i understand where u'r coming from. in fact, it's agreeable that it's definitely overwhelmening every single moment u'd spend that time with ur precious 1. despite the fact that i don't agree with most of the products she promotes, LL provided what she thought is the best for our little ones. her concerns are still valid if u focus ur vision beyond the surface of her lectures during her long and dragging classes. when u'r trying to promote something that u believe in, would u not make ur product stand up really high. one'd probably do the same thing she's done and continuosly do. please don't take me wrong as i'm not standing on her side because of the graceful success we had with our little 1's feeding. all i'm trying to pursuade y'all to see beyond. regardlessly, i'd still recommend anyone attending her classes. i'd also tell them the reason for that for i also believe that breastfeeding is good. however, if it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world. there are alternatives and other responsibilities on ur side.
life is funny sometimes. many unpleasant things could happen. many pleasant things will balance it to make life worthy of it's living. it a matter of being able to balance it properly and appropriately. putting too much weight on the unpleasantness of life will only make it continously distasteful to urselves. what is successful to u, may not be for others. what is advantageous to other may not be of benefit to u. please don't be downcasted.
despite the drizzles that smashes on ur faces... when it seesm like u'r walking down the dark valley and feeling weak... even if the thunder crashes and the lightning flashes, don't be alarmed. just hang in there. the sun is still above the stormy clouds. them dark clouds will pass and bring forth beautiful clouds and the sunlight it will peak through to a point where it drowns us.
no need to feel embarassed st, i truly thank u & karen for the support. i still think breastfeeding is the best and i haven't given up. but 6-months EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding is not for everyone. the reason i think so negative of LL is that, compared to other moms who took e.g. hospital or community's prenatal/breastfeeding class, those who were in LL's class are more stressed (and i mean REALLY stressed) when breastfeeding is not going so well. those who weren't in LL's class don't feel as bad when they give their bb both bottle/formula + breast milk, or they don't struggle as much giving bb formula, esp. during first few days to keep bb in good health. i feel so sad when babies become dehydrated or yellow just because parents are so crazy about EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding and think so lowly about formula. i mean, formula is still food and it is unnecessary to make it sound like poison. that's what i meant when i said LL's too biased.
