As most people, with your 1st baby you 'go along' with what ever you're told. Then by the 2nd, I believe if you have a brain, you should challenge what you're being 'told' to do. As this is YOUR childs life.....
As a parent one of the best gifts you can give to your child, is to be informed. Dont just say "yes" to what ever a doctor tells you. Inform yourself and if its against what the 'trend' is, be sure to prepare yourself for a fight!
What I cant understand is society completely supports a woman to NOT breastfeed and tippy toe around her 'feelings' when talking about it. But if that lady stops feeding, though being completely able to, then vax's, because "it's what is best"? This tells me we DO NOT know enough about breastfeeding or vaccines!
The decline in breastfeeding and the incline in vaccines.....tell us something??????
Breastmilk is natures vaccine. Once again are we trying to push nature aside and replace it with our 'invention'....
About Me
- Nurturing mummy
- Victoria, Australia
- Single mummy, who believes we should all strive to do our best in educating ourselves in choices we make on our childrens behalfs! Worried about how much the Western society are seperating themselves from what it is to be human. Ignoring what it is to be natural and trusting ourselves, and replacing it with our inventions and thinking we can outsmart nature. This is not the future I want for my children, Annabelle 3yrs and Lucy 1yr. Most of all Im passionate to get back to basics with pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.

Quotes that I love!
"Many Western doctors hold the belief that we can improve everything, even natural childbirth in a healthy woman. This philosophy is the philosophy of people who think it deplorable that they were not consulted at the creation of Eve, because they would have done a better job." Kloosterman 1994
"Treating normal labors as though they were complicated can become a self-fulfilling prophecy." Rooks
"Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are." Augustine
"If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it." John H. Kennell, MD
"The best way to avoid a cesarean is to stay out of the hospital." Brooke Sanders Purves
"There is no scientific evidence that doing over 10 percent of births with a cesarean improves the outcome for the woman or improves the outcome for the baby." Dr. Marsden Wagner
"Only about 15% of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence...This is partly because only 1% of the studies in medical journals are scientifically sound and partly because many treatments have not been assessed at all." Richard Smith, editor of the British Medical Journal

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Every doll comes with a bottle!
Arn't we just setting our girrls up to think wronge!!!! I was in the shops the other day and noticed EVERY baby doll came with a bottle!!!!!
I for one throw them out if a doll is given as a gift with a bottle.......
If we want breastfeeding numbers to rise we must stip this STUPID way of thinking about breasts. They're NOT sexual and we need to start that thinking early!
If a child plays with a doll, that child needs to be taught from a young age where human baby milk comes from. So then its 'normal' and natural to the child as they grow, so hopefully as adults they laugh at the thought of feeding with a bottle!.....
Im scared that boobs as the form of feeding a child is becoming foreign to little girls and 'bottles' are what they see as 'normal'. FFS its scary!
