|---|
I just totally got a lecture from my husband because he thinks I am trying to influence people to breastfeed -- even though I don't have children. (which I am ) All I know is that I have friends that do breastfeed and friends that do not breastfeed. I grew up being breastfed until at least 6 months I know for sure. My mother had 5 children and I was the first!!! I am friends with Jucifer which hosts a helpful resource to those that need help breastfeeding. And I must say that she has had significant affect on me that my husband is calling me a militant breastfeeding Nazi that has ZERO children. Kind of funny. However, I had a friend who suggested that she wanted to supplement formula and breast milk the first few months so she could get her baby to sleep so she could get back to work. She is taking all her vitamins and taking additional iron vitamins since she is iron deficient. I want to be able to help her GENTLY and KINDLY to show her the benefits of breastfeeding. She is a recent college grad -- making maybe 26K here in Atlanta with no family here. She is going to have to put the baby in daycare at least after 3 months. Any help would be appreciated.
Jucifer thanks in advance!
Best,
Anna in Atlanta!
Edit: Husband thinks that I should NOT be bringing this up - that I am WRONG for trying to talk with my friend about the benefits of breastfeeding. He says it is inVASIVE... HELP. am I un-appropriate,? |
