I know two young ladies who are using formula. They told me it's because their babies are "allergic" to dairy products and such. Instead of working it out, mom not eating certain things, etc, they choose to go with the formula. Lactation consultants, nurses, drs all hold responsibility for this formula dependency. If I was those girl's moms, life would've been different. Oh! Also, some of these babies who have trouble latching on may have a slight tongue tie. It doesn't seem like this is looked for now a days. Nursing is Work! It hurts in the beginning for sure. I think these women are not properly informed or helped.
It's frustrating to watch all the actual misinformation about breastfeeding being spread by lactation consultants, nurses, and the general public who simply just don't know shit about breastfeeding in this country. 90% of women who think they can't breastfeed actually can, they are just being told the wrong information, and don't get proper support or education. Society wants women to formula feed.
If I were legit unable to breastfeed my baby in these times, I'd be all over the breastfeeding boards looking for an organic breastfeeding mom near me to sell me some breastmilk. And if I was still breastfeeding during these times, I'd be donating breastmilk like crazy.
And, each nurse pushes a difference strategy. Had all three of my kids in same small hospital. Different nurse each time pushed completely different ideals for nursing.
Goats milk is an awesome supplement and when I had dairy allergies as a kid I would drink our goats’ milk. It made a world of difference.
