Awful, just awful.

Isn’t making the trip to a LC enough to prove you are serious?? Afterall, opening a can of formula in your own house would be easier.

I hope the person that submitted this story was able to find help and be successful.

That’s ridiculous. I hope the mom got better help and is still at it. That is not the kind of “support” we need.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. You nailed it Kristen. What we need is more LCs who are SERIOUS about providing real help to women who are struggling and exhausted and confused. Not more people blaming the mother for problems she didn’t ask for or cause.

I think breastfeeding a tongue tied newborn over a cesarean incision with cracked and bleeding nipples qualifies you as being serious about breastfeeding. I know, because I did just that. I hope the mom in this story was able to find an LC that was actually serious about helping mothers to breastfeed.

I had a tongue tied one too and it was hell until he was clipped I got NO help from the hospital LC and one kind older nurse is what got me through it!

There are some comments that make me so angry I just can’t say anything. This is one.

And this is why I am SOOOO picky about LCs.
