I nursed a total of 7 years with my 3 girls. It was horrifying in the beginning and I wasn’t prepared psychologically to know how painful it is for 98% of mother’s. It was beyond exhausting at times. My kid’s are off the charts intelligent and none of them had a cold/flu, ear infection or any illness for the for 5 years of their lives. We have a profound bond and I would absolutely do it all over again.
I guess this is a sensitive subject seeing so few viewers. This could be cause and effect for many things being experienced in society?
Thank you for this information
I wish people would clarify that getting one bottle in a 24-hour period is unlikely to have a negative impact on breastfeeding. When you tell new mothers 4 to 5 weeks you're basically signing them up for a month of sleep deprivation. This is known to contribute to postpartum depression and/or anxiety.
My 5 days old baby is gets hungry after on hour of being fed. I am feeding him 2 ounces of pumped breast milk. Is that ok? Thank your in advance.
Pumping is actually the best way to feed your children.
I know it's been months since this comment, but I just wanted to let you know that is totally normal their tummies are very small during this time and can only hold a very little amount of breast milk or formula which they digest very rapidly due to growing at a rapid rate. - Savannah Nutritionist counselor for WIC
You say wait until breastfeeding is going well before you introduce a bottle, that also doesn't make sense for the woman who is struggling with breastfeeding and needs to introduce a bottle. All of these militant rules are what end up causing harm to women who struggle with breastfeeding challenges. I urge you to think about your messaging, your language, and your assertion that breastfed babies are always healthier.
It's bad, cuz it gets them used to it
I'm not an expert, but if you don't realize just how essential passing on your antibodies as well as essential nutrients to your baby through breastfeeding, I suggest you find good science, rather than paid science
Also go touch some grass
@@zyf365 Well, I AM an expert and I know for a fact that introducing a bottle correctly does not compromise breastfeeding. As to antibodies and immunities, plenty of formula fed babies get by without that and are exceptionally healthy. You cannot attribute all good health to breast milk.
@@TrueCrimeDoula yikes, if you're a so called "expert" Im scared for this world 😬
@@TrueCrimeDoulawhat makes you an expert?
@@melissabrock4114 Certified breastfeeding counselor, doula, childbirth educator, over 800 clients - all the breastfeeding ones introduced a bottle earlier than recommended and none of them had issues with so-called "nipple confusion." I have a different TH-cam account called Mamarama - from which I should have commented.
Surely you know that formula fed babies can be just as healthy or healthier than breastfed babies. How are you gauging that anyway? Long-term health, resistance to illness in daycare? That's an irresponsible thing to say in my opinion.
Very very untrue
Probably because anecdotes aren't science. Statistics are a more reliable source of information than your experience
@@melissabrock4114 So go look at the studies. They reliably show that breastfed babies have slightly less diarrhea and ear infections - but only slightly.
@@TrueCrimeDoula you're a doula? I hope not. There's so much more to the benefits, and you're making yourself sound ignorant.
It’s far more serious than that. For infants, not being breastfed is associated with an increased incidence of infectious morbidity, as well as elevated risks of childhood obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, leukemia, and sudden infant death syndrome. For mothers, failure to breastfeed is associated with an increased incidence of premenopausal breast cancer, ovarian cancer, retained gestational weight gain, type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction, and the metabolic syndrome. Children and women are sicker than ever today and our foundations are key to health and success.
