TheGoldenEel 05/24/22 1:57:37 PM #4:	TheGoldenEel posted... A)many mothers simply cant breastfeed, and its not for lack of trying. Maybe mom doesnt make enough milk (esp common when there are twins). Maybe baby doesnt latch good enough to stimulate milk production. Either way, its common B)breastfeeding is a 24/7 job. In shitty ass america, this means that when mom is required to go back to work (unless thwy are affluent enough to be able to to not), they will still have to be pumping every four hours at work, find a place to safely store that milk and bring it home. It also means that even when baby can sleep longer, mom has to wake up in the middle of the night C)babies can have sensitivities and allergies to the foods mom eats. This ones personal for me because my 6 month old son has some sort of food allergy which causes irritability, rashes, and poor sleep. The way to pinpoint this is to eliminate an allergen from moms diet, and wait up to two weeks to see if theres an improvement. If not, eliminate another, repeat. Meanwhile baby is miserable and mom is stressed. In an ideal world where we knew we could reliably get a hypoallergenic formula we would have switched, but as it is my wife is doing her damnedest to stay nourished while maintaining this elimination diet that might not even be the right thing D)once you have stopped breastfeeding for any of the reasons above, the milk dries up and you can not just restart breastfeeding on a whim --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ <cite>TheGoldenEel posted [p:965269842] in Do babies ...

_BlueMonk 05/24/22 2:08:46 PM #15:	my wife couldn't breastfeed. her supply dipped early on and my son went through a growth spurt where he wanted to feed every hour. she couldn't produce enough milk in between feedings, so he wasn't getting enough food. hed latch on, become frustrated and just cry cry cry. so my wife would use the breastpump to force her body to make more while he wasn't feeding. it worked for a while, but if he wasn't feeding, she had to pump. no time to eat, take care of herself, sleep. etc. she was trapped in a cycle of feeding him, pumping, feeding him, pumping, feeding him, pumping. it was a nightmare. she couldn't do it anymore so i said fuck it, let's just switch to formula. it was difficult for her because she felt like she failed, but she hadn't. it just wasn't working out and we needed to feed our son and also take care of ourselves. the campaign for breastmilk over formula is mostly because of the probiotics and antibodies and the bonding but at the end of the day, the boy needs to eat and formula is just as good. so he's been on formula since and he's perfectly fine. --- JISOO JISOO <cite>_BlueMonk posted [p:965270081] in Do babies ...

Cuticrusader09 05/24/22 2:14:46 PM #16:	Part of me thinks the industry wants women to think that its ok to use formula. Its kind of a vicious cycle, you use formula, your baby doesnt need as much from you and you produce less. What you pump may not equal what your baby can get if they feed from your breast in some instances. I had a bit of trouble with my first and the doctors tried to convince me its ok to use formula. I powered through and went breast milk only. And am glad because my daughters poop stank so much worse when we supplemented with formula. --- AC - Violet on Penny.
