Formula - Tumblr Posts
I feel like I had an easier job breastfeeding than most people and it was still really hard. Nurses and lactation consultants were often the *sources* of misinformation. Our birthing class instructor, for example, told me that breastfeeding didn’t hurt if the baby latched properly. The first time my baby latched, it hurt so badly that my toes curled. The nurses at the hospital were like, “oh, yeah, it hurts horribly no matter what,” and gave me a nipple shield so that I could tolerate it. It did stop hurting after a few weeks, and I’m still breastfeeding my 14 month old.
I also feel like this is a really difficult subject to talk about. I do not relate the above story to say “hey, I’m awesome, look at me breastfeeding my baby like a mighty cavewoman” but because I do think that there is a lot of misinformation out there, most of it, currently, designed to pressure women into breastfeeding. I am glad I breastfed my baby, mostly because I like the cuddles. But science doesn’t really support the idea that “breast is best” and it really isn’t best for a lot of babies and parents. I felt so much guilt about supplementing with formula, because I *could* produce milk, but I didn’t want to pump 3x a day on top of working. But there’s zero evidence that giving formula causes any problems with a baby’s development, and not pumping meant I had more time to spend with her.
Some other ridiculous things I’ve experienced:
Mom at one of my groups sent home from the hospital without being told how to breastfeed because “lactation is closed on Sunday”
Maternity nurse ashamedly helping me give my baby a small amount of formula because I was in so much pain, acting like she was offering baby opium
Moms who continued feeling excruciating pain while breastfeeding because their babies and tongue or lip ties, but didn’t realize that wasn’t normal
Another mom who couldn’t produce enough milk to feed her first and had to supplement being shamed by the maternity ward nurses because she planned to supplement to feed her *twins*
Most of these things happened in my area of the U.S., which is as breastfeeding-friendly as anywhere in the country. It’s still really hard and there’s still a lot of bad information.
FED IS BEST.
I think I’ve cracked the tumblr sexyman formula you guys. All of the tumblr sexymen have these three things in common:
1.) A suit
2.) A blue and orange morality, either that, or straight up evil
3.) A tall, spindly build, and if he has any muscle, it’s lean muscle, not a six pack
Am I wrong?
Hey little bro has you seen the glass i left in my laboratory desk…HOLY SHIT!
I scream as i see my little bro driniing the last drop of my experimentak super growtg formuka just that as i expected the formuka had an incredibke effeft in my little bros body.
Although calling it little now wont be correct my brother now standed a head taller than me and had quadruple his muscle mass his arm which was stil holdimg thr glass wasnt even fleximg yet a mountainous bicep was rigth there way bigger than my head.
My brother lip his licks, and after a loud belch, he said"sorry bro was kind of thirsty, and that protein shake hit the spot but would you be a darling and make some more for me. He said as he gave me the empty glass I was about to say no, but my little bro raised his eyebrow and did a quick pec bounce, and I was right back at my lab making more formula I hope the growth is not exponential or my little bro won’t even fit in the house…
When I bought that jock formula from the prank shop, I thought it would only change the personality and would only make people act like jocks. So I thought it would be funny to put it into a couple of the biggest nerd in school. I just picture how funny it would look to see them acting all tough in those wimpy tiny bodies.
However I wasn’t prepared to what happens next after the gave a sip of the jock formula I saw them bending in pain but then something happens, their tiny bodies start growing. Their wimpy arms become thick pipes ripping out their sleeves with, their pecs exploded in size pushing their shirts to the limits,, their legs not only grew more muscular to support their bodybuilder-like torso but also grew longer in length.
When the transformation was ended the two nerds stand up, they were now a full head taller than me, my head barely reaching their overdeveopdchests. Worst of it is that they start to act witch cockiness like they were jocks, flexing and showing off their muscles even though they still had their same nerdy faces. I think I accidentally have transformed the biggest nerds in school into the BIGGEST nerds in school
