Anyone in favor of breastfeeding?

[Guest guest]

I breast fed my sons who are now 34, 33 and 26.  I really didn't breast feed

that long, but I think it is important, not only for the bonding, but for the

extra nutrients they receive, and this is the only way to get them.  I usually

breast fed for 6 months.  Alas, the nurses weren't that helpful clear back

then!!

I breastfed both my girls who are now 25 and 20. The oldest for 3

years and the youngest for a year when she weaned herself off. I had

always thought it was the natural way to go and is much easier...no

mixing, no heating...no bottles to get ready to take when you go

somewhere and no headache trying to find a place to heat a bottle

when the little one gets hungry. My grands were bottle fed but I

blame a lot of that on the nurses at the hospital who made my

daughter feel very insecure when she tried to nurse (I ran the nurses

out of the room when they tried to coach me the first time). Glad to

see so many FOR breastfeeding here.

It is a woman's choice. Some woman do not feel comfortable breast feeding,

others feel bonded with there baby. I am for breastfeeding it is healthy

natural mothers milk, but always eat a healthy diet. I breast fed my 2

children.

I was talking with a friend recently as I made a observation that I

previously overlooked. It appears, at least when I had my baby, a

few years ago, that hospitals worked against you breastfeeding. They

were very unprofessional with me and did terrible things with me and my

child. I was just wondering what other people's opinions were.

 

Thanks.

Hi

I have a 9.5 mos old baby; breastfed full time until 6 months and loved it. I

still breastfeed mostly mornings and before she goes to bed.

I would encourage everyone to breastfeed. It's convenient, no worries about

germs, warming up bottles in the middle of the night...

 

I live in Arizona. The BFing friendly law was passed recently. It was pushed

forward by a woman who breastfed her baby in a restaurant and was asked to

leave!!!

When my baby was born, I was strongly encouraged to breastfeed; I also attended

a BFing class at the hospital I was delivering.

BREAST IS THE BEST

I breastfed both of my children. 27 years ago, I encountered a great

deal of prejudice at the hospital and some of the nurses were outright

bullies about trying to discourage breastfeeding. My mother in law, who

was head nurse on the floor above, finally came down and intervened,

told them to back off. The pediatrician, who was also my husband's

pediatrician, tried to tell me I wouldn't be able to make enough milk

for my son because I was so tiny and he was so big (7 pounds is big?).

My daughter is now breastfeeding her second breastfed child. I went

with her to a well-check for the baby and imagine my surprise when I

learned that Colorado has now passed a law supporting breastfeeding!

The law states that any mother is allowed to breastfeed anywhere that

she is allowed to be. I was very pleased, and surprised. I remember

when my son was young and I was working at a restaurant in Colorado.

One day, a young woman at a lunch table covered herself with a blanket

and started breastfeeding at the table. The restaurant owner walked up

to her, told her in a loud voice that she was offended and asked the

woman to leave. The woman started to cry. Shameful.
