But husband is similar, he grabs onto an idea ( granted a really good idea) and he gets a really strong opinion on it. And while I agree with all his opinions, I try not to judge people who do differently simply because I realize that different things work for different people. And if there's a clearly "better way" of doing something, some people don't do it, because they simply cannot, not because they don't want to or are bad parents!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995751630559190219.post-27741439838427302842011-09-22T12:49:22.081-04:002011-09-22T12:49:22.081-04:00some mother's physically cannot breastfeed, an...some mother's physically cannot breastfeed, and some kids cannot latch on. I know the point of your post wasn't to belittle, but as a formula feeding mom, who tried to breastfeed, I think sometimes it's Boob-Nazi's (I use the term lightheartedly ) that need to be educated. <br /><br />We tried desperately to breast feed, but despite our best efforts, I was only producing 1oz a day. And my son had a short tongue, which meant he COULDN'T latch on. Was physically unable to. So formula it was. And it was the best thing for us. <br /><br />My son was 10lbs at birth, and within a month was in the 25th percentile for his weight. He has never been considered "Fat" ( I don't think babies can be fat ).<br /><br />All that being said, I applaud any woman who can breastfeed, but I also applaud any mother who makes the difficult decision to feed their child formula, despite the ridicule they may face for being a lesser mother. <br /><br />Oh and Atticus is adorable by the way! :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997569000226990746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995751630559190219.post-4507808739817627412011-09-22T11:55:38.068-04:002011-09-22T11:55:38.068-04:00With all due respect, i agree with you that all sh...With all due respect, i agree with you that all should strive to be less judgemental and belittleing. Coming from a mom who has tried her hardest to breastfeed her child with multiple bouts of Mastitis, as well as thrush....some are just not cut out for it. After multiple doctors and lactation specialist, we concluded that my body was just not made for it. I fought with the feeling of defeat and that i wasnt good enough as a mother, when actually i was helping my child more by being a happy healthy mother, even if that meant feeding him formula.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
