I just had to put this out here and I guess have my time for once to rant. I was going throught the questions and saw some person put this...
Your question "Do we as adults and parents have no self control?" is a pretty broad one but the answer is Yes, many of us do have self control. The adults and parents which no self control more than likely are not breastfeeding
How crazy is that bull. Makes me mad. Some women have medical issues and some women have a low milk supply. Then their are preemies and babies that have a hard time latching on. Don't think that I'm mad because I formula feed, I breastfeed. It was just an ignorant comment to make.

OMG it was your post and it's not the point it was an ignorant statement. I read the entire thing and though omg what kind of a response was that for an ending. They are the ones with no self control. Oh well. It's my question now and I can rant about what I see fit.

I have to agree with you- I call them "breast Nazi's"... I suppose they think that because they breastfeed then everyone else should as well, regardless of the circumstances.
My daughter has a 'split tongue' (the tip is slightly split in two- she's not tongue tied, but it's this weird genetic thing from her dad) and it was impossible for her to manipulate her tongue to properly latch on. You'd think I was feeding her poison, with some of the reactions I got for having to bottle-feed her.
I think people should be open minded enough to realize that each person is different, as is their situations, so why not just respect that and appreciate each person for trying to take care of their child as best as they can.

I completely agree. It is very easy to judge someone when you haven't been in their shoes.
It goes without saying that of breast milk is best for a baby, but there is no need to make a person feel like an inferior parent just because they didn't breast feed. There could be a million reasons why they didn't and its not my place to judge or make assumptions about them or their children. We all parent differently, no one way is particularily better or worse, just different

OMG, that was my statement and I only meant the adults and parents who have no self control with regards to alcohol. The question was about a self check breast milk test that tests alcohol levels in your milk.
I am the world's biggest believer in breast feeding but I know that there are so many factors that stand in the way of it. First of all, a woman has to have a calm place (in her mind, in her home, in her life) and her body has to co-operate. I was so blessed because all of the outside factors were positive for me and breastfeeding came easily to me for both of my sons. I know women who love their children every bit as much as I love mine who were unable to breast feed for very real reasons. They were in no way selfish or lacking in self control.
You really should read comments in relations to the post that they are answering and not just pull out a part of it and read something into it that isn't there.

i agree. I tryed but it just didnt work. I had a very odd experance trying.
First my milk wouldnt drop, when it finaly did it hurt so bad. They thought it may be an infection but it wasnt. Then one dryed up, Then filled back up and the other dryed up. I was having to give formula because i was not making enough.
After about a month the pain and frusteration got to me and i gave up.

i agree with you. i had to stop breastfeeding my daughter after 1 month, because she stopped latching on and would only take a bottle. breastfeeding doesn't solely rely on the self control of the parents, in some cases it mostly depends on whether or not the baby will cooperate.

lol fairly a cogent commentary. One is obviously continuously controlled via self. What we advise via self administration is the flexibility to rationally override an emotional determination we've logically concluded is undesirable or irrelevant. So your 'wager' interior of reason precise. One element of your self is controlling the different. might desire to a guy make like to his spouse. definitely. might desire to he do it in the food market simply by fact she looked so sexy whilst she bent over to %. up a container of cereal? No. He might desire to have a sprint self administration.

Thank you for saying this because I my self am one of those who has medical issues because I have seizures and allot of people asked me why I'm not breastfeeding and I had to tell them because of the medicine that I'm on.
So thank you very much it's nice to know that there are people out there who can understand.

I totally agree..I do think we should stop making women feel guilty for not breastfeeding.. I do agree though that it is healthiest for the baby, but that's only one aspect of baby care.
