Breastfeeding Support - 6 months and beyond!

Congrats on the 6 months aob!

Df, your family are nobs, sorry but they are. They need some bloody education in parenting choices and tact!

Cleckner, how old were you when u got married? Did u get any hassles from people for being 'young'

My dads all for health, reads up on things and agrees with breastfeeding though has that thing where he even thinks I have to hide away as family will get uncomfortable. I havnt seen some of them in a long time as they stopped visiting they would clear the room when I fed William. Its not like I am sitting there with no top on boobs out ffs! I dont want them seeing my boob either so I use a blanket but seems they cant ignore it that way either.

Its also the way this area is, most people are like that. In fact everyone I met is like that. Even I was like that as I didnt know what breasts where for before I was pregnant as I looked after all my cousins and sis and it was formula all the way. Mum always went on about how this one made them sick and that one what a bad brand it was making babies sick :nope:

My dad just face palms at my mums stupidness and says its mu choice and he dosnt know why my aunt keeps saying her kids turned out ok on formula. I would argue they turned out ok full stop (not all formula before I get shot) but they are very hostile to my son snapping his toys off him and two of them are in high school ! they should know better at their age really.
 
Kind of following on from what you saud DF about FF...

I have noticed that BF babies SEEM more content in general

Evie is an easy going happy baby. I'm not saying FF doesn't make for a happy baby, but she is just generally content.

She will play by herself and she is happy to sit on different laps and talks to everyone she is such a babbler

My other friends who have children ranging from 5 months - 4 years who have FF seems to have less contented babies compared to Evie

Example - SIL FF my niece and she just doesn't seem very happy and I really feel for them both. Her 5 month old is always very groggy and cries often but constantly has a dummy placed into her mouth :( she is fed every 5 hours and not a second before

My cousin has a 13 month old boy who is still BF and his personality is like Evie. He is very content and generous and loving

I hope I wont get flamed for this post but it's just what I've observed

Unless I'm just lucky that Evie is easy going
 
I know what you mean and thats why I breastfeed. They are more content, milk agrees with them, no tummy upsets or other probs that go with formula feeding. Everyone always comments on how content and happy my babies are and it is because of breastfeeding as I have looked after enough babies to see that. Mine are the only ones I ever known to be breastfeed. Its not just inside bm makes healthy its all over, even skin and eyes look different. It makes sence eat healthy look healthy and that goes for temperament to. Its also an observation and a known fact anyway so hope i dont get shot and think anyone's being insulting. I can also tell the difference between a ff baby and breastfed even though so many say they cant see a difference


coincidence , I get told I am just "lucky" to. :dohh:
 
I totally agree with you DF.

I can spot a FF baby, too. Not that it matters, but there is definately a difference!
 
heres my boys being cute

OH trying to help but being dragged away by his fam and giving me false promises. nothing new there.
 
theres a definate difference between ff and bf kids lol i can see it in my kids lol

doc asked "oh he is a big boy whats he being fed"? me boob, both of them. doc: have you still not got him off the boon yet,. referring to William. Well its bad for her business isnt it. less patients as William has never needed her.

hun alex will be fine ive had a heart murmer all my life but my heart is fine all in one peice and im sure his is too.
i dont like vaccinations either so :hugs:
and the doc needs to get a life its perfectly healthy and ok for William to still be breastfed
 
DF - that video is so super cute!! your boys are adorable.

I also think you can see a difference between FF and BF babies, esp. when you look at their skin and eyes.
 
I too have a heart murmur and I'm fine :)

Lots of children will grow out of it, i only noticed mine when I got palpitations.

Had A few tests and scans and nothing needs to be done.

:hugs:
 
Alyssa is front of the queue to be William's girlfriend! :rofl:

:hugs: My sister has a heart murmur, has done since birth. She is perfectly fit and well, no problems at all.

I agree with the general difference between FF and BF babies. Alyssa is very much like the others you describe - easygoing, confident, self-assured, a talker. Also beautiful clear skin and radiant complexion.

xx
 
oh Cleckner- I love that show "say yes to the dress"! I didn't even wear a wedding dress when I got married :blush:

I didn't know you've been your DH for so long. My DH was my HS sweetheart- I was 17 when we started dating, 20 when we moved in together, but we didn't get married until I was 25 and now I'm 30!


I'm really lucky that my pediatrician supports extended bf... so she's always happy when I whip out my boob to try and calm down Kira :thumbup:
 
lol yeah lets blame FF for the acne and the weight that just wont go DF lol
we are who we are and your lovely inside and out hun
 
Evie is still on a nursing strike, well a conscience one as I've manage to dream feed her 3 times today

It's really been getting me down as she wont even latch, it's like she has no idea how to nurse

Tomorrow is another day and I'm hoping we can get back on track
 
spidey- How could you not have a wedding dress?! :haha: That's the best part of the whole thing!!
Oh, and I guess you get to marry the one you love too...:haha:

Yeah I was 14 when I met DH, but 15 when we started dating. We aren't from the same towns though so I don't think we can be considered highschool sweethearts. It took him a while to get me to talk to him. I was super duper shy. :shy: A few of my friends gave him their numbers and kept throwing themselves at him but he only had eyes for me. :cloud9:

I can't believe you're 30! You just don't look it at all. And oohh you guys were naughty..living together before marriage like that. Sinners! :winkwink::haha:
