeks. I could not take being restrained to the pump every 3-4 hours, plus taking care of DS between pumping. It is physically and mentally exhausting. And going back to work right before 8 weeks, I did not want to be dragging a pump back and forth with me and hoping that I would be able to pump and the times I needed to.
Articles like that make me want to punch people in their sanctimonious faces. It's great that mom was able to do that. It doesn't work out for everyone.
Yeah that title kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I feel like women already receive enough guilt about not bf'ing, not bf'ing long enough etc.
But it is really great that she was able to do that.
ETA: And this quote got a huge eye roll from me
" But I?m not taking any back-talk about this"
I feel mom guilt over almost all decisions that I make. That might just be a personal thing but you're always wondering if you're making the right choices.
Most moms want to BF. We know it's best for our babies. I BF for 3 months before my supply literally just disappeared. Hearing things like "If she can do it, so can you!" Adds to that guilt of no longer bf'ing for me.
But seriously, it is so amazing that she pumped and sent milk home for her baby. That was a huge commitment and a lot of work on her part and I could not respect that more.

It totally depends on the individual. Some never do, some a few weeks, months, years.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends at least 12 months.
Culture is a big part of it, but so is the availibility of nutritional food.
