lali, i thought it was directed at me as a previous poster to you had quoted my response. sorry if it wasn't. as for my use of capitals... it was only for emphasis (and it was only one word) certainly not meant to be rude or yelling. sorry if it was interpreted that way.

Hi rnih mommy, do you have enough supply for your lil one now? I'm a SAHM and have been breastfeeding my 4mo LO directly, do let me know if you need extra breast milk. I can try to pump and establish if i have enough supply, won't be lot...but certainly can spare bout 4-5oz a day. So far, i've only been pumping during weekends as its not very convenient to nurse my baby when we are out. Do drop me a PM if you need extra bm. All the best and don't give up on bfeeding, like you i strongly believe its the best for our LO!

Hi rnih, i am exclusively pumping and have quite a bit of june/july stock piling up in our tiny freezer. Do you still need extra BM?

I had no breast milk too and I had to accept to feed my baby with formula...do not worry about that, it is a good alternative and your baby will be good, but do not insist on breast feeding: babies need to be fed and grow up properly, so my suggestion is to buy formula as soon as possible and give to your baby. Further, at this age, 4 / 5 months you can start with fruit cream, rice cream, vegetables cream and I suggest you to try!

i think you misunderstood her. while, i think, all of us would agree that "breast is best", it just doesn't work for some people. my sister-in-law tried and tried and tried, and then eventually had no choice but to turn to formula. her baby was starving. she was in canada and had all the "right" advice. but it just didn't work for her. she beat herself up for it for quite a while. when #2 came along, she was so traumatised by her experiences with #1, she didn't even try with #2.
while it is ok to encourage women to breastfeed as much as possible (and a milk bank is a great idea!), i don't think that women should feel like they are "wrong" if they choose to formula feed.
we all do what we think is in the best interest of our children. something that is often forgotten (i'm guilty of it, too, sometimes)
