Re: Childcare centres and breastfeeding
The first time DD was left was with a family member when she was about 4 months old. The little boy in the house was sitting with her and she started crying when his mum went to the loo. He got it out and gave it to her from the fridge. She drank it cold, even held it herself, and she'd never had milk from any source other than the breast before so we were all impressed lol. It was breast milk still she was given. After that it was just given to her cold from a cup. She wouldn't drink it even at room temp which is weird because she got it at room temp when she got it straight from the source. I've looked after bf babies heaps, even when they haven't been left with expressed milk to feed them they can still be held in the same way and communicated with in the same way even if you're not the one with the right boobs to feed them! How rediculous is that. As if you use only feeds to comfort a baby! If that was the case, there would be far more obese kids from being a bottle every time they made a sound to indicate they were upset. Bottles aren't used to comfort every time, neither are breasts.
