Of course we had latch issues and my supply didn't come in fully for a week. So we pumped and supplemented when needed. When I tried seeing a lactation consultant in person I was told it would be 55 dollars for the consultation plus 50 dollars an hour on top of that. I was looking at 105 dollars just to be seen! Then the other consultants were over the phone only...worthless.<br /><br />They put forth this culture of being for the womanly art of breastfeeding, but when it comes down to it, no one is there to support or help. Trust me, I called every single support group in my city and either didn't get a return call or I was told the same rote information that was not helping, or that support group had been shut down.<br /><br />So, yes, I pump and occasionally feed formula. I am a bad mom because the baby will not have a formed jaw from the bottles, and I've destroyed the ph level of her intestines from the formula...blah blah blah. Dammit, I have a healthy 2 week old little girl and they all can go to hell. Pumping is breastfeeding, you pompous boob pushers!<br /><br />Thanks for the great blog and keep up being the incredible Mama that you are!Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-49271462701098678622010-02-05T22:39:05.271-05:002010-02-05T22:39:05.271-05:00Anon,

I chose to write about it. I'm very happy for you that you can let everything slide off your back, but fucking idiots like me can't. Additionally, I am well aware that Nazis killed millions of Jews. I chose "breastfeeding" Nazi because these people that were shoving breastfeeding down my throat were so maniacally fervent and negative in their approach, that it felt extremely cultish and smacked of misdirected passion. It's sarcasm on my part. A writer uses various types of literary vehicles to get his or her point across.

Thank you for reading the blog and providing your insights. You sound like a very supportive husband and father, which is wonderful. Believe it or not, a lot of men are very old fashioned when it comes to breastfeeding. I hope that what I wrote helped you and your wife feel better. Please know that you have my full support. Us sane parents gotta stick together! :)The Hatewatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433725649746878181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-16364007051970863332010-01-16T02:28:37.958-05:002010-01-16T02:28:37.958-05:00Great post, my wife and I are going thru this righ...Great post, my wife and I are going thru this right now. Her milk isn't really coming in and the baby is screaming all the time, making us both miserable.. <br /><br />We visited the lactation nurse today and it really only made things worse. I really don't see a problem with supplimenting breast milk with additional formula. Eventually mom will come into her own and make a good supply of milk, but you can't ALWAYS count on it being there. But the nurse will try to make you feel like a failure if you don't breastfeed, and lay on the guilt trip.<br /><br />Thanks for telling it like it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-40660868630243006352009-06-19T09:15:19.742-04:002009-06-19T09:15:19.742-04:00Phoebe,

First of all, you are a great mom and don't let anyone tell you otherwise or bring you down. There will be people who will never be happy for you and it took me some time to learn to ignore those people. I know it makes you angry, as I think we have that in common, but you must ignore them and enjoy your beautiful baby boy!<br /><br />As you already know, I had a similar BFing experience as you and spent many of my first weeks as a mom depressed because BFing wasn't working for my baby and me. I would end up in tears and frustrate my baby. After trying for a while and pumping, I decided I needed to do what's best for both myself and my baby and gave her formula. I was a formula-fed baby myself, and I turned out just fine. Now, while I was pregnant, I had always planned on BFing (we spoke about this too) and bought all the things I needed (BFing bras, tanks, pads, etc). And everyone will tell you that you MUST BF and there's no other way. Well, only one friend of mine told me the truth - she said if it works out and I CAN BF, then great but it's OK if it doesn't work and not to beat myself up about it. My mom and sister also said this to me after I kept trying and it wasn't working. But there are those people who just want you to feel horrible and will continue to bring it up EVERY time they see you just because they know that you are not BFing. In the beginning, I really stressed myself out when this happened but I learned to ignore these type of comments.<br /><br />To end my rant on this hot topic, I want to say that I started to feel better about my formula-feeding after finding out that many of the moms I knew didn't BF! It was such a relief to me and didn't make me feel as though I was a horrible mom (as those BFing nazis want you to feel). I know that I'm a great mom and will always try to be a better mom. My baby girl is happy and healthy and that's all I could ask for. For those people who cannot be happy for me then they should keep their mouths shut. I'm now enjoying my baby and my family and couldn't be happier! So I hope you do the same! ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150585174532339659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-66654670901844487312009-06-11T14:24:37.706-04:002009-06-11T14:24:37.706-04:00Phoebe,

You are a witty, funny writer and I am looking forward to more blog entries of the "Horrible Mother Who Formula Feeds Her Baby" :P<br /><br />Don't let anyone else ruin your mood, gurrrl. There is no rulebook set in stone for all mothers to follow. You are only accountable to God and your baby. As long as Shai is growing up healthy, happy and strong that's all that matters.<br /><br />My mother raised all of us on formula and we are all perfectly fine, SO THERE!! :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />ChristineChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639173912505252744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-48419500453806270262009-06-08T18:18:48.939-04:002009-06-08T18:18:48.939-04:00Such a well written, heated blog entry!

The sad part was I wasn't trying to be vengeful or judgemental, because I actually went through a similar situation of unplanned c-section and painful recovery and a baby that wouldn't latch on for a month so I know exactly how hard it is to breastfeed and pump. So once again sorry for ruining your event and being insensitive and God knows my heart when I tell you I wasn't trying to take away from your experience of enjoying your child and doing whatever worked for you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642000348682657202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-85660800787957547372009-06-07T23:14:48.757-04:002009-06-07T23:14:48.757-04:00I also wanna attend "How to be a Horrible Mot...<i>I also wanna attend "How to be a Horrible Mother by Formula Feeding Your Baby" classes in my spare time instead of pumping....</i> that is f%^&ing awesome.

I have to do it every nite so that I can mix it with Belle's solids now...I envy everyone that can just go right up to bed and go to sleep!!! Now...I don't want to rush Belle along AT ALL as I am trying to enjoy every moment with her at this age because I know it goes way too quickly and she will be talking back to me in no time, BUT I cannot wait for the year mark in the way that she can have cows milk in her cereals and I won't have to pump for it anymore!! <br /><br />Oh wait!! And did I mention that Belle is a biter? Yeah...that's not fun...at least once during EVERY breastfeeding session...Nicolas did it maybe only twice the whole time I breast fed him. UGGGhhhhh!!!<br /><br />You know that I support you in everything you do and Shai is so lucky to have you and Shawn as parents!!!<br /><br />All my love,<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533938001847780913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823745196864564189.post-23386695224996027022009-06-07T09:11:01.859-04:002009-06-07T09:11:01.859-04:00Rock on wit ya bad self Phoebe!

Anyone who thinks breastfeeding (even if you don't pump) is easy, has no idea what they are talking about. Now I'm doing about half formula, 1/4 breastfeeding, 1/4 pumping and am about to give up the pumping because it SUCKS. You are a fab mom and don't let anyone ever rain on your parade.<br /><br />Love, your newish sister, ShobhaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093030968879538062noreply@blogger.com
