post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
my aunt is having a baby in november and her first one just turned one. she bf the first one for a few weeks and then stopped. and when i was having trouble bfing her and my uncle told my how much better and easier bottle feeding is for all the usual reasons. any way i asked her if she wanted some info and all that and some phone numbers on where to get support but she said she wasnt even going to try! ahh it makes me so mad.. she knows all the imformation and what just doesnt care? (altho i tried to talk about circ to and she told me they did the research and decided to it) what should i do if anything?

IMHO, you've done all you can. Just repeat "not my baby, not my baby" to yourself, and try to look forward to the new arrival.

When women have a bad experience with breastfeeding (or childbirth or anything else for that matter) it's totally normal for them to not be optimistic that it will turn out differently next time. Sad, but true.

ditto. anything more will likely strain your relationship. most important, above all else, is a happy healthy mommy and baby.

I concur. At least she did try it with her first. There may be something deeper going on.

I also try to remind myself... formula is 4th best... while there are three things better... there are MANY things worse.
