Meanwhile, I'm becoming increasingly disappointed about my MG ladies all giving up bfing in favour of FF, for the sole reason of wanting their bubs to sleep through the night I find this very demoralising, and suddenly I'm the "hippie" who exclusively breastfeeds and wears her baby. What's saddest about this is that we live in a very "yuppy" inner suburb of Melbourne, and all the ladies in my MG are University-educated, highly intelligent women. Somehow the memo on the benefits of bfing passed them by
I have been pleasantly surprised by the majority of my MG ladies who continue to breastfeed. This is in a semi-rural area, many of the women are intelligent but i think have low education. They definitely understand the benefits in BFing.
