[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this is primarily an online debate, at least among UMC. No UMC person with internet access should allow themselves to be terrorized by pro-BF or pro-formula advocates. They should take ownership for their decisions.

Every single UMC woman I know has given birth with the goal of BFing, at least through maternity leave. Many started supplementing or switched over to formula completely if their supply didn’t allow EBF.

I myself supplemented in the early days since my milk was delayed, at the suggestion of my MD and blessing of my lactation consultant. Went back to EBF after my supply strengthened. Can’t imagine being so gullible that I would blindly follow an LC while ignoring signs of dehydration![/quote]

No, it's not an online debate.

Every single UMC woman I know breastfed in order to follow medical advice. Many found the experience to be extremely stressful but they were doing what their child's pediatrician and staff told them to do. Passive aggressively bashing women for following medical advice is absurd and abusive.[/quote]

In this day and age, no one who is educated should follow their doctor’s instructions blindly. They should use their critical thinking skills.[/quote]
