Nurses, do you do it? If not, why?

FürFür is me the decision, to the best of my ability, to work as a nurse, a nein-brainer been. Even if I to the work to theückkomme, I plan to pump, so that even if the baby won\'t have milk ich\'m physically there.

Prenatal class went LetztesLetztes weekend my husband and I to a \'marathon\' with the hospital. There was fünfzig pair, nearly all first-time parents (who were) and the part of nursing was in the end. The teachers (two nurses) said, thereß each doesn\'t plan, as could go to work nurses. After it Zählte I only fifteen pairs in there! I became really astonished.

Do I understand that many women plan to work according to the baby, but formula only? I think that formula costs much money, therefore I, \'d believes, thereß people know at least about the nursing possibility, wanted.

Would you therefore have remained in the proximity? If of Sie\'wieder the Wählen, to take the trouble, to nurse, how? And if not, the was\'s your reason? ICH\'m really curious.

Additional details

I simply wanted to know why people, esp. first-time mommies, Don, \'t wants even the nursing Möglichkeit explores. I weiß, that it always works out like you doesn\'t, plan you, but I didn\'t jump both exactly during the formula part out because I wanted to know about it \'just in case.\'

Honestly, I grow wearily from those, that say, "It simply is to difficult and I believed that it would be easy." Nothing worthwhile is each easy one. Parenting is not easy. If you wanted easily, you, again from Glück for the next 18+ years.

I nurse my first son, presently 6 months old. We got out at a really rough beginning. He/it didn\'t snaps für the first 5 weeks on to. He/it lost over one pound in the first 3 days therefore. I pumped fünf weeks long every hour and a half, in order to uphold my supply and my keep, that he/it fed. I ließ several people me says, that I was crazy to remain difficult, and that I only should give in and buy formula. No way.

If you look at the facts, nursed, babies have an average of a 6 pt. h

Why would everyone not nurse if they could? Why Ihr disputes child of these benefits. And für those, that don\'t can, gives it to resources from there. There are milk banks dort\'s a milk donation organization, you have a group.

Unfortunately, I pushed on with it many people, who don\'t nurse because of ridiculous reasons. Some schlußfolgert michgehörter \'ve is, that it will bring her/its/their breasts to subsiding, her/its/their husbands/boyfriends/etc. thinks, that it is unrefined, they think that it is inconvenient, and so on sadly It me only, in order to see people, the convenience sooner would have, as the absolutely best, that she/it can, gives to her/its/their baby.

I intend really not to beat somebody, that cannot nurse, because I know that there are some with true supply questions. The matter is, many people believe, thereß she/it supply questions has, if they don\'t make actual. Also, many people arenallen resources, about her/its/their supply too erhöhen, in order to guarantee a big nursing relationship with her/its/their child, more consciously \'t. I really hopes, that more people choose to nurse.

through mac, you take the trouble at the most nursing, but doesn\'t replace any concept for different reasons long. My first certainly was I, thereß I could, breast feeds him/it, but, not to choose to it, finished, I was young, and he/it would not snap on it. I didn\'t have any patience. My second was nursed 1 months long, then, I came to the work theück. My third was and was still nursed. They it almost 9 months. I wünsche, that I had done it so long with all of them. I love it!!! es\'s VERY roughly first. The first month essentially stinks. But if you stick with it, it rewards so, such a binding experience.
Don\'t clap any people, who don\'t choose to nurse. Some kann\'t.
Luck!

I, mommy of 3, with the at the youngest quiet presently,

through lillilou, It can be easy, and it can be difficult, but the rewards are wonderful if you do. Parenting is roughly, and the rewards also are groß.

through doula Breastfeeding!

I went back to work with 4 mos. , pumped one year long with the work and did him/it with Noutlaws and on weekends as a nurse.
The american more medically assoc. encourage "at least one year" and the world health organization "at leases 2 years."
My son was really healthy and had colds only one handful, you smooth while you go home daycare to one every day. He/it never has needed antibiotics, and I believe, thereß is because of this of the antibodies, he/it gets from my milk. Allergies and digestive questions, that are escorted into my family, and I really wanted to do this, which I könnte, in order to reduce his/its risk.

Also is nursing emotionally very mighty. Es\'s an exact binding, snuggly and makes the baby very quiet and glad.

Thinks you go support I, that the key to successful nursing has exact nursing knowledge, to a La Leche-Verband meeting, before the baby comes, you trust lactation, as soon as the baby was born, that your enough body for your baby will do, needs, care stimulates milk production, determination, patience and the credit of support, whether on-line friends (real Lebensfreunde-Familie).

I acknowledge those, that took the trouble and only didn\'t can,... it can be in the few weeks, for many other reasons, that are, challenging very much why is so important to now build your arsenal.

Good for you and your baby!

through thatgirl, I am pregnant 30 weeks and I plan as nursing took the trouble. I want only this, which für my baby and me best is. There are many benefits to nursing only with it, not only the child is to be probably been healthier, my baby weight will help me loosely faster. I, the Ern, plan, to continue heads once, that I, after 6 weeks, go back, to work, this is a big reason, why they do pumps, but I place really auf\'t knows, as everything will go. I admit that I am very much is annoyingös over nursing, I place auf\'t knows, as I feel over lashing it for everything out in order to see. . . but ich\'m that hopes is something this, which I will overpower. Another bonus, one my husband remains to point it out, the fact is, thereß it so much money for formula will save. ICH\'m, that doesn\'t go, to judge those, that wählen, not to live. . . but für me it wasn\'t much of a debate.

through ahill_ho... I is ~ 35 weeks pregnant now with my first and I have a very selective work, but I nevertheless plan to nurse my baby as it, you yearn as possible, hopefully more than 6 months, I wants to give my baby all nutrients and the antibodies, that I can. Also I will save money for formula and will lose my baby weight faster.

Actually, I was in a baby worry class with it yesterday evening ~ 20 pairs. As the teacher, whoever planned to nurse, asked, everyone pulled up her/its/their hand. This made me glad, because I weiß, as it really is of use to the baby. Therefore, it looks at your class like more and more people despite your experience in the other couples, wählt, to take the trouble itself at least and to nurse. :)

The best from luck to you and your small one!

through jenjfros... I wants to nurse. Several Gründe. Outside being the first and best! Binding with the baby, forgetting never or running out of meal für the baby and because it is so good for the baby, s-Entwicklung. I sometimes know only doesn\'t for him/it passed, some babies erwärmen itself not for it, but before patience, I believe that I will be capable to do it.

20 weeks with a girl

through pwrgrlma... i, to nurse with no support of my mother besides fullness of my MIL, chose. although the gov\'t helped me with formula and stuff, breast is the best.

through clapped me up, tried to nurse my daughter, and it was pure HORROR! First was from the whole actual be in the habit of part like torture. It was painful and uncomfortable. I fühlte me very uncomfortable nursing before company, so that I would leave the place to work as nurses (who became very lonesome). schließlich started I to feel me as if I nursed 24/7! das\'s, as I beschloß, that I would begin to pump my breasts. This idea only was worse than nursing! My day was consumed by care and was pumped, Flaschenfütterung, and cleaning and sterilizing of bottles! After almost 2 months of those, I collapsed and told DIESES to SCREW! IchIch, that is broken, open a test can of Enfamil of the hospital and did one bottle. First, I cried, because I me like a failure fühlte, but this passed soon as I recognized that bottle feeding was the correct election for me. I now am #2 with baby pregnant 27 weeks, (boy) and I plan happily to use formula. I could not live again myself this nightmare introduces. The best from Glück to nursing!

21 wks pregnant

through momoftwo, I nursed my chief, exclusively for the first 2 1/2 months and her/it/them ate and won like a champion, and then started to introduce formula. I pumped everything further, and she/it took one bottle quite easily. I closed to the work theück, as she/it was 3 months old. I wasn\'t fähig, to pump with the work, so much as well as I nursed, as I was at home, and by approximately 5 1/2 months, I had fast no milk.
My second daugter was 5 weeks in the course early. I nursed 5 months long. She/it was a großer eaters, but I had a really hard time to put weight on her/it/them. No matter how many I aß, my milk, for which this time makes the trick, wasn\'t. Therefore, I put her/it/them on formula. I pumped with my Mad little, and they went to bottle from nipple and back to nipple with no problems and went to formula without problems of breast milk to breast milk. It is a really persönliche election and people seem here not to have any problem to say, this you a bad mommy is, if you, \'t breast feed, land. I am no one of them! You/they müssen what works for you, does!!!! luck and congratulations!!!!

from Psalm91 yes, I nursed the others in 4. Es\'s definately at the best für baby and mommy.

from Lex, I didn\'t do. My daughter to first was unfähig, as she/it was too small and pumped alone, you don\'t uphold the milk production.

through jensim10... I, to nurse, plans. ICH\'m, that also to the work to theückgehen, and I plan to pump.
I heard, that it can be really difficult for the mother, but I plan as it took the trouble anyway. Hopefully, everything will work out.
I want to nurse because it is good for the baby. Also, because it will save money, and hopefully it will help me faster to decrease.
Be successful to you!!!

from Dolyn, my mother never did with none of her/its/their 4 children, and this were the 70 and 80. She/it said, thereß she/it only not to her/its/their children wanted flirted, she/it had to be capable, she/it if to give necessary to other people away and is not worried therefore, breast milk, to pump the whole time. I place auf\'t, she/it accuses at all. Wir\'wieder all completely healthy and glad. If I a child hätte, not that ich\'m that goes to it would not become I any breast feed either.

from Mary D Wait, until you arrive there. It is not so easy as they make it healthy. You/they hören only from the large parts of it, and she/it really is dont beyond it before herself how it can be really heavy.

I gave a try to all 3 of my children. My areola is für my babies too big, in order to get enough, to bring it to the job. My 3. had lost over one pound in 4 days, thats, as I went to formula. I also tried pumping, but the milk only wouldnt comes.

Don\'t judge others until you know which went others through it. ICH\'m certainly think you, thereß you a perfect mommy will be, maybe you will be, but not each woman is they for resembling.
