@meredithbat3s ** sorry it is spelled wrong on the video!!
My sister Meredith Bates is a nurse and a mother of 2. She recently had her son Jack at 31 weeks. He was in the NICU for 61 days. Her daughter Loewy (pronounced “Low- ee”) is 5 years old. Loewy was breastfed for 2.5 years. Meredith was told she would stop breastfeeding when she was ready but she never showed signs of being ready. One day Meredith stopped nursing her and that was the first night she slept through the night on her own. Meredith had hoped to breastfeed Jack too but due to health complications the breast milk was going into his lungs. He was formula fed and Meredith was pumping for months. She got mastitis multiple times, was exhausted, had emergency surgery due to an IUD complication (see my last video) and was told that Jack likely wouldn’t be able to breastfeed until he was around 6 months old. By that time Meredith would be back to work and Jack would have to learn breastfeeding from scratch. Watch this video to find out what she did and why. Also … we know fed is best .. but the shame and disappointment are still real. If you’re a formula feeding parent be encouraged that you’re doing great. Feed your baby, love your baby, and take care of yourself. You’re a very good mom. (Or dad 😉)
