17. Moms need TIME with their babies in order to feed them

Edited on Mon Apr-05-10 03:26 PM by SoCalDem

If Mom is schlepping the baby to daycare and using her day at work, it's hard to feed the baby herself.

Breastfeeding is about more than pumping milk into a bottle at breaktime.

It's about supply & demand, and finding the rhythm between Mom & baby. That requires TIME with the baby..24-7.

Most modern Moms cannot choose to stay home with their babies.

The irony is that so many of the last generation of women who DID have time with their babies, were conned into thinking that "modern Mothers" should use formula..

Many Moms during the 50's & 60's chose formula because clever marketers convinced them it was "better" for their babies:(
