[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not every mother can breastfeed (supply, pain, everlasting latch issues, prescriptions that contraindicate, etc.). Not every mother enjoys breastfeeding. I think maximizing options and supporting mothers in the choices that are best for them and their family are best. Not assuming one choice is best for all. [/quote] No, not every mother, but the VAST majority. The lack of support and information are the biggest barrier. Do you "enjoy" giving your child a bottle? I don't understand that reason. [/quote] I saw a new[b] great [/b]grampa give a two month old baby his bottle. No question they both enjoyed it very much! MY DH gave my daughter her first bottle of the morning everyday. It was a lovely time for them. He was sad when bottles ended.[/quote] Wow! Great Grandchild?? Must have been old!![/quote] I'm not the pp you quoted. A friend of mine just became a grandma in her early 40s (she had her first baby at age 18, her oldest child had his first child in his early 20s.) They posted a picture of four generations (baby, Daddy, Grandma (my friend) and Great Grandpa (her dad.) I believe her dad is only in his mid 60s--not that old. In DC and other areas people wait a long time to have kids, but in many parts of the country it's not unusual to get married and have kids (YES! In that order!) in late teens or early 20s. [/quote]
