Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 19
Day 19 (Thursday). Let us in on something your passionate about. Go ahead and rant a little bit. Something such as an event, special cause, a pet peeve, someone who makes you mad.)
These topics are going to get me in trouble… lol! I’m super passionate about breastfeeding and babywearing. It makes me SO mad, angry, upset, sad, frustrated…. and etc when new mom’s don’t even TRY to breastfeed. How do you know it won’t work for you if you don’t try? I mean really…. how do you know? Even if you just nurse your new baby for the first 24 hours and then don’t continue, those first precious drops of colostrum are SO amazing for your baby! Babywearing… do it correctly please! Baby wearing is AMAZING, it’s such a great way to bond with your children… let’s just not buy crotch danglers and forward face our kids, okay?

When I fist started writing, all I could think was uh-oh people are going to think I’m calling them lazy! LOL But, I sort of agree with what you are saying. I know breastfeeding isn’t for everyone, but even at 19 I gave it a try. I did it for two weeks supplementing with formula when needed. My kiddo was a hungry little buggar and due to several reasons (stress, etc) I just was not producing the amount of milk needed. Plus, I just wasn’t enjoying meal time…at all. I was beginning to actually dread it and that is when I knew I needed to just go with the formula. But, I was happy for the colostrum she got because I have and have always had the healthiest kid I know! I always tease my friends and say it was because I was still so young and had all the “school germs” that’s why she was always so healthy and never gets “school sick” hahaha
