I guess I was only looking at the belief about the benefits not really acknowledging the feelings behind the comment. <br /><br />Your right, everyone has a different story/reason for why the chose to breastfeed and how long and it isn't right for anyone to dictate to someone when/how long and for what reasons they chose to breastfeed or not. <br /><br />Hope I didn't offend.pchannerhttp://amomsfreshstart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-88938616886254896972010-05-03T01:01:59.105-04:002010-05-03T01:01:59.105-04:00Hey Kate, thanks so much for your feedback.

Hi Pchanner. I think it...Thanks Marlie and Diana. <br /><br />Hi Pchanner. I think it's great you are nursing your baby. And, my hat goes off to you for choosing to nurse for 2 years! Medical research does prove that nursing baby is best. To answer your question, this doctor was very offensive to me for several reasons: <br /><br />1.) Ignorance: there is nothing saying that if I had nursed my baby 6 more weeks he would have still not gotten the ear infection. Babies who are bottle fed and who are nursed both can get ear infections. So I felt offended that the doctor would blame me for the ear infection. <br /><br />2.) Insensitivity: when a mother takes a sick child to get cared for that is not the appropriate time to be blaming whomever on why the child got sick in the first place. Most mothers are stressed when baby is sick, so the doctor shouldn't make it worse by pointing a finger especially if there is nothing a mother can do to change the fact that she stopped nursing months ago.<br /> <br />3.) Presumption: This is not my normal pediatrician that I have a history with who knows my background. This doctor, an urgent care doctor, knows nothing about me. It is arrogant to tell a mother that she should have nursed for x duration of time because this doctor doesn't know my extenuating circumstances. Does this doctor know that I happened to have an emergency appendectomy and had to pump milk in the hospital, was not allowed post surgery to lift my baby for 4 weeks and it caused a lowered milk supply, and I still fought through that and continued nursing for months. Yet, by 10 months, many teeth marks later, and attempting to nurse almost 1YO while caring for a very active 2YO, I made a decision of what I felt was best for my family. I feel GOOD about my decision to stop nursing at 10 months. If I could have made it to 12, I would have. But, my body going straight from being pregnant with baby 1 to nursing baby 1 to pregnant with baby 2 to nursing baby 2--my body couldn't take it. In addition, I have friends who had to completely stop nursing at 10 months because their milk supply completely dried up. I have another friend who wanted desperately to nurse and tried for the first two weeks in complete agony, but her body never produced milk period. Point is, a doctor should not presume that all women have an easy choice or the choice at all to either nurse or not nurse or stop nursing. Nursing is a personal choice. And there are many factors that go into making this decision. It is one to take seriously. It a wonderful decision to make WHEN you have a choice. Nevertheless, it is also a personal choice. It is not the doctor's place to tell me I should have nursed 6 weeks longer especially AFTER the fact. And it is not the doctor's place to blame a mother, who did nurse her baby for 10 months, for causing the baby's ear infection, when ear infections happen in both nursed and bottle fed babies.<br /><br />I hope this explains a little more on why I was offended. I am in support of nursing. But I'm also in support of mommies, whether they can or can't nurse. I do appreciate doctors and urgent care doctors--they've come to my rescue many times. I just was completely taken off guard when a doctor whom i came to for help, began the diagnosis with criticism, judgment, and arrogance. Not to mention, a wrong diagnosis that you will have to come back soon to see the rest of the story on that. <br /><br />Hope you'll be back and bring your opinions with you : ) <br /><br />Thanks again! <br />LauraMelodramommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808514174221430781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-39742021310266984482010-05-03T00:34:33.339-04:002010-05-03T00:34:33.339-04:00And don't forget: breastfeeding makes you supe...And don't forget: breastfeeding makes you super skinny!

The United States med groups say that anything past 6 months is considered a success. So it's really all up to the mother & the choices that are best for the family. When I was a baby I weaned myself naturally at 9 months, I would have nothing to do with the chi-chis after that! But my little bros took longer to wean (up to 13 months)-it just all depends on the child too!<br /><br />Laura-This is all soooo true! Baby has 6 teeth & I'm miserable. He's at a stage now where he's biting me b/c he thinks it's funny. I however do not think it's funny! It hurts sooo bad! The doctor shouldn't have blamed you for the ear infection, it's not your fault. Besides, Baby had chronic ear infections from 3-6 months, almost had to have tubes, & he's only ever been breastfed. I was breastfed & had to have tubes in my ears. There are different kinds of ear infections & breastfeeding only gets rid of one kind!<br /><br />I'm so glad that I'm almost done with breastfeeding! One more month!!!Kate Pantier @ Mommy Monologueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623139370297933987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-17001156766912345532010-05-02T11:08:23.537-04:002010-05-02T11:08:23.537-04:00I am sorry you had a bad experience.

One of the many reasons I don't intend on stopping until he is at least two years old is because the tremendous amounts of benefits it has for the both of us, including the prevention (or lowered risk of) ear infections. So I am confused as to why what the doctor said was wrong? I don't mean to be insensitive, I just hope I haven't been putting my trust in a statement that isn't true.pchannerhttp://amomsfreshstart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-82077397705747034702010-05-01T08:55:55.273-04:002010-05-01T08:55:55.273-04:00First of all, I can not believe the Dr said that t...First of all, I can not believe the Dr said that to you.
