Breastfeeding Support - 6 months and beyond!

[Eve]

I seriously raise my glass of pop to you DF. You are doing so awesome with your kids! and yeah, I was reading that thread, and went to have dinner came back and it was locked. I don't understand it... these past few months have been like fight club in babyclub. CIO on a newborn IMO is disgusting and leaving them like that to me is borderline abuse. Their needs aren't being met, doesn't matter if their bum is clean, they are fed and burped etc... screaming newborn babies need love, warmth and affection even if they keep on screaming while getting that... just my opinion. Sorry ladies, just bothers me to think of a newborn baby being left to cry

It makes me upset too. I just can't even think of it. Even now I don't let Emma cry like that. Sure I will leave the room or take a shower while she stands there and cries. (not that I have a choice as a single mother right now) But not shoving her all alone in her room to cry. I'll do what's best for my child and any future children. I've quickly learned on here when I see a thread I don't like, I hit the back button. It's much less stressful that way. There's really no point in arguing with people because they'll do what they want regardless of what I say.

I have defiantly come to the conclusion that breastfeeding info offends people who cant breastfeed who really dont have to look at it and cant even step aside so that woman who havnt tried can try just stand there and tell them how hard and bad it is and how they failed. I feel sorry for them but I do not think the place is in a thread for helping woman who want to do it : ( it always happens in here, someone comes and says their kids aren bf and healthy and feel bad. Really no on posts these thread to get at any one. this is why bf info is not getting spread.

And this morning's news piece isn't going to help at all.

my dad text me saying something was on telly but i was in bed and everyone was asleep so what was it?

 

[Miss_Bump]

It is a shame that quite a lot if threads get closed now in BC

It makes me laugh why some people are confused at how posting about newborns and CIO lead to rows?

Hope all you ladies are having a good Friday?

We are kind of cosleeping now. Evie will sleep for a few hours in her cot then is wide awake and wanting to play until she is in with me - still not sure how I feel about cosleeping so opinions please ladies as I know this thread won't get closed lol

Miss_Bump - we co-sleep. I was sooo against it before K was born. When I was in hospital recovering from the emergency c-section I couldn't move and the MW showed my how to feed lying down. I said oh I really don't feel comfortable doing this I won't do this at home. Ffwd a few months and when K was waking up lots during the night I kept finding myself falling asleep with him in my arms and that really bothered me. I thought I'd maybe drop him so started lying down to feed and we've pretty much co-sleeped since he was about 3 months old although I did buy one of those guards for the side of the bed. But I can honestly say I love love love cosleeping. The nights when he goes to sleep in his cot I can't sleep! I lay awake waiting/willing for him to wake so I can cuddle into him. The other plus point for me is that because he does wake so often during the night (although only 2 times last night ) I can max my sleep for getting up for work the next day.

[lynnikins]

aww how cute DF, Nate loves giving EJ hugs and trying to comfort him when hes upset

 

[Nimbus]

ah, i've just seen that one lady on here has a lovely pic of her feeding her baby... very cute. I'm tempted to put mine on, but i've always kinda kept pics away as i'm worried that someone will recognise me! Isn't that crazy! Having said that why would they recognise my boobs!?! ok, perhaps they might as i'm not all that much of a prude nowadays and happy for anyone to see me feed. Does that sound looney? Oh, and do we reckon that i'll go all shy when i stop feeding? just some thoughts. How's everyone this evening?

CIO terrifies me. IMO a child shouldn't be left to CIO. 5 mins here n there while u shower, make the tea, change ya clothes, etc is fair enuf but I don't understand how anyone can bear listening to their kid cry for an hour n not have every bone in her body screaming at her to intervene? I just don't get it, but then, each to their own I guess.

How's everyone doing?

 

[Eve]

Oh yes our babies are gorgeous!

Ugh.. had a big fight with my dad today, I haven't spoken to him since our fight over the breastfeeding pictures etc.. and today Mom made me call him... well big big big fight. Telling me it was stupid,crazy,with the f-bomb in there a few times, that I would want to show a picture of myself breastfeeding Kayleigh He was a total dick... I don't think he is coming to Kayleigh's party Sunday. I understand he has an opinion but it's how he is coming across. I cried for hours today after the fight. I ended the conversation with You can go *f-bomb* yourself!

 

[Eve]

Love the vid DF! So sweet!

 

[TigerLady]

Eve. I'm sorry your dad has been difficult.

Not been in here much -- I've been time limited lately. :sigh: Hope everyone doing well, though!

 

[Eve]

Thanks hun! It's terrible... I couldn't believe he was/is being like this...

 

[cleckner04]

Aww hun. I'm so sorry your dad is being like that. He should support his daughter no matter what she wants to do. If you wanted to pose in penthouse he should still support that.

:wave: tigerlady!!

 

[Dragonfly]

sorry bout your dad eve, sounds horrible. theres having an opinion but he seems to not be letting it go and wants to fight. its his prob though it would make you feel sad as I feel sad for you. My parents maybe bad sometimes but not anti breastfeeding. We all made up by the way, no one brought up the pics again after the apology. I dont think they will ever do that again either.
