Feeling cranking in chicago today.....I am seeing way too many women who
want to "do both" and start giving bottles at birth. Usually it is the
Hispanic ladies who do this, because they think they have no milk in the
beginning. But I would like to know WHY people want to do this and what
they see as the benefit. When I worked at a "yuppie" hospital, no one
did this. It's really hard to be accepting and explain in a rational
way; yesterday I just wanted to say, "so, you only want to give your
baby PART of the benefit of being breastfed?" Can others share with me,
whether or not this is happening in other areas? How you deal with it?
When the moms have problems, then they expect me to fix it! Maybe this
would be a good article for Consultant's Corner in JHL?
