If the doctor says the child needs formula, and there is none in shops, can it be prescribed for a baby who may have malnutrition?If anytime is a time to decide to stop breast feeding now is not it. Shops are running out of formula because of corona virus and the little evidence that they have from this new virus shows that if you're breast feeding you make the antibodies for the virus for your baby so I can totally understand her continuing to breast feed. This seems the easiest option over rugby tackling a mom bulk buying formula
As far as I'm aware Dr's only prescribe formula for underlying medical issues e.g lactose intolerant babies. So I have no idea how people are to manage if they formula feed given that shelves are being cleared of supplies. As they are pretty much all the same despite being branded differently people need to just buy what is available for them dependent on age of baby.If the doctor says the child needs formula, and there is none in shops, can it be prescribed for a baby who may have malnutrition?
That's disgusting, surprised she hasn't asked Jim to do itShe is so obsessed with being a breast feeder I can’t see her ever offering formula! It’s literally her whole identity!
litrally so obsessed she’s considering her daughter sucking to relieve the blocked milk ductthe poor child
I think she and Jim are to the point of having a food obsession and certainly give Vesper massively too big portions and have given her a habit of constantly grazing on food and overeating. She is a lovely little girl but in my view she is already overweight and will continue to be a child that suffers with overeating and weight issues, through no fault of her own. I think that Mum places so much emphasis on food and feeding in general that breastfeeding is more important to her that it might be to others? She places a disproportionately big value on it in my opinion. When she said she was considering letting Vesper latch on just to increase her milk supply I felt that she is venturing into weird territory.Tbf, I think it’s each to their own with breastfeeding/formula. I had friends who struggled at the start and went way beyond what I would have bothered with - maybe it’s to do with the oxytocin rush that you get when feeding that becomes addictive?!
Then she should speak to a medical professional or a health visitor instead of slapping her tits in our facesMuch as I dislike her, I’ve watched breastfeeding mums at the hospital in bits because of the guilt they feel for being unable to feed their child naturally. Telling a breastfeeding mother “oh just formula feed” isn’t helpful.
She can tone down what she shares, but I wouldn’t slam her for feeding her kid in any way. She needs support there. So maybe that’s why she’s oversharing it?
She should definitely speak to a doctor. I’m thinking she’s doing this to get help from other mothers?Then she should speak to a medical professional or a health visitor instead of slapping her tits in our faces
She seems dead set against formula.I wouldn’t slate anybody for how they feed their child...what I do slate her for is the holier than thou attitude to parenting. When she had Vesper, all she did was preach about what she was doing & how it was so easy & her way was the best way. So for someone like me who struggled to breastfeed, I switched to formula (my own choice, even went against midwife/health visitor!), it can maybe make you feel like you are failing your child in a way? If that makes sense? As I said...fed is best, weather that’s formula fed or breast fed
This is 100% how I feel too! Feed your child whichever way you want but don’t act like a martyr because of it!I wouldn’t slate anybody for how they feed their child...what I do slate her for is the holier than thou attitude to parenting.

I personally think he looks like a shrinking babyPoor Herbie must be starving
He had the same big hammy hamster cheeks as his sister did when he was born, and they’ve disappeared in the recent picsI personally think he looks like a shrinking baby
