I'm currently breastfeeding a baby and I normally eat very healthy -- and I have a very easy baby. But the handful of times I've eaten crap in the last six months, she's gotten sick too! I had a McDonalds breakfast once and that night she was up until 2am with gas and crying, which is not like her at all. Ate a cheap burger (like the worst burger you could imagine, it was almost comical how bad this was, but I was so hungry) at a friend's show and she had diarrhea the next day. It's crazy. I wonder how many cases of fussy babies are just problems with Mom's diet?
I bf all 3 of mine and oddly enough broccoli 🥦 did not like my babies tummies just like that burger made yours ill. They also had frequent earaches. But I vaxxed them. I wondered they why if im breastfeeding are they get t ung earaches? Now i correlate it to the shots? My biggest regret was giving them those shots.
It is so sad what they did to women in the 50s and 60s. My mom was told "you don't need to do that any more.". Honestly, between the formula and the vaccines, it makes me wonder if these two things are the cause of most disease and declining longevity.
Im a prime example. I spent the greater part of my life, 28yrs or so struggling with so many autoimmune issues. Doctors told my mother to stop breastfeeding me after two weeks. This was in the 80s. They also blasted me with antibiotics and vaccines. Sad state in human history.
Marketing formula back in the 50s sadly made women feel they were more posh if they used formula as nursing was so archaic. We have been gaslit so hard by companies pushing products and then by feminists. It's disgusting!
I am still frustrated to no end, that breastfeeding mothers were told the Covid vaccines would not go into their breast milk. Of course it did, but then it was spun as, "Isn't that great! Now babies can also receive the benefits of the vaccine." This gaslighting has got to stop.
There is a growth spurt in the human brain during the last trimester of pregnancy and the first postnatal months, with a large increase in the cerebral content of DHA. The fetus hoards DHA from the mother and incorporates it into its brain at ten times the rate at which it can synthesize it.
Allergens in breast milk are a healthy part of breast milk. It trains the infant's immune system to tolerate them. But when infants are sensitized by vaccines contaminated with allergens, they will react to the allergens in breast milk.
Almost wish I didn't read this... Cannot produce enough for my baby no matter what I try and have to feed him formula 2/3 of his diet 😭 trying to get the good organic stuff with whole milk rather than seed oils from Europe, but still the mom guilt is real
I could only breastfeed for 2 months and I had 6 kids. It was the same for them all. I tried all kinds of support and accepted advice from all over but none of it made a difference. I wish I had known more options than regular formula, but I didn’t. I could only do my best with the knowledge that I had at the time. Don’t feel guilty about something you are unable to do. Just love your baby and make the best choices you can at the moment. No mom is perfect or can do everything perfectly. ❤️
One of my cousin's had this happen to her. It's been some time, but I remember she would purchase goats milk. (I hope I'm not speaking out of line, but maybe research that?)
I will pray for you, for comfort, peace, and guidance. I found information on the La Leche League website very, very helpful when I struggled with a lot of pain when nursing my first. I learned that breastfeeding is not always easy and the journey is different for all of us.
No one tells you how difficult it will be. My son was hypotonic which of course I did not know at the time. I had to pump for six weeks in addition to trying to get him to latch AND feeding him supplemental formula. Thankfully he latched and we had a lovely time of it (minus the mastitis part of course). Moms need support through all of it - something we had in the old days when families all lived a short distance from each other and mothers were there to help and give advice.
My Leche League leader friend told me to pretend you have the flu for a few days & just relax & watch movies. Your body's energy will focus on making milk. Hopefully, that will work for you.
Weston A Price has a homemade formula far superior to store bought. Not as convenient, but the next best thing to breast milk. I’d never use donor milk unless I knew for a fact the mother & her partner had never taken an mrna shot.
Yes I saw that formula recipe in the article and someone also shared a link here. I'll definitely look into it.
I didn't even think about that part about donor milk! I couldn't find any anyway.... The local milk bank charges $5 per ounce 🤯 AND you have to have a prescription. They mostly save it for NICU babies. That's $20 to feed the baby ONCE, that's hundreds of dollars, and as this article describes it's pasteurized anyway, which removes many of the benefits.
You're not alone, I've known women who couldn't breast feed their babies. Some had failure to thrive till they switched them to formula, one told me her baby was allergic to her milk. Your baby does know how much you love him and that's the most important thing of all.
I have tried that and all kinds of other things. The only thing that really worked to increase supply was power pumping (where you pump for an hour, at intervals. Replicates what babies do after birth and growth spurts). I didn't notice much difference with anything I ate, though I have tried all kinds of supplements, brewers yeast, oats, flaxseed, eating lots of healthy fats, hydration, cooking all my own meals, etc. All these efforts maybe got me a few extra ounces, but not the extra 15+ oz which my baby needs. There is a whole giant industry preying on moms like me who read articles like this one and are desperately trying to increase supply. I've definitely fallen for it, too, although I understand with my mind that all these things are just marketing, but the desperate mom inside me is still holding out hope and wants to try it....
On a separate note, about fenugreek specifically, there are mixed reviews about how effective it is:

Fantastic coverage of this subject! I breastfed both our children. I knew nothing of the details, such as included here, but what a sweet time it was spent with daughter, and then son! Nurture and bonding by God's design.
If we could only convince the medical industrial complex and minions that natural is best! Oh how much there is to undo/unlearn!
Given a former biochemist pal told me, “there’s no profit in cures”, I find that notion highly unlikely. We’ll do better taking our own health into our own hands. I’m not waiting for the system to change. I just changed myself.
We were so lied to in Ireland when I was a young parent. (22/02/1967) Or more clearly, we were not educated in the school system in actual nutrition.
The food pyramid promoted to school children had a wide portion of carbs, (pastas and breads) as nutrition and the smallest section on top was meat and dairy.
Today in Ireland, we have a nation of sick adults and children, in my opinion from what I’ve been learning since March 2020, this is caused initially by the breakdown of the gut microbiome from vaccines and then further destroyed by the high carb and high processed food diet.
Yes! Mother's milk is the best. Only if the blood value of vitamin D is above 50 ng's. Colostrum is the essential protective ingredient to help the new born survive. Ignored by mainstream medicine that pushes deficient baby formula and vaccines.
Breastmilk is truly the elxir of life. A great alternative to those that cannot is raw goats milk. Morning milk wakes baby up - night milk is designed to help babies sleep. The magic of human breastmilk. For a prem baby the milk from mum is designed for that baby at that moment in time.
Exactly. I was born in Eastern Europe in the early 1970s. Two days of breastfeeding, then formula all the way. Constantly separated from my mother and left in the care of strangers - because the State knew best. Fed a steady diet of artificial and powdered everything. Bounced around hospitals almost non-stop till the age of two. (US readers will have SEEN those hospitals, actually, because what's left of them has been used as a backdrop in episodes of American Horror Story and the occasional dystopian music video; I'm not kidding.) Quite a childhood! 🙂
Love that you have a following, but I knew many years ago, I guess because I am a born and bred skeptic, that breast milk was better than anything on the market and also that a mother needed a good diet. Why so many mothers do not know this already is because they simply trust the providers. Hope that ends soon and they trust their bodies more.
When my daughter was an infant I nursed her on breastmilk only until she was at least half a year, and then slowly on introduce other food, thinking, it would prevent allergies etc. because that runs in the family.
I was so incredibly disappointed that one day, when she was 6 months old, she woke up with a rash all over her throat and neck, like a big collar. In hindsight I think it was around her next round of vaccination. Normally I think it doesn't pop up out of nowhere. All other times she had/has it, it comes up gradually.

No more junk food for you Meghan!

Right? Don't eat sushi but the covid vaccine is no problem.
Agreed. It really must end.
Breastmilk is a gift from God.

Have you tried fenugreek tea?

The heavy duty pumps (floor models) really helped a lot. We rented it for the first six weeks and it was a life saver.
Weston Price. Mentioned in the article. A dear friend sent me an issue of their periodical.

exactly, reject the WHO.
thanks very much clive - i just signed and sent it on.
Yikes! Reject it indeed!!
I went to this site. I think it’s likely just a data collection site trying to get your money.
wrong and goodbye

NOW do unpasteurized whole milk

Common sense ain't so common I guess.
Glad I did one thing right! I breastfed mine for two years and ate pretty good during that time. 🙂
Make that two, I avoided vaccines too. Incredibly, I did not get much pushback on that from a university pediatrician!
