[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s annoying but you are making everything harder for yourself (including handling her) by insisting on breastfeeding. At 2 weeks PP your milk supply isn’t going to increase. [/quote]

You are a moron. I had a similar situation and had to briefly supplement with formula and eventually wean off the shield but we went on to successfully exclusively breastfeed for the whole year after the bumpy start and brief supplementation. I was so glad I didn’t listen to people like you. [/quote]
Not PP, but like…cool, so happy for you, but for some of us it JUST DOESNT HAPPEN and yes we consulted with all of the people and did all of the things and pumped around the clock using the hospital grade pump for literally the entire fourth trimester, and it Didn’t. Happen. Please recognize that the pushy bullying around guilting women to breastfeed is the dominant narrative in our culture right now, and totally not okay. PP may have sounded a little know-it-all but I think it’s necessary to make space for points of view aligned with hers. You coming in all superior with your name-calling and your one-person anecdote about success is way worse than PP, especially in this thread where OP is wearing herself down terribly trying to make breastfeeding exclusively a part of her journey. With a MIL who piles on to that guilt. Do you see how your perspective is not necessarily the more helpful one?[/quote]
