These Facebook pages are meant for mothers to share ideas or consult one another about issues n all. What I realli cannot stand is when mothers ask the most ridiculous nonsensical questions!!!
Eg:
"I'm having a flu now and I went to see the doctor n he/she prescribed me wif this medicine n I mentioned I'm breastfeeding. Jus wanna check if it's safe or nt?"
I mean c'mon ur doctor is more knowledgable than these mothers n I'm pretty darn sure he or she has studied enough to be able to be qualified to prescribe u the rite medicines!?
"Is this food item safe for breastfeeding?"
I always believe in moderation. If u are unsure better to be safe n sorri n avoid? Or jus pump n dump.
"So n so say I should do this n that (eg: give pacifier, start on formula etc) should I or nt?"
Hello isn't tt ur child n u are the parent so can't u decide?! Parenthood is all about u making the rite n appropriate decisions tt suit u n ur baby! Nt following watever other people tell u.
"I don't hav enough supply n I tried everything! But I realli don't wanna substitute wif fm so how?"
I realli don't get wat is so wrong wif FM!! Yes BM is always better but if u realli can't supply then give FM! Y so stress abt it? Like esp those mothers who whine n complain when their baby is already a few mths old. FM these days are filled wif amazing nutrients thxs to medical technology n all. So don't hav to worry wad. Plus it's also more convenient.
"I feel my milk has more hind/fore milk hw to get more fore/hind milk?" (I'm nt sure which is which)
Isn't breast milk jus milk!? What hind n fore milk!? As long as ur baby is growing healthily isn't tt impt?! Worry abt wat milk comes out for wad!!
Parenthood is suppose to be stress free n enjoyable. Do wat u feel is rite cuz thr is no perfect parent. Thr are no perfect solutions to being a parent. U come up wif wat suits u n ur family.
I'm so thankful my family never told me to do this or that or forced me to do things a certain way. If nt I may go mad but even then I wouldn't stress abt it or follow suit. Yes I'm a young mother who has no prior knowledge or even went for any parenting class but parenting is abt learning as u go along as every baby is different! So enjoy parenthood n do wat u wanna do! It's a journey together wif your spouse n baby!
