do some women make excuses to get out of breastfeeding?  |
| |
|  Like saying their "milk never really came in" etc, after only trying for a few days? I think so.

| |  I did not bother making excuses. It was simply something that did not fit into my lifestyle and I did not feel comfortable doing it, so I chose not to. What upset me was the doctor (male) who decided I needed to breastfeed anyway and refused to give me any medication to help dry up the milk. As a result I spent 3 extremely painful weeks dealing with engorgement and fever. That only happened with my first child, with my other 2 I made sure that the doctors knew who was the patient and that it was MY CHOICE, not thiers, to make.

| | You are exactly right, it is your choice, and I commend you for being able to stand up and admit that it wasn't for you, instead of making excuses to "cop out". What a crazy doctor! I would have been mad!Thanks for responding! | | | |

| |  Sometimes I get really irritated by the things people come up with. I nursed my daughter until she was 9 months, at which point I discovered I was pregnant with my son. I think my milk started changing or something, and I noticed I wasn't producing as much.. so she started to wean. When my son was born, he latched on right away (just like his big Sis had), and he kept going until he was 17 months. The only thing is he had really bad colic, and cried all the time, and my in-laws kept saying maybe my milk was bad. I'd leave him with them and they wouldn't want to feed him my milk because they thought something was wrong with it. UGH. Soon after this one time where this happened, one of my husband's aunts told me that her daugher's son also had colic. And that the pediatrician told her that her milk was bad and that she needed to switch to formula. Ok, wha?! "milk is bad"??? The fact that a doctor is telling women their milk is bad is beyond belief. It's disgusting, really. So this lady stopped nursing immediately and started her kid on formula. Maybe all she needed to do was alter her diet? Or something to that effect? Just rediculous.

| |  I think a lot of women make up excuses because they don't want to look bad.
I do believe it's a womans choice on how to feed their kids.
Theres some women who are very militant about it, and very pissy if they see a formula fed baby.
My view on it is at least the baby is being fed.

| | I think women like that have issues. I mean, if somebody wants to nurse their kids, GREAT!!! I'm all for it, myself. But it's their CHOICE. It's not everybody's choice to do it, and it's certainly not for one mother to cram their beliefs down another mother's throat, and to make them feel like crap because they're feeding their baby formula. | | | |
