Have any of you tried the new smoked butterscotch latte from Starbucks? It's all I can think about today - it can either be amazing or awful. I need feedback!
babyzebra, i saw your post earlier about disclosing your BF intentions to your OB and wanted to resound immediately but I was about to be sick on public transit if I looked at my phone any longer.
I just wanted to give you a standing ovation for knowing and standing up for what you know wil work best for your family and for proactively bringing your plans up with your doctor. We all know the pressure out there for so many different aspects of parenting, in particular breastfeeding & pumping. It's often so misguidedand and even harmful as it exacerbates the guilt we might already feel about so many different things related to our babies.
Being a STM myself I'm grateful for the perspective I have this time around (regarding BF, pumping amongst a number of other things) but it was a heavy price to pay. It's a good reminder for all moms here that we need to trust ourselves and our instincts and focus on what is really important for ourselves and our family. There is no prize at the end of the day for being 'super mom' (whatever that is) but there is a lot gained from having a healthy, happy family.
Thanks csat! I'm just glad that my OB was so supportive and she pretty nicely and tactfully called me out for unnecessarily apologizing for my choice. It was refreshing to hear!
