He said that most American mothers breastfeed only 3-6 months, because after that time breastmilk becomes less beneficial for babies. I was mortified by such ignorance! I am breastfeeding my 9 months old baby and enjoying it enormously! I am going to do it as long as she is willing to suck. Yahoo answers were most helpful in educating me how good and useful breastmilk was and were one of the reasons why I toughened it out and continued to breastfeed after initial struggle.

I think this is because those physicians haven't been educating themselves on the new findings and benefits of breast feeding. Breastfeeding benefits that mothers should double check for themselves b/c my memory probably isn't entirely correct: faster return to prepregnancy weight, sIgA and IgG (immunoglobulin G) immunoprotection, better balance of carbs and necessary proteins, has lactoferrin - better absorption of iron, bacteriostatic proteins, less need to supplement with other vitamins such as iron, mother and child contact (how much of the CNS/PNS development of the child is due to mother stimulation through contact not quantified or verified) there are a few more added benefits, but I can't remember them off the top of my head. But plz, BREASTFEED! For the sake of the health of your precious child! <a href=""></a> wow i saw the responses and was immediately taken aback. we are currently being taught in medical school the utmost need for breast feeding, and there are physicians out there who aren’t pushing the facts and urging mothers to breast feed, or at least pump milk?

I recall that it wasn't addressed by the first doctor I had, as I was only in my 1st trimester. The second one did once, I think. The third one I had did mention it, but there was no real discussion. I have to say that the one who mentioned it the most was my son's doctor. He was fond of saying "breast is best" every time the little guy went in to see him. I had equal reasons to choose either breast or bottle, since I worked a service job with little breaks I could take for pumping breast milk. The thing that best won me over to breast milk, besides all the health benefits for my son, was that it uses more calories. Baby fat belongs on my baby, not on me! I was more than happy to transfer that to him. Also, since ALL women's breasts become engorged and stretched out after birth, I knew that I wasn't going to lose my shapely bust more or less either way. I learned most of the bottle/breast facts from my own research, and I wish that didn't have to be the case. I think, at the very least, doctors could give out a simple pamphlet listing the pros/cons of both. <a href=""></a> I moved to a different state twice during my pregnancy, and therefore had three ob/gyns during pregnancy!

We'll never have one payer health care because even Obama is in the pockets of the health care industry. The biggest industry in the US is insurance. The second biggest is marijuana. I think the weed lobby isn't doing it's part! It doesn’t matter who’s in office. We’ll never have one payer health care because even Obama is in the pockets of the health care industry.
