Re: Mothers not breastfeeding their kids
Bella88 you have a very good point - that stumped me … I think however that wanting to have pain relief in its forms differs based on the benefits to the baby. There are noticeable benefits that baby has through natural birth - and some of them include better lactation than their C-section counterparts …

Any form of pain relief during the delivery will affect the baby somehow … some are temporary and others might be less temporary … Breast milk is good for the antibodies in the baby … formula just cannot compete on that level.
I think there is a play off between the amount of pain one can bear and the level of benefit the child will get without that pain relief … However, many women are not made aware of the pros and cons of taking pain relief … Admittedly birth is a scary moment and women are entitled to all the comfort they need. I just think there are a very few women - who want it to be like a walk in the park.
