[quote=Anonymous] This is OP. This got nasty...fast. My intent was just to ask for the experience of other mothers who FF. Not start a debate. My first experience was awful. I had the nurse who came so my baby’s hearing test yell at me and grab my breasts telling me I was doing it wrong. Well, I wasn’t. My milk didn’t come in until day 5. So, I had a starving baby in the hospital and was told my only option was donor milk fed via syringe. Women should be able to know all the options available to them. And with my first, I didn’t have that. Thank you to those with all the helpful supportive comments - regardless of how you fed your babies.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such an ignorant question that comes up often from expecting mothers that clearly have some unresolved feelings about their choice to FF their baby.

No one cares what you do. No one is going to pressure you. Just state you are not breastfeeding. Really it's quite simple without your (gasp!) histrionics. [/quote]

Oh sweetie. You have NO idea what you’re talking about.[/quote]

Really? How old are your kids? Mine are 2 and 4.

Modern day hospitals now know that women are free to make a choice and they support that, generally. Unless you're someone with weak resolve, like OP. Perhaps some nurse might see that as an opening to encourage breastfeeding. Still unlikely. They are busy and you'll be discharged within 24 hours because covid.

Sorry they strapped you to the bed and put you in twilight to have your kids. This is what happens now.

But go ahead and feed her hysterical anxieties about things that haven't even happened yet. [/quote]

This literally happened to OP. Can you read? She HAD THIS EXPERIENCE in the past. Why are you gaslighting her and the rest of us who have had this happe to us? Why are you even in this thread if you have nothing compassionate or useful to contribute?[/quote][/quote]
