Breast Fed is Best Fed

I've learned so much about the error of my ways from posting and reading on my Bargain Hunters Board (a message board). I learned that I spelled my LLM's name wrong. I learned that toe nail polish on little girls is tacky. I learned that ear piercing is also very trashy. Juice drinks, McDonalds, Wal Mart, and bikini's on little girls... trashy.

Occasionally a good topic will crop up on the Bargain Hunters Board regarding Breast Feeding babies being smarter than babies who are fed Formula (among other BF/FF debates). Often, there is a nice article to go along with, and people on the BHB will get all worked up over it. It's good times, really, to sit back and read the drama and debate unfold.

Today there was such a thread about this topic.

Since Breast Fed babies turn out to have a higher IQ than babies who are Formula Fed babies I have come to a conclusion. I want my LM's to have the best possible chance in life. I can't believe I was such an irresponsible mother to have Formula Fed my babies. Where was my head?

I've decided to start lactating again. Once my mammary glads are full of milk, I'm going to nurse my girls. Simultaneously even. I will probably have to quit my job in order to Exclusively Breast Feed my 5 year old and my Almost 2 year old. It's going to take some commitment from me, but if I was a really good mom in the first place I would have Breast Fed them from the beginning. I will nurse Chandler until she's 8 and Kennedi until she is 5.

That's a good plan, right?

i love those arguments.

i challenge ANY of those moron boob nazis to an intelligence contest between their stupid child and my amazingly brilliant, exclusively bottle fed boy.

without formula, both of my sons would have starved to death. end of story.

boob nazis can bite me.

LMAO! That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time....don't you just love them...those Nazi's can kiss my tail too...I can positively 100% say that they must not have had problems with their children nursing because they wouldn't think that way about people...it drives me NUTS! I was formula fed and I'm NOT an idiot..thank you very much!! Ok..stepping down off my soap box...hey I've thought about re-lactating too....my thought was maybe it would help me lose a few pounds, lol!

Oh...and we must be pure trash at this house because we do 5 out of the 6 things listed as trashy...

It would only be right if you did it while having intercourse, too. Otherwise it is not bargain board material.

How does this fit in with the sister wife plan though? Will you breastfeed BK and LK too? That would be a lot of milk!

Ew-if you lactate for the Ashleys, too, you'll surely be dehydrated and tired.
Although the phentermine and booze may keep you jacked up enough to accomplish it.

You're a Kook and I Love ya.

I have to say that I didn't BF my son but did with my daugher and it is a CROCK of CRAP. You do what is best for your FAMILY and YOU or else you'll go crazy...if you aren't that way already. It is such a hot topic and I hope that you'll give the cows a chance and give the lactation situation a rest! :)

I've not been able to lacate today. I think my stress level at work is preventing my milk from coming in. We did sit down to a simultanious nursing session for dinner tonight, but Kennedi bit me. Thankfully it was on the shoulder not the boob. Maybe I'll wake up with my milk tomorrow.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
