This isn’t really directed towards anyone in particular, but I’m going to say it anyway, because it’ll feel good to get it off my chest. Don’t ask for advice and then not take it!
If you’re going to stop breastfeeding when your baby is barely 48 hours old, introduce formula right after, don’t wonder why your baby is fussy and upset. Duh! Going from what she should be getting – breast milk – to what she shouldn’t be getting if it can be helped – formula – is the culprit. Same mother then decides to give breastfeeding another try – just for a few days, and then once again goes back to formula a few days after that, citing “my baby wasn’t getting enough breast milk” as the reason. Well, duh. You can’t just fuck around with your milk supply – demand for two days, don’t demand for a few days, then demand for another few days – and expect it to magically produce. It’s called supply and demand for a reason.
And inductions. Why oh why are these women blindly going into inductions for no reason, other than their doctor said, “Okay, let’s have a baby!”? Do these women not realize that 30% of inductions (ONE in THREE ladies!) wind up in a c-section? C-sections present plenty of risks themselves, both to the mother and the baby. There are other risks to inductions, including fetal distress, uterine rupture and placenta rupture. And let’s not forget the toll unnatural, harder, longer and stronger contractions take on a woman’s body, a body that wasn’t prepared for the artificial contractions thrust on it.
Grr, just grr…
