That's pathetic. Breastfeeding is out because she needs her personal space? What, having a baby inside her wasn't invading her space? David was sure as hell not invading her space when he knocked her up.ForeverGauc01 wrote:It's been mentioned here in the past. I can't remember if she even tried to BF at all. But I do remember her stating that she needed her own personal space and that was her reasoning.

I could have sworn she said that, I need to find the video but I am 99% sure I remember her saying it in a video.OhHiImSam wrote:I'm 98 percent sure I heard it here because V brought it up in a video from before I started watching her.
If I dreamed it and am just creating a rumor, I apologize but I'm pretty damn sure it's been mentioned here in the past.
I agree with you, there's a million reasons women don't breastfeed. Some don't even want to, that's fine. Both of my kids were premature, with my first I tried to express (it took him 2 days to get the hang of sucking) and I had nothing, it was like trying to find water in the Sahara desert. Not a drop. With my second my milk didn't come in at all for 10 days and then it was like 1 drop of colostrum and then just sore boobs. By this point she obviously was on formula or she would of starved to death. This is why I haaaate it when women shame other women for not breastfeeding. Sometimes you just cannot. Sometimes you don't want to. It doesn't matter, we all know breast is best but you also need to do what's right for you and your family.

For example, my first I breastfed maybe a month, I was 17 and uneducated about the benefits, with all the hustle of school and work I bottle fed most of the time without realizing one day she wouldn't wanna take the boob anymore. 2 years ago with my second I really wanted to BF but my milk supply was horrible, I tried everything but just couldn't make enough for my big eater, half boob half formula for 3 months then just formula, it was so disappointing. This time around with my third, it has been so much easier with my girl, definitely BF on demand practically glued to her the first month but so worth it, going on 5 months and have only given her a bottle when I need help during her growth spurts.
Breastfeeding IS HARD, especially the first weeks, I can understand BUT when ur excuse is that you want your personal space from YOUR BABY, YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS PREMIE BABY is so horrible to me. "Madre desnaturalizada" how they say here.

I was the same age as Vanessa when I had my son. I breastfed him, I loved the bond and closeness it brought. If you have "personal boundary issues" towards your own baby, that's pretty damn sad and selfish. Being young has nothing to do with it.gypsophila wrote:Lily did have a feeding tube. Vanessa did pump as long as she could but her supply shut down AND yes, she did say she had some sort of personal boundary issue at first. She was very young and immature. At least she's trying to do things better this time. However, being able to, or choosing to BF does not make one woman any better than any other woman who is unable to, or voluntarily chooses not to BF.
Couldn't the woman just stop eating dairy?? I don't think that's an actual reason to not breastfeed.OhHiImSam wrote:The only reason I brought it up again was because Vanessa's coming out of the woodwork pretending she's some BFing expert when she had such a shitty, immature reason for not continuing with Lily.
I understand sometimes it just doesn't work out, like Britney didn't BF Aria because she was given incorrect (?) information about her nipple being inverted and Aria wouldn't latch to the nipple shield. And a podcaster I listen to couldn't continue because her baby is lactose intolerant and it would make her sick.

Lactose is the sugar in milk (cow and human alike) and breastmilk contains lactose no matter what the mother eats. http://www.cyh.com/HealthTopics/HealthT ... 02&id=1787 But you said "Some don't even want to, and thats fine" and ended with a stab at V for not wanting to. So is it fine if anyone besides V doesn't feel comfortable with BFing at that point in their life?staceybrax wrote:I agree with you, there's a million reasons women don't breastfeed.

But saying you don't want to feed because you need space from your infant is pathetic.

Then theres a chance I will be an asshole parent in your eyes. I don't like the idea of BFing. For some reason it weirds me out. So when I have kids I will try it out. If it becomes too stressful/repulses me then I will stop.blackroses wrote:Some don't want to for many reasons and they don't do it, V was being an asshole because she wanted her personal space, she started and then stopped. If women want their own personal space they won't just start breastfeeding and stop. They probably made a decision beforehand. she literally started, didn't like that she didn't have "personal space" and stopped for her own need not Lily's
