Breastfeeding

[Momof4]

Oh, I remember that too, the little smiles and happy gurgles. As I already mentioned I had to return to work when my babies were really small, but I found breastfeeding in the night was easy, grab the baby and have some bonding time while they nursed then back to sleep for both of us.

I have a client who just had a baby and told me she isn't bfing because it's just too much trouble. Huh? I really, really had to bite my tongue!

Well done. I may have drawn blood from biting my tongue that hard. I totally would have said something like, "omg really?? See, to me it's SO much easier. No bottles to make, no formula to run out of, no heating...in fact I just kept the baby right in bed with me, so I didn't even lose sleep with mine!" You never know, some things we say may appeal to those who would otherwise not know.

I would never purposely make someone feel badly for not breastfeeding because you never know a person's history, but (I know I may catch flack for saying so) when women flat out choose not to breastfeed, I DO judge. In my opinion, that's just selfish.
