Plus, there’s a cultural paranoia that their baby is ‘not getting enough’ followed by constant weigh in at drs office. How a baby gets more milk is by nursing extra (all day it seems) for a day or two and then the breasts are signaled to make more milk. It is quite a sophisticated system. It is during this time that doubt and faulty support win to switch to formula and the claims of insufficient milk production begin. The mother is now the victim of treacherous boobies…..
Very true. Mothers think their babies should eat 3 times per day like many adults were taught (“Most important meal is breakfast”, food pyramid with excess starches and grains which can be attributed to leaky gut syndrome, corn syrup in many products,God only knows what is in fast foods)-slight exaggeration. Pediatricians tell mothers to breast feed 10 minutes over breast, not taking into account infant feeding patterns, cluster feeding, stomach size. Pediatricians find it easier to answer formula feeding questions because they are more concrete and less time consuming. Just like doctors are taught pharmaceuticals are good, so has Big Pharma (Merck, Ross Labs, etc.) taught doctors formula is good, advanced, just like mother’s milk.
