Whoa. I have everything in that picture besides a cut-in-half squid.

Butterfly in the sky.... I can go twice as high....

I go from Western MD to Chantilly daily, taking the usual suspects and sometimes the unusual backroads. I don't use a radar detector in VA, but the WAZE app has proven to be absolutely valuable EVERY SINGLE DRIVE. Those guys HIDE on the Greenway. WAZE drivers find them every single time. I usually make it from…

Everyone knows a dutiful wife should always cut up her husband's meat and pre-chew his tube grubs.

I find it refreshing. As a mother to be in 2015 (watch out Vagina January is coming to get you and tear you open) reading the non glamorous aspect of pregnancy is great. I have had so many people try to tell me I need to 'enjoy my pregnancy' and how I should feel about my changing body. I say bullshit. I'm looking…

Miss Piggy and Kermit done it better

I wish I could tell you this never happened. I had a parent literally consent to an IV (which is not always the easiest of procedure in a dehydrated newborn) rather than give formula. I was SEETHING, but she was going through a really rough time, and it just wasn't worth the battle. I got lucky on that IV, thank…

Thank you for being a pediatrician who tells mothers formula is okay. I had a cousin who refused to do anything but breastfeed. It got to a point where her 2 month old baby was 5 lbs (8 at birth), was not gaining weight, and looked like skin and bones. My very calm father was about one more "I will solely breastfeed"…

Pumping SUUUUUCKS. I hardly got any milk, and I went through three hospital-grade pumps (which is why I fight the urge to smack anyone who says breastfeeding is "free"), it didn't keep my supply up, it was uncomfortable, I had to wash all that shit constantly... ugh. I actually enjoyed breastfeeding, but you know what…

YES! Pumping was a nightmare! We tried for months to get my son to latch because everyone had told me that was best for the baby. He never did and I ended up pumping for four months! I had Mastitis 3 times then I finally said fuck this shit and got formula. It's awful how other women make you feel guilty about not…

Right there with you. My kiddo never ever managed to establish a latch, and after pumping a feeding a kid with extremely poor suck reflex (2 out of every 3 hours was devoted to feeding) for 2 weeks, I called my husband and said 'I want to feel like a mom, not a cow. Pick up formula on your way home."

YES! Pumping is crazy hard. I didn't have a supply issue, but that's because I was pumping 8-10 times a day and had a little oversupply. I was so stressed out though. It was like: warm bottle, feed, change, burp, get to fall asleep, try to quickly (hahahaha!) pump while noodle is sleeping, oh shit she woke up, now I…

Pumping is a bear. When people suggest to a woman who is struggling with breastfeeding "Well, you can just pump," I fight the urge to massively eye roll (not a professional move). I've met few mothers who can maintain supply via pumping, and I mean, great for them, but pumping can be kind of a nightmare. Pretending…

Thank you! And Peds like you! One of the reasons I didn't feel so bad about giving up exclusive pumping (we never got the latch thing down, EVER) is because my wonderful pediatrician told me that no matter what I fed my baby, she would be a happy, healthy baby. I still felt extreme mommy guilt right after I gave it…

YAY!!!

This is very distressing news. Shaming formula feeding moms is my primary source for validating my choice to breast feed and causing stress and guilt for new mothers with my harsh judgements.

There are (raffey above). That said, you can breastfeed and still share feeding responsibilities (either with pumped breastmilk or combo feeding with breastmilk AND formula. I did both.)

I'm sure that breast milk is healthier just like whole foods are healthier than processed, but I am also glad to see some balance. I have been watching a friend go through hell with her new baby because of breast feeding problems. She wasn't producing enough and her baby couldn't latch. Even the la leche ladies were…
