I was 15 when I had my son and I tried breastfeeding, but he had bad jaundice when he was born so we had to supplement, and he has trouble latching after that. I pumped for about a month.

Quoting Kristin&&Ava:“ i've been wanting to ask this question also... atleast where i live, none of the teen/young moms BF. ... [snip!] ... BF. and when it's brought up that i do, usually, they ask me "WHY??!?! shes wayyy to old!" my daughter is 10 months..... ”

Yah.. I always get the "how long are you doing that"..

 

Quoting Morning Wood [ebfb]:“ Just wondering. I dont see many teens bfing.”

I was 17 when my daughter was born i EF then had to switch to FF due to complications.

i as 19, i pumped for my daughter for as long as i could. she is now formula fed

Quoting Morning Wood [ebfb]:“ Yah.. I always get the "how long are you doing that"..  ”

one of my friends asked me "why are you doing that to your nipples? they're going to turn out sideways!"

i BF my son to 18 months, i ignored all those ignorant comments!

Quoting The Original Mama Bear:“ Nurse on demand, drink mothers milk tea or take fenugreek!  ”

Where do you get it?

Quoting Morning Wood [ebfb]:“ Just wondering. I dont see many teens bfing.”

I FF. It was a personal choice. I go to college full time and have a job full time. I know people may not like that I formula feed but it's my choice and my daughter. 

About 10 people i know my age has had babies & I'm the only one who still breastfeeds and they look at me funny.

....ignorance at it's finest  

Some people just have no clue what they're talking about lol

yeah I had dom when I was 18 and EBF.. he was 21 months old when we stopped

Quoting A Girl=11:07:09:“ I BF! Any recommendations to produce more breast milk?”

Try Fenugreek, You can get it at health food stores like whole foods...
When I had to bump up my supply because my LO was in the hospital for 2 weeks, I took 1 620mg capsule with a glass of water at each meal so you would take 3 a day. With in a couple days my milk had picked up and by the end of the week I didn't need to take anymore...

Once you have a supply that you are happy with you should stop taking them. And only take them again if your supply needs bumping again.

Good luck!


I was 16 when I had my 1st and I BF'ed till he was 1

Quoting A Girl=11:07:09:“ Where do you get it?”

GNC for the fenugreek. Its 14 dollars for a bottle of 300

Quoting Baby Emma Noelle's Mommy:“ I FF. It was a personal choice. I go to college full time and have a job full time. I know people may not like that I formula feed but it's my choice and my daughter. ”

Honestly, I have never understood why women care how other women feed their babies......just weird to me lol
