When I was feeling so frustrated because...hahahaha!<BR/> When I was feeling so frustrated because I wasnt able to breastefeed, I came up with all sort of excuses as to why breastfeeding was totally overrated and the bottle was so much better... such as... hey! if he drinks a bottle, Dad can also wake up at night, not just me! Yeah right... Dad has a switch and the moment he goes to bed he is off and hears nothing, no matter how loud.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Anyway, in The Netherlands, there are campaings to make women understand why breastfeeding is so important. I was surprised when the OB actually asked me if I had made up my mind as to which feeding method I was going to use. To me it was so obvious that breastfeeding is all you do! what other choice! <BR/>I couldnt cos I never got enough milk (lost lots of blood during delivery so I was a bit "dry"... out of liquid! my body decided to save me instead of making milk), but never understood other women I know who didnt even try, they just bought formula. "What a drag! what do you do if the kid gets hungry and you are at a restaurant??" those were the type of excuses. And I just kept thinking...what's more important, what other people think, or the health of your kid?? is there even a question about it?Marianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070699825896478765noreply@blogger.com
