So many mamas have similar stories, and I'm one of them too.
My 99 was also against breastfeeding ever since I was pregnant.
After my BB was born, she was still like that. She always thought that BB didn't have enough to eat by taking in breastmilk alone. I was very depressed at that time coz' it was very hard to manage breastfeeding. I needed support! Not criticism. Fortunately, my husband understood me.
pc9 is right - 99s are very jealous. They worry that BBs only stick to their mamas and ignore them.
Anyways, I try my best to pretend that my 99 is "singing", and I'll remain happy as much as I can.
Because: happy mama --> happy milk + more milk --> happy baby!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I suggest you:
1) To tell your 99 that formula milk has all sorts of preservatives, artificial flavourings and chemicals.
2) Don't keep any formula milk at home. Just use expressed breastmilk so she has no choice!
I am so sad to hear your condition. No mama milk was feeded, but baby drank formula during daytime.
Whether you do not store formula at grandparent's home, so that they may feed baby for mama milk.
Besides, give some information/pamphlet of breastfeeding's advantages to them for changing their wrong mind??
Anyway, I know it is difficult, but please don't give up.
Keep on direct breastfeeding at early morning and at night. It is good for baby's health!!
Add oil! I support you ar!!!!!!
