10/07 The Latest Debates
Quote From: isis59I'm very insulted that you would make comments like this. I still breastfeed my 17 month old son. It's the healthiest, most natural thing to do. Eventhough my son didn't get TEETH until he was 10 months, some get them very early... why on earth should a mother STOP breastfeeding her child because of teeth? You said you breastfed only one of your children for 12 months... did they not have teeth yet?!?! Why would you take away the HEALTHIEST, MOST LOVING, PERFECT nourishment your child could have?! That just seems ignorant to me. Please do more research before making prejudicial comments like that in the future. LaLecheLeague helps TONS of new moms in the quest for breastfeeding, no matter how long they intend to do so. They're an amazing group of women.
Oh and in honor of the intended questions... YES! I would breastfeed my baby anywhere, anytime. People don't have to look. I don't look at things I don't like. Babies should be respected before others, it's just my opinion. When they CAN understand to hold on and wait, great... but in the meantime- keep giving those babies the greatest food on earth. Your Question: "Why would you take away the HEALTHIEST, MOST LOVING, PERFECT nourishment your child could have?!" Well, 2 of my kids had milk allergies so that put them both on special formulas. Honestly..... if I had another kid..... I don't think I would breastfeed for alot of reasons. Like I said if another mom wants to do it that is fine with me. To me it just doesn't fit into today's lifestyle. You can spend quality time with your baby and so can others without having to breastfeed. It is one of those personal decisions that perhaps bring benefits, but so do a whole lot of other choices.
