Well, Michelle,
The two women with tattoos who won't breastfeed are probably just trying to
come up with any excuse NOT to Bf. This past week, one mom asked to be put
on Xanax, and of course she can't nurse (What ever happened to Zoloft or
Paxil?); another told me that her silicone implants burst three years ago,
and she is worried that it is in her milk. Honestly, I wish most women would
just say that they chose NOT to, instead of creating these grand excuses.
My favorite one is the woman who is heating up the bottle as I arrive. I
believe her entire purpose for my consult is to tell all her friends that a
Lactation Consultant couldn't even help her---Just what I need!!! These are
the women that go walking around telling everyone that they didn't have
enough milk. Good grief! Why don't they say the dog ate my breasts!
