Re: Mothers not breastfeeding their kids
how are you doing so? in your previous post all you’ve done is post a few articles on how some women are too posh to push and then you’ve done the same for c-sections and how they can interfere with nursing. you’re generalizing, and you have been doing so since this thread started. you’ve decided if women CHOOSE to exercise their parenting rights and rights over their bodies and don’t nurse or don’t want to give birth vaginally, then they are selfish and want it to be like “a walk in the park.” meanwhile, as i and other have said, you’re not qualified to judge this. you’re just not. no one is other than the mother herself and her partner.
as for personal examples, of course you have no idea! again, this is why you are making the assumptions you are, and choosing to believe that women tend to make these choices because they are “uninformed” of the consequences rather than accepting that these women ARE informed, and WANT it this way and that is OK too. it’s why i posted my own example to illustrate this to you. i’ve done the research, i’ve read the articles, i’ve spoken to the qualified doctors and nurses in my life, and i’ve CHOSEN to have a second c-section because it is what makes sense for me, whether or not it makes sense to you or medically or whomever else, matters not to either myself or my husband. as far as i know, this is how all women decide how to give birth. no one i know is just sitting around waiting for their water to break with no idea of what happens next and what their choices are, nor are they concerned with what others will think if they find out they had a c-section by choice or chose to formula feed because it is more convenient for them. and yes, nursing IS about convenience too, not just about giving your child the best because as with most parenting, is it NEVER black and white, and no, that doesn’t make you selfish.
