Breast Is Best?
This Bad Mom Trusts the Bottle
By Tish Durkin"
~~~
Well actually it might help my son, who is preparing to give a talk on
breastfeeding to his college class in Effective Speaking. I think this will help
him understand the mindset he might experience when he shares all his facts and
his clear conviction that everyone, everyone should breastfeed or support
breastfeeding. ( BTW, I may have to set him up with the relative of a LLLL or
LC, someone who can deal with him if they have children ...:) Smirking
slightly, but I was tempted to write this woman and say that I could all but
guarantee the gentlest lactational experience with a LLLL, but for now I remain
silent. She will not be moved. The really sad part is the blackNwhite of it all,
either I breastfeed always and forever and have no life, or I formula feed
and get back to what I want as soon as possible. I know plenty of "self_"
focused moms who breastfeed when they want, and hire a nanny for other hours of
the day and night , or leave every evening and let dad do bottlefeeds, and
sometimes it's even her milk in the bottle, and I have to believe those babies
are at least better off with that level of breastfeeding and nurturing than
none at all.
Anyway, thanks for sending.
