i LOVE your response. Thank you for being ...Sarah! <br />i LOVE your response. Thank you for being open and honest about your opinion and doing so without attacking other poeple. So refreshing to be able to communicate with another mom and gain insight into all views of something very important, without having to bash each other for different points of view.<br /><br />My Daughter Baby DIVA gave up the bottle a 6 months. She would "Ask" for her sippy of formula so I know what you mean by saying kids ask for food. I dont thin kits wrong at all. Boob feeding is a very personal choice for each mom and child. I say do what works for you and your kid and as long as everyone is healthy then we rock as moms.<br /><br />I am very excited to have a go with boob feeding in just a few short months. I know it will be hard but I have already been in contact with a great support system via friends, family, my birthing hospital and my local le leche league. I should be able to hang! :)Pink Haired Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351316968047246222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246662780121676632.post-89736846809961330342011-02-22T12:46:09.209-06:002011-02-22T12:46:09.209-06:00"I don't agree with boob feeding children..."I don't agree with boob feeding children old enough to ask for a drink. I think its gross and there are no benefits at that point."<br /><br />I'm sorry, but I am going to have to politely disagree with you on this one. My daughter nursed for 2 1/2 years and my son is still nursing at almost 11 months. My daughter was asking to nurse well before we reached the AAP recommendation of nursing for atleast 12 months. Should I have cut her off then? And when your child is old enough to ask for a bottle of formula will you cut her off? Just because they can communicate the need for food doesn't mean we should quit giving it to them. Our bodies were meant to grow and feed our babies. It is a very personnal choice, like you said, but I want to make sure that you and your followers know that your body doesn't give out at the 12 month mark. Your breast milk will still be as nutricious as it was in the beginning. Also, the longer you nurse, the more your chances of breast cancer go down. Not to mention all the immunities you give your baby. My kids have been sick only a few times with nothing more then a cold.<br /><br />I believe that a huge problem right now is that people are uneducated, or mis-educated, when it comes to breast feeding. You're almost set up to fail from the beginning with everyone in the world telling you that you need to supplement or rewarding your efforts with a diaper bag full of formula. I'm glad that you're doing your research now, that's the best way to start! If you really want to do it, stick with it and make sure you surround yourself with supporting people. I wish you nothing but luck! And, no, I don't think that it's a bad thing when people formula feed. I'm not anti-formula, I'm just pro-breastfeeding. But at the end of the day, once you're armed with all kinds of knowledge, it's your decision and nobody should ever make you feel guilty about it.Sarah Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549712967189497601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246662780121676632.post-86525859779631443962011-01-19T21:42:01.867-06:002011-01-19T21:42:01.867-06:00I think that woman has issues.

It really is a wonderful thing. Hope all is going well.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379590107965422649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246662780121676632.post-78063888444698490222011-01-15T13:34:06.561-06:002011-01-15T13:34:06.561-06:00Beth.

Like you said as long as babe is being fed we are on the right path.<br /><br />I bet momma dog does a brillant job feeding that pup. I bet they are cute that little! The link is gross.

Adeline was formula+breast, Lucy is 100% breast. It's just what works for us. The only way you could be a bad mom would be not to feed her period, then you get minus points. <br /><br />I'm not even clicking on that link. There's currently a puppy in this house that is only 2 weeks old, and I don't want to have nightmares about her sneaking into my bed or something in the night looking for food. Incidentally, said puppy's mother (who is a dog!) is 100% responsible for that feeding, I'm not getting involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246662780121676632.post-63249027397042509882011-01-15T13:07:50.169-06:002011-01-15T13:07:50.169-06:00Thanks kara!

I think that is what is so sad. Sometimes a mom just cant, and they shouldnt feel bad. We can still provide the best for our kids via formula.Pink Haired Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351316968047246222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246662780121676632.post-37903209606551165662011-01-15T13:03:05.845-06:002011-01-15T13:03:05.845-06:00That lady who feeds her dog??

It was a very rewarding experience, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. But it's work. And a lot of it. And it's not easy. And it's not natural. At first, that is. But, if you want to bad enough, and have the patience to get through the first weeks, you'll be a pro in no time. And those first weeks don't matter anyways...you're practically sleep walking, and it all becomes a blur, right? lol<br /><br />Good luck with it all!Kara @ His, Hers and Ourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378571537285249718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246662780121676632.post-45561174140062716082011-01-15T13:01:09.607-06:002011-01-15T13:01:09.607-06:00Ccndry its crazy huh?

I nursed 3 out of five of my kids for a short while. then switched to formula, its all a mothers decision to decide whats best for her baby.<br /><br />And that chic needs some therapy or something cause thats just sick.ccndrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445992702786998817noreply@blogger.com
