[blparent] Sensitive breast feeding concern, ladies only

[Sheila Leigland]

HI, I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLE HEARTEDLY ON THIS ONE. OUR SON HAD TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL WITH AN INFECTION WHEN HE WAS EIGHTEEEN DAYS OLD. I WANTED TO BREASTFEED BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR ME. I FELT JUDGED BECAUSE OF THE BONDING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF BREAST FEEDING. oUR BABY WAS HELD AND LOVED. wE COULDN'T SEE HIM BUT WE WORKED AT HIM KNOWING WE WERE LOOKING AT HIM AND PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM. A BREAST DOESN'T MAKE YOU A GOOD OR BAD MOM. hOW WE LOVE AND CARE FOR OUR CHILDREN IS WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS US AS PARENTS WHETHER BLIND OR SIGHTED NO\URSING MOMS OR NOT.
