In a previous post I wrote: 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! Kathy Dettwyler thank you for appreciating my humor. Carol Brussel, I do not agonize over moms who quit. Actually, most of my moms are success stories. It just bothers me when you see that there is ample milk in both breasts and no pain, and mom has to "make up" some story to stop because, in many cases, she just doesn't want to bother! Especially when she decides to tell everyone that even DEBBIE ALBERT, LC could not help her. As you know, it is a form of negative advertizing! Debbie Albert, PhD, IBCLC
