[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Breast may be best, but only if all other factors are equal. If, however, nursing causes the mom a ton of heightened anxiety and pain, then breast is not best.[/quote] If OP avoids all aspects of motherhood that cause anxiety and pain, she may as well just give up now. She hasn't even had the kid yet and is already looking for shortcuts without even trying it out first. [/quote] So PP, what's it like being a martyr? You sound miserable.[/quote] Not miserable at all. I love motherhood. But have my doubts about OP - she doesn't seem to understand the extent to which her life is about to change. [/quote] None of us understands the extent to which life will change when we have kids. (You're going to say you did, but you'll be lying about that.) That is not a reason to have "doubts about" any of us. [/quote] I most definitely did NOT know the extent to which my life would change. But I have witnessed enough to see that those who enter parenting with a selfish and rigid view of how they will/will not parent usually end up unhappy. OP would be better served to keep an open mind in general. She also needs to let go of the notion that her DH has no say in how his child is parented.[/quote] NP here. The OP has a medical problem for which breastfeeding is going to cause excruciating pain. She already has a high level of pain in her pre-baby DAY TO DAY LIFE. Do you know what that feels like? Do you?? I thought not. But please, by all means, continue to insist that everyone suffer endlessly for their babies, like a good mommy martyr. You are repulsive and pathetic.[/quote]
