Dear Mammary Militia: Thanks for the personal interest in informing all of us about the benefits of breastfeeding like we haven’t been made aware in our prenatal visits, books and articles, or in conversations with people who actually know us, like family and friends. Now mind your own business.Posted 21 weeks 1 day ago by Corina Fiore
Sometimes, as parents, we feel strange asking too many questions of a doctor. We then defer to a doctor’s judgment, without trusting our own instincts or getting our concerns addressed. By asking these questions of a potential doctor prior to or during the first visit, you will be able to determine quite quickly how comfortable you will feel with the doctor and whether or not this doctor is the right one for you.Posted 25 weeks 1 day ago by Linsey Knerl
I dreaded my baby’s last doctor appointment. As I had always done before, I crammed extra breakfast into my little guy, and coaxed him into chugging an 8 oz bottle prior to the appointment. This was not going to be another attack on my motherhood.Posted 27 weeks 4 days ago by Sandra Hanks Benoiton
Why is it that jugs flowing with the milk of human kindness, or just plain milk in this case, create such a stir? There is nothing more natural than breast-feeding, and a woman should no more have to hide away to nurse than she would to hand a teenager a sandwich.Posted 34 weeks 1 day ago by Catherine Shaffer
To me, four years old meant independence, going potty on your own, going to school, learning to read--not nursing at mother's breast. It took really listening to my son's need, not society's expectations, to realize that these things were not mutually exclusive.Posted 2 years 2 weeks ago by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
Let me just say up front that I'm not against all formula feeding. Formula feeding is okay in the case of adoption, failure to thrive, a drug addicted mother or a mother's medical condition that somehow prohibits a mother to breastfeed properly. I realize this makes me sound like the Republican who concedes that abortion might be okay in the case of incest or rape. I'm a breast- feeding fascist. There are worse things to be.It takes a squad.
