I have a great number ...I like this article a lot. I have a great number of strong opinions on how my son should be raised but I know from experience that alienating other people will not make them see all the facts more clearly, it just makes them angry and defensive. <br /><br />Sometimes stating the facts WILL make people upset, and the only thing I think you can do in that case is clarify that you're trying to give them all the information because you want them to succeed, and if they ask you to stop, respect that. Respect will go a lot father than proving that you're right and they are wrong. <br /><br />We don't all have access to resources, good examples, or accurate information and that's a shame. This article does an excellent job of clarifying how we can give those resources, examples and that accurate information to the women who need it without creating an aura of superiority that may result in resentment. <br /><br />Being a lactivist isn't about being right, for me. It's about helping other women that have struggled and failed because of whatever circumstances so that they can overcome and succeed, whatever that means for them. And yes, it also means trying to provide human milk for all babies, but we should never lose sight of the ultimate goal: Helping babies AND women.<br /><br />Also, while I'm writing a novel here, I should note an experience I recently had. I attended church with a college friend of mine and she asked me to nurse in a classroom before the main meeting so that I wouldn't alienate the other people attending (all unmarried students). I let her know that my son would probably need to nurse again but complied with her wishes to make her feel more comfortable anyway. <br /><br />We weren't far into the meeting when my son needed to nurse again. I allowed him to nurse as much as he wanted throughout the next two hours, and a few days later when I saw my friend again she told me she realized she was being foolish and rude to ask me to not nurse in front of other people. She personally would not be comfortable doing it, but she saw that when I treated nursing in public as normal, nobody else made a fuss either.<br /><br />At least one person has been enlightened by my willingness to nurse in front of others, and that's more than I ever expected.Arualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864953064301451142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-30559384833006134712010-12-22T15:13:41.628-08:002010-12-22T15:13:41.628-08:00I don't see it as formula feeders are lazy, ir...I don't see it as formula feeders are lazy, irrisponsible and so, I put all that blame to the people who peddle it, the companies who work so hard to lie and mislead mothers and parents.<br />like someone keeps saying to me, we do what is best at the time with the information we have at the time, whether that be totally innacurate and full of lies and deceat or not. If we aren't shown the full picture, an accurate picture and have the truth hidden from us we can not and do not make informed choices.<br />This is why I believe education is so powerful. I have nursed my 2 in public since the day they were born and unfortunatly for me, I have had more negative than positive reactions so no, I do not believe NIP will change peoples attitudes, especially those mothers who see no difference in formula and human milk.<br />I personally do not demonise formula feeding mothers, but I will no sit back and let people believe formula is just as good, or ok for babies because it is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-50479895221141853012010-12-22T06:22:51.087-08:002010-12-22T06:22:51.087-08:00I'm sorry you feel that way. I disagree, obvi...I'm sorry you feel that way. I disagree, obviously - I consider myself a lactivist, so calling lactivists names would be fairly counterproductive. <br /><br />As I commented to someone offline, formula is inferior to breast milk. Formula-feeding mothers, however, are NOT inferior to nursing mothers. That's the important distinction. I am all for informed choice, and that includes understanding the risks of formula to babies. It is important, however, not to alienate your audience. <br /><br />For example, it can be equally tempting to call parents who have circumcised their babies "mutilators", "torturers" or "abusers". Whether or not you believe this to be true, it doesn't generally further the cause. It's a tough line to walk; as intactivists, we should certainly highlight that circumcision causes infant deaths. We should also spend at least equal time (or in my opinion, more time) discussing the positive benefits of having genital integrity. See what I mean? <br /><br />As for nursing in public, boycotting, supporting and so on, yes, it absolutely WILL increase breastfeeding rates. Fear is a powerful motivator, no doubt - but it works only short-term. The normalization of breastfeeding is key to increasing breastfeeding rates.<br /><br />Anyway, I certainly didn't intend to slight breastfeeding moms. I was one, and I intend to be one again.NotTellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717609731146815913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-82257173801221333882010-12-21T13:29:10.089-08:002010-12-21T13:29:10.089-08:00I just don't think the title is appropriate, r...I just don't think the title is appropriate, regardless of who wrote it, it just makes breastfeeding mum's and advocates/lactivists look like a bunch of preachy, heartless and insensitive women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-4830542041412066112010-12-21T13:19:35.192-08:002010-12-21T13:19:35.192-08:00I found the article rather antagonistic and tarred...I found the article rather antagonistic and tarred a lot of women with the same brush, it is as bad as calling formula feeding mothers 'lazy, irrisponsible' and so on.<br /><br />I didn't find it a positive article, I found it offensive. I have personally been attacked by ffers for sharing information that should help them make an informed choice, something which is severely lacking in the UK, people use formula without knowing the true facts! Companies are playing russian roulette with infants lives and putting them at very real risks. Where do you draw the line? Do you give parents the ability to make a truely informed choice or do you let them sit in the dark?<br />I as a parent want to know that my child is at a 50% increased risk of SIDS if I were to use formula to feed them! I want to know that infant formula, the stuf designed for small babies, not 6 months plus contains 16% more aluminium than what is LEGALLY allowed in the UK water supply! Because of some of the contents in formula (that really shouldn't be there) it should be classed as a poison because that is exactly what excess aluminium and manganese are in the human body! <br />It NEEDS making much much safer than what it is! I'm not calling formula feeding mums anything but midinformed because they are because NO ONE AT ALL IS WILLING to tell them thr truth just in case you offend them.<br />Nursing in public, boycotting bad practice and so on isn't going to encourage women to feed, Giving them the ability and the power to make an informed choice from reading the truth about infant feeding and getting the formula companies to become a more strickly regulated body will do much better. Education is the key, not slagging off ffers or bfers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-18842617733926697772010-12-21T03:17:26.868-08:002010-12-21T03:17:26.868-08:00I love, love, love the helpful advice in the secon...I love, love, love the helpful advice in the second part of this article :) but... the people who make hurtful and unthinking comments like those at the start _aren't'_ actually lactivists - they're just bullies :(<br /><br />Great piece though :)Bettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608788970351260977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-9551273055694290422010-12-20T14:02:28.237-08:002010-12-20T14:02:28.237-08:00I agree - failure to thrive is absolutely a reason...I agree - failure to thrive is absolutely a reason to supplement, ideally with donated milk. I am in favor of happy, living babies. Breast milk is less important than the overall health of the infant or the mother. We shouldn't need to say that, but we do...you're absolutely right.<br /><br />My concern is that formula not be a "gut" reaction, but that attempts be made to increase a mother's supply before resorting to supplementation, which can lead to lower supply, leading to lower production, more supplementation, etc. I know a lot of women who started with 1-2oz of supplemental formula per day, and day by day, the supply continued to drop until the baby was exclusively formula-fed, despite their desire to breastfeed. <br /><br />My comments about "just one bottle" come from this and similar research: http://www.health-e-learning.com/articles/JustOneBottle.pdf<br /><br />Re: bottles - I don't have a problem with bottles. I feed my son with a bottle and have since he was 6 weeks old. Transitioning from breast to bottle can indeed be challenging; my "demonization" comes from the dangers of introducing one too soon, or linking babies with bottles more than breasts in popular culture.<br /><br />As for vitamin D, research has shown that 17-18 minutes per day of sun exposure is adequate for the average breastfed baby. Alternatively, if this level of vitamin D is not sustainable, the mother can supplement (as I do, for unrelated reasons), and the baby gets sufficient vitamin D from her. <br />http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/vitamins/vitamin-d.htmlNotTellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717609731146815913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-45129298081028005102010-12-20T13:19:46.634-08:002010-12-20T13:19:46.634-08:00Great article.

I managed to breast feed my first for 10 months (plus 2 months EBM) and I'm hoping to go at least as long with my second. However, there are lots of reasons breast feeding may not work and no one should be made to inadequate if it is not doable.<br /><br />I was a bit discouraged by your statement "One bottle of formula *does* harm a nursing relationship." As a pediatric sub specialist who sees lots of failure to thrive babies I feel very strongly that supplementation is sometimes necessary. Failure to thrive is not a reason to not breast feed. It is a reason to supplement - whether by bottle or by nursing supplementer, cup, syringe or bottle. I jokingly tell parents that formula and breast milk can happily co-exist in a baby. If they want to continue to breast feed they should. If they choose not to, they should stand tall and be proud of the choices they make.<br /><br />I also am surprised by the deominization of bottles. As a mommy who went back to work I learned the hard way that if you wait too long to start bottles it can be a big problem.<br /><br />And lastly... breast feeding babies do need vitamin D supplements. Unless you live somewhere warm and sunny and can leave your naked baby outside or by an open window for a hour every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-56394952943223063142010-12-20T09:50:44.074-08:002010-12-20T09:50:44.074-08:00@Anonymous, thanks, I fixed the typo. 12 weeks is...@Anonymous, thanks, I fixed the typo. 12 weeks is correct.NotTellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717609731146815913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-56587289656033858312010-12-20T07:34:36.502-08:002010-12-20T07:34:36.502-08:00Even before I got pregnant I had decided to breast...Even before I got pregnant I had decided to breast feed my children until at least 1 or they weaned themselves. I had seen my mom do it with both of my sisters and had no questions or any reserve about doing it. I didn't even worry about latching, I just knew I could do it. Unfortunately a month after my daughter was born I had the depo shot. No one told me I would lose all my milk which is what happened. I stubbornly kept trying and trying and trying only to have my daughter scream 24/7 and be only 9 lbs. at 4 months. I didn't want to do formula. Thank God I was finally told my milk was gone and I needed to. The difference in my daughter is night and day. At first I was heart broken and blamed myself all the time. But my daughter is 10 months now, happy healthy, smart and finally at a normal size. My husband is military so I did have access to LC's and such for free. I pumped and pumped but got nothing. I wish I could have still breast fed. Formula is not cheap and there have been months where we have cut it close. They have a breast feeding support group on base even but I quit going to that once I started formula because I felt like an outcast and an all out enemy to these women. I only felt worse after the meetings not better. I fully support breast feeding, in public or not. But I also now understand that some women need to do formula. I will admit that once we switched my stress level went down. I was able to sleep because my husband could help out more. Even my husband told me that while he was sorry that I couldn't breast feed he had been jealous because he didn't get as much time with our daughter. With out next child I won't get the depo shot, and I will breast feed as long as my child wants. I will do it in public if need be and if I am at my house I will only be partially covered.Araya Loftinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-91148593116684001102010-12-20T07:17:36.578-08:002010-12-20T07:17:36.578-08:00FMLA is 12 weeks, not 13 weeks.FMLA is 12 weeks, not 13 weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-24445358450436415532010-12-20T05:53:24.224-08:002010-12-20T05:53:24.224-08:00@mamapoekie, I completely agree - but you'd be...@mamapoekie, I completely agree - but you'd be surprised how many mothers feel like they should excuse themselves and head to a spare bedroom when visiting friends.

Will be using it for the next Sunday Surf, and you can count me in as a follower. <br />I did find it a little strange to suggest nursing moms can nurse in your living room. That should be a given. If you are close enough to someone to *be* in their living room, then why on earth shouldn't you nurse there?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773235393702832137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-81024886449084068442010-12-20T03:36:49.628-08:002010-12-20T03:36:49.628-08:00Wonderful stuff, thank you!
Did you know that the ...Wonderful stuff, thank you!<br />Did you know that the people who organise the Nestlé boycott also work to make formula safer? They campaign, inform the public, and attend national and international high-level meetings (UN etc) where the rules are discussed, about ingredients, health claims and so on. You can find out more about this vital work at:<br /><br />www.babymilkaction.org<br />and<br />www.ibfan.org<br /> or on the Facebook pages:<br /> www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4868284577<br />and<br />www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4978994961Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426708469469820849.post-53042580856821003532010-12-19T19:58:41.625-08:002010-12-19T19:58:41.625-08:00Great post!

I just wanted to tell you that I *AM* one of those mothers who lived it first and am now an advocate for things I didn't do (except circumcision...I did NOT do that to my son...though I'm very much an intactavist.) I both breastfed and formula fed from the get-go, I used disposable diapers, and I had an unecessarean (after a very highly medically managed hospital birth.) I am now a doula, a breastfeeding counselor, a homebirth midwifery student, and a nurse. My experienced have changed my life for the better (although I could have done without the PTSD from my son's birth.) Next time I will have a HBAC, cloth diaper, exclusively breastfeed, and most definitely NOT circumcise. In addition, I will strive to help ALL women be more informed and educate themselves. <br /><br />THanks for the post, it is awesome. <br /><br />www.sweetlittlebundlesbirthservices.com<br /><br />www.facebook.com/sweetlittlebundlesbirthservicesStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505434471402262283noreply@blogger.com
