Moms who feed babies with a mixture won't know what it islactostasis. They can wear beautiful underwear and can go about their business at any time. But, despite these advantages, they are still envious of nursing mothers.
You can argue about which is better - GW or IW, endlessly. But the following arguments definitely fall into the piggy bank of the advantages of nursing mothers.
1. They do not need to pick up a mixture
How to feed a baby? Sour-milk, hypoallergenic, lactose-free, in goat's milk, with prebiotics ... The choice of mixtures is simply huge. Or maybe try the mixture that is given in the dairy kitchen? Nursing mothers will never face such a problem. All they have to decide is with which breasts to start feeding, right or left. And no advice from the pediatrician on the choice of mixtures.
2. Nobody condemns them
Feed the mixture? Bad mother! Do not breast-feed - not a mother! You would even think about a child before stuffing it with incomprehensible powders - it is still unknown what their composition is! And for you, only a figure is important!
For some reason, the issue of feeding a child is of interest to everyone around. And if the mother feeds the baby with the mixture, then it automatically becomes wrong in the eyes of doctors, grandmothers and mother-in-law.
3. They do not spend a lot of money
Bottles, nipples, infant formulas - every mom on IV knows that all this is very expensive. But you still need sterilizers, heaters and thermoses for bottles. While nursing mothers can only spend money on a nursing bra and lactation tea. What a saving!
4. They always have milk ready ...
And they don’t know what it feels like: to entertain the child at the same time, warm the water to the right temperature, measure the mixture with spoons, mix everything in the bottle and be calm like a tank. Especially at night.
5. ... and a universal sedative
Hit, scared of a loud sound, dissatisfied with something, or just a bad mood? A nursing mother knows a reliable way to help. Does the child sleep poorly or is there a long flight ahead on the plane? And here the nursing mother has a simple solution. Even the store on the couch cannot be compared with the multifunctionality of what a nursing mother is ready to provide.
6. They can be photographed with a beautiful neckline
Small but nice bonus. Although, it’s not so small, but quite a full-fledged third size, which mothers on IW can only dream of.
7. They have an incentive to monitor their diet.
Is it possible to deny yourself something sweet in the evening, when all things have been redone and the child is put to bed? You can, if we are talking about a nursing mother, who is faced with a difficult choice between an apple, buckwheat and boiled turkey.
8. They may not bother feeding up to six months
Cauliflower or buckwheat porridge? Kefir or juice? These questions arise before nursing mothers, when the child is 6 months old. Moms on IV have to think about complementary foods earlier - already in 3-4 months. And by the way, do you know how much a jar of homogenized bio-zucchini puree costs!
9. They can’t be unnerved
Nervous - lost milk. Can a mother who breastfeeds be brought to tears? Offend, do not give rest, eat normally and sleep? And if such a thing happens, she can always say compassionately: “Little Tear cried midnight today, poor thing ... There is not enough milk, you didn’t need to talk like that to me yesterday!”
10. They can be capricious
Because lactation affects such important processes as: memory, thinking, imagination and thinking, and there is no escape from this. Of course, the phrases about “milk in the head” hurt. But lactation can always be attributed to all the vagaries and mood swings, as a premenstrual syndrome, which is not yet available.
PS And they put a break on feeding
And it is legislative. If the nursing mother works, then every three hours she can take a break for feeding, which lasts at least half an hour.
