[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God no. Why on earth. I'm not going to let my kid drink someone else's bodily fluid!!! Breast is best is a travesty I swear to God. Please read the actual scientific literature on the benefits of breastmilk. This is a mass effing delusion the men who work at the FDA cooked up. [/quote]

Agree. [b]The History of La Leche League isn’t all puppies and rainbows either.[/b] Funny how breastfeeding forces a mom into perpetual serfdom. What a coincidence /s[/quote]

OP here. Do you mind sharing more about La Leche? My friend is doing virtual visits with a La Leche group but won’t see an LC. The baby had lost more than 10% of birth weight and was jaundiced at a pediatrician appointment. From what she shared it didn’t sound like nursing was going well that week (only nursing 5 minutes at a time, baby sleeping for 5 hours at a time, showing hunger signs after nursing, etc). I am not going to bring this up with my friend, per advice earlier in the thread, but I am really wondering if the La Leche person encouraged her to keep nursing (or giving breast milk, even from random internet strangers) at all costs even though it was pretty apparent things weren’t going well. At one point my friend was only giving the baby milk with a syringe (when we spoke I did try to tell her that nipple confusion isn’t a real thing but she didn’t seem to want to hear it). Anyway, now I am wondering what kind of organization is La Leche?![/quote]

Her baby is going to end up as failure to thrive. Hopefully she's seeing a good pediatrician. I hate this country sometimes. [/quote]
