4 months old feeding question 4995

Please don't be judgemental when formula is mentioned. There are those of us who cannot physically bf. I know a lot of you are saying "Yeah Right" right about now, but you can check my previous post to see my whole story. I worked with 3 different LCs, used the huge Medula pumps every 3 hours, and this last birth even tried the Rx (something starting with an R). After 2 weeks even the LC's told me to go to formula when DD kept losing weight (same result with my previous attempt). I cried for the first couple of bottles but I did pump for the next 2 months adding in my little half an ounce (after 20 minutes of pumping on each side) to each one. I still enjoy reading this group b-c there are good threads. I'm looking into starting solids in the next couple of weeks (DD is 5 months old) and came across this thread (I think that is another misconception. Just b-c she is on formula does not mean I jumped on the solids track at 4 months). Yes I to do not understand why more women do not bf. I would give anything to. I went as far to upset myself saying if we were pre-formula days my girls would have starved.

Yes I do agree that this post did not belong in a BF group but I applaud those that offered thier support anyhow. Aren't we all parents? It still takes a village to raise a child. Since most don't have a village for support, groups are the next best thing.
