I know in the "old days" you had lactating family members or wet nurses to help, and there was no formula. Nowadays, people think you're insane/obscene to even suggest it. But if it could have kept my son off of formula, I would have gone for it.emjaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702493830415324423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669032.post-47844079411516511162007-04-28T07:58:00.000-07:002007-04-28T07:58:00.000-07:00Oh, I totally agree about that Aimee.

I have a problem with making formula the "standard," but not at all with the fact that it exists and is a blessing for some women.<BR/><BR/>Off to read what you've posted :)Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754703726584658268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669032.post-88995942516454906882007-04-27T22:14:00.000-07:002007-04-27T22:14:00.000-07:00I hope that comment wasn't too bold.

I have strong feelings about listening to women who say their milk is not coming in, that they are worried about their babies...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I would love you to read the breastfeeding story I've posted.<BR/><BR/>I love it.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707737527101259629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669032.post-14862875064881854512007-04-27T21:49:00.000-07:002007-04-27T21:49:00.000-07:00I just have to add my .02...In my case, formula sa...I just have to add my .02...<BR/><BR/>In my case, formula saved my children's lives because I was not able to breastfeed and didn't have anyone available to breastfeed them through the night. Although I would have preferred to breastfeed, and I agree that it is the natural thing for our babies' bodies, my body simply did not produce milk...at all, so all three of my children were formula fed. And none of them are obese because we've been diligent about teaching them healthy food choices, and we keep them active instead of placing them in front of the TV or video games.<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you, however, that breastfeeding is the best, healthiest thing that you can do for your child. I still struggle with the fact that my body didn't nourish my babies, but I don't beat myself up about it anymore.<BR/><BR/>Breast is best, but when a woman absolutely can't do it, formula is blessing.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707737527101259629noreply@blogger.com
