QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Dec 20 2008, 03:53 PM) There are huge chemical differences between human and bovine milk. It is possible for infants to be allergic to breastmilk, but it is *extremely* rare. If you have another kid, I would recommend trying to breastfeed, at least initially. It usually results in fewer problems overall. Still try it with the second child. What did the docs say what compound he was allergic to? -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

I understand that breastfeeding long term can be a hassle, but I think the health benefits are worth doing it for the first few months. *shrugs* -------------------- |

Health benefits for whom? Me or the baby or both?
Because I need to work. I thought I was going to have a more stable job months ago. The hassle of pumping and all that is just something I don't want to deal with. If you are insinuating in any fashion that I am being negligent by not breastfeeding, then I don't know what to tell you. I was bottlefed. My brother was bottlefed. We turned out fine. Also, I don't feel like popping my breasts out in public just to feed the baby. Bottlefeeding has been very convenient. Additionally, my husband was able to feed the baby too and that made for excellent bonding time. I could have pumped, sure; but I'm not a cow and I don't like the idea of being milked. |

Health benefits for the baby, primarily, mainly antibodies conveyed through the milk. Research also suggests that breastfed babies have lower rates of allergies, asthma, obesity, diabetes, etc. There are health benefits for the mother too, primarily the fact that nursing burns calories and makes it easier to lose the pregnancy weight. But I I am not insinuating that you are being negligent by not breastfeeding. While I do believe that breast milk is superior food (unless the mother is a druggie/alcoholic or significantly malnourished), formula has come a long, long way and is good too. I mainly wondered why you didn't bf for the first couple of months, since you weren't working then and wouldn't have to worry about pumping (and it would've been cheaper than formula... lol).

Well, because of my odd diet, I had concerns about that as well. I mean, I did everything I could to stay healthy while I was pregnant. I just don't know that my body could have taken much more. Also, right after I had Donovan, I could fit into all of my old clothes as early as 5 days postpartum. Those were the same clothes I was wearing when I weighed 115 pounds. It wasn't until about 2 months after I had him that I started to put on weight, which I contribute to eating when I'm bored. I NEVER EVER feel full. I eat a huge meal, but it's never enough. I swear it feels like I am pregnant again, but I know I am not. I know the health benefits are excellent for babies, but Donovan hasn't gotten sick much at all. He had an ear infection and then that allergy. I was bottlefed and I was never overweight growing up, I don't have diabetes, and I have no allergies that I know of. I do have asthma, though. My brother doesn't have any of those things. He wasn't breastfed because he was on a ventilator for a few weeks when he was born due to a congenital heart defect. By the time he came home weeks after he was born, of course my mom wasn't able to breastfeed because her supply dried up. I don't know. I weighed the options. I thought it through a lot... A LOT. I just decided it wasn't for me. The biggest reason is that I just wasn't comfortable with the idea. I have really sensitive nipples and couldn't imagine having to have a baby feed off them. (TMI). Like I said, not for me. I'll think about it some more when I get pregnant again, but I feel I made the best decision for my first child. Also, I didn't have very much swelling postpartum, and I had absolutely no leaking, so I'm going to continue convincing myself that my boobs are broken.

You probably would have been fine diet-wise, but I totally understand that breastfeeding isn't for everyone. If/when you do get pregnant again, I would highly recommend bf'ing for a short while, since the colostrum that's produced for the first few days after pregnancy is the most beneficial (really high in vitamins, minerals, and antibodies), even if you decide to switch to formula soon after.
But bear in mind that I'm totally talking out my ass. While I've done a lot of reading about caring for kiddos, obviously I've never been pregnant and had to deal with all the stuff that goes along with it. Do whatever is most comfortable to you, I just recommend the colostrum thing due to research I've done on breastfeeding. *shrugs* -------------------- |
