--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
After 9 months spent dreaming about the magic moment when finally taken into Arm your child, you want to breastfeed because you know it's the best food for him and wish to experiment with feeding.

Here expose 13 foolproof tips to defeat your breastfeeding, and (what is better) is not necessary that you follow them because they all work, simply a continuation of inertia social, anyone of you can make sure that their dreams and intention of the original stump, if you're not prepared to refuse them.
's so that a company manufactures "weaned" which, as in the photo, has a bottle in his tattooed flesh
1. Uninformed on this issue
It 'important to learn about the holiday destination, the car model, the brand of cosmetics, and on any aspect of our technological society, but how to breastfeed your children, locations and to avoid injuries ensure a good grip on what the nursing upon request on how they sleep cycles of a baby, what are the human needs of the small mammals, etc. ... NO! What is genetic!
2. Delegating decisions to a professional one and not seek or help or support
If your child's doctor / nurse / pharmacist or another professional tells you that you have to give the bottle with the addition or change to formula feeding because the baby gain weight, you have a little milk, mastitis, etc. .. accepted his decision without ever discussing it , although you do not want to.
to operate at the leg, or nose, choose an outfit or a restaurant, repair your car to a mechanic, TO BALANCE criteria, we ask a second, third, tenth review, let the real experts or guides who inform us well, but for breastfeeding you leave everything to chance and not seek help and solace in support groups for breastfeeding!
3. Do not strain
In this materialistic and consumerist society, the effort is left to work outside the home, where work is well regarded for more than 10 hours, struggle to lose weight or improve in the gym, climb a mountain for the weekend but strive to overcome any difficulties which might result in breast-feeding a baby or be prepared to this ? Where have we ever seen that you can devote time and energy to something so INVISIBLE unpaid, undervalued and that you consider unnecessary?
The intangible, loving care you have for people, has no value in the market ...
4. Be swayed by advertising and the media
toys, advertising, campaigns, and state information throughout the collective unconscious of the past half century, power, wheels, reproducing the culture of the bottle, which generates millions of Depending on the one hand and family on the other. Breastfeeding is an act relegated to the books of anatomy with the note "and when you can not ..."
(advertising where you see that children are born with a pacifier and a bottle embedded and mothers are always beautiful and available to the system. Note that the baby in the stroller does not exist!)
5. Accept the fact that you are imperfect!
But it happens to almost all women: your mother could not breastfeed (for an unknown reason), your sister non aveva latte o se lo aveva, era “annacquato”, a tua nonna terminò improvvisamente il latte per uno spavento, la tua vicina aveva ferite disumane, la tua collega di lavoro aveva i capezzoli rientrati, le fu impossibile e per di più si aggiunse la depressione….
Effettivamente più del 70% delle madri ha qualche grave difetto di fabbrica che la scienza non ha ancora spiegato . E’ incredibile che l’umanità abbia potuto sopravvivere fino ad oggi con l’allattamento esclusivo per milioni di anni senza che esistesse la Nestlé, incredibile..
Apparentemente la Natura è una pasticciona, e per giunta misogina, perché il 99,999% dei cuori, fegati, reni, e peni funzionano, soltanto i seni femminili generano problemi , dolori, amarezza e colpa quando si pretende di usarli fisiologicamente e non per il topless sulla spiaggia, o altri usi erotici.
6. Pretendi di usare tutti gli accessori che ti hanno regalato.
Sono “troppo carini”: biberon, pulisci biberon, sterilizzatori, tettarelle antiriflusso e polifunzione, campioni di latte super vitaminico, thermos, borse per contenere tutto il “necessario”…
Dal momento che dicono che vengono investiti più di 6.000 euro il primo anno di vita del bimbo, abbiamo many gadgets that we normally are awarded and we are sorry not to use them. It would be a discourtesy and since we have at hand ....
Instead, breastfeeding is austere, with little glamorous and does not require accessories that allow us unconsciously to project consumption in all we got, instead, skin against skin.
7. Choose to separate yourself from your baby from the moment of birth
We have lives filled with agendas and commitments incompatible with the presence of a newborn son and can not alter them, must adapt. We want to return to "normal" as soon as possible, as if nothing had happened nothing, because our society, giving birth is a be embedded with activities in more than all the others, but it is not in itself a transcendental experience we can afford to live in all its intensity. This is why some ministers return to work after 5 days by caesarean ...
In addition, any other person can feed and "take care" to a newborn. the contrary, the obligation to keep feeding your son always attached to you, as if we were kangaroos.
8. Always believe that breastfeeding is incompatible with the job. This
knows all mondo, dal momento che la OMS raccomanda 6 mesi di allattamento esclusivo (e per almeno 2 anni complementare), ma il periodo di maternità remunerato in Spagna è di meno di 4 mesi, per matematica pura bisogna svezzare i bimbi a tre mesi, perché si abituino. La vita è dura per tutti e quanto prima lo imparano, meglio è…
Dal momento che abbiamo seguito il punto 1 (non essere ben informate), non sappiamo che allattamento e lavoro esterno sono perfettamente compatibili, estraendoci il latte (se volessimo) o con allattamento misto, o dopo i 6 mesi con alimentazione complementare.
Il resto delle madri non occidentali del pianeta can work and breastfeed children and history has always been so, but they did not progress and have not been released, it is clear! The neo-liberal system and our wild times and work spaces are "the best" quality of life of women ...
(Best Cinematography Environmental 2009)
(This woman is obviously waiting to be able to leave this child in a nursery-mussel-tyrant and finally being able to work much harder to be able to leave and pay)
9. Be equal to 100%, and defend possibility that the father his son food
It took more than 100 years of struggle to move away from the yoke home and be equal to men in all, to be able to opt for this hours DISCRIMINATION natural and we use only our breasts, leaving excluding fathers with nothing to do with their children.
10. Think only of the child and not yourself
Consider that breastfeeding is a sacrifice we have to do for all immunological defense of the newborn and an act of altruism, and not think about you, your health, your pleasure or to your will.
More martyrs we feel, will last less breastfeeding ...
11. Perceive breastfeeding as anti-feminist
pro breastfeeding campaigns are neo-sexist and retrograde . Why seek to return women to patriarchal oppression and away from the world of work outside.
Breastfeeding, center your energy, your talent and your time with your children during breastfeeding is actually going backwards and is a big favor to all the working women of the world.
Thinking this, I would not have even colostrum ...
12. Have prejudices
Breastfeeding is something to be gypsies or African women, like those who bring their children in a piece of cloth on him all day. The poor can not buy a Bugaboo de 1100 € or milk enriched with probiotics.
Breastfeeding brings us closer to COWS, an animal, an inferior being, a decerebration that does things by instinct (that's horrible!) And not for personal decision.
13. Be conformist and submissive to the dominant culture
The reality is that only 30% of mothers arriving in Spain at 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding. Most of the family are used in infant formula since the early months and most of them after the first year.
bottle feeding is the norm, it is very easy, it's what everyone knows to use and prescribe.
go against, in this and other respects, it is inconvenient, requires us to inform us on many occasions to contradict and those around us, including authority figures.
is worth being a mother is not subject and jump over the obstacles?
---
All this, with or without irony, everyday reality.
We live in a culture bottle of the 50 when broke (and broke deliberately) the chain of transmission of breastfeeding and natural growth with affection and right now we have no more partner in the company (either mothers or grandmothers) who help us and teach us how to breastfeed a baby or grow away from industry and if we opt for breastfeeding we move into a slippery slope.
when breastfeeding is not working quietly from the beginning, which sometimes happens, any of the 13 points mentioned above can derail our desire to breastfeed.
The assignment not to breastfeed does not clash with any machine, the system works that way at all levels. Quite the contrary, the choice to breastfeed and / or spend more feeding time of what has been established , meets many brakes.
Fortunately there are ANTIDOTES : personal decision firm and responsive attitude, serious information, good professionals and support groups for mothers.
This is not to feel guilty and feel despondent when we did what we could or managed according to our ability, personal circumstances or the time, but instead must look at the right distance and reflect the collective level, because do not feed the human species with human milk is a matter of survival and holistic health, much of what we believe.
seek and find solutions to the reasons why many women feel but do not continue to breastfeed for as long as they want, not being an enemy of the mothers but ensure that mothers have fewer difficulties in the future.
These are 13 tips for SUCCESS during breastfeeding:
1. Well informed about breastfeeding before the birth
We need to know. For the infant sucking is instinctive, but for mothers to breastfeed is learned in their own culture. Many gorilla in captivity in zoos they do not know it.
Here and here you will find three books in pdf, guides in several languages.
In Spain, the National Association of Pediatrics provides many answers to common questions.
And ask, demand gift you book a pediatrician Carlos Gonzalez "A gift for life" (published in Italy)
2. Find professionals who are knowledgeable and recent insights on breastfeeding
According to medical statistics , many pediatricians spread incorrect information on breastfeeding. The well-known expert Dr. Newman explains how do you know if a doctor can not support breastfeeding.
And there are also groups that support breastfeeding are FREE and will listen and support. For example, the International League of milk is present in 85 countries.
And there are also groups that support breastfeeding are FREE and will listen and support. For example, the International League of milk is present in 85 countries.
3. Do not give up at the first hurdle
Just as you cut a foot for a retort, do not stop breastfeeding for a solvable problem as almost all are.
difficulties sometimes occur, and once corrected, satisfactions at all levels are much higher and is worth an initial effort.
4. Forget advertising and thinks well on the articles of the media
Be immune to advertising, who just wants to make money and is not intended to your health or that of your family. This advice applies to any area of \u200b\u200blife.
The media have very good information, as this article from El País full of prejudices and false information like this . Find within you the ability to evaluate them.
5. Our body is perfect and magical
Nature is wiser than what we believe, human milk is a living food, personalized that fits the needs of the child at every moment is different for a child born prematurely and at term is different the first month or the 7th according to the growth, changes between day and night, is always available, at a suitable temperature. In addition to nutrients, is generated with breastfeeding hormones oxytocin with great benefits for mother and child and the bond between them . Breast milk has many ingredients and aspects that science has not yet discovered and of which surprises us every day.
Nor should give birth to breastfeed because you can breastfeed an adopted baby. And even if we stopped breastfeeding for whatever reason, we can resume. The tit works perfectly and is available to us if we learn to use it and do not hinder us.
6. Save lots of money with breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is free and is not sponsored by any lobby with vested interests, is the best example of SOVEREIGNTY 'FOOD economically, because a large medical prevention functions as a natural vaccine against many diseases , and is un atto di indipendenza di fronte al sistema attuale.
si legga in proposito anche l’articolo de EL Mundo “ L’affare del biberon”
7. I nostri figli hanno bisogno di noi
Siamo mammiferi con la necessità costante di contatto e di latte e richiediamo molto più tempo per essere indipendenti del resto delle altre specie, precisamente per via della dimensione maggiore del nostro cervello, che ci rende più dipendenti dai nostri genitori.
Noi donne attualmente abbiamo more than 85 years of life expectancy, consider this: how short the time when our children need us in body and soul ....
8. Breastfeeding and working are compatible
The most frequent requests are in support groups on how to combine breastfeeding and working outside the home. There are many texts on this, and we will find answers informiamoci well suited to our particular case.
It 'clear that the system of work is not well organized, but because sacrifice the children instead of fighting to improve ? Rather than ask for maternity leave more than 6 months, facilities for those who want to overcome them, time flexibility, teleworking, etc., and organize our lives around our priorities, moment by moment.
Here you can follow a beautiful REPORTAGE PHOTO how it really works and reconcile (reconcile is not separate for several hours) in the U.S. magazine Mothering. An example that will is power.
9. Breastfeeding the father can participate in different ways
The infant has before him many years to live, there is a long time because the food's father ... And if we really want to give him the bottle, it may also give breast milk "deferred" when absenteeism.
If he takes care of us, is in charge of the household chores, and logistical support ourselves, will be much easier breastfeeding.
(The father's role during lactation in English)
10. Breastfeeding is not a condemnation nor a biblical moral duties, it is simply part of female sexuality
Yes, breastfeeding is not limited to breast milk dispensers of the highest quality, is part of our global organization and generates the same hormones in sexuality and orgasm .
Breastfeeding has many benefits for the mother for physical and psychological health, is a source of satisfaction and a significant element of personal self-affirmation.
I leave them the martyrs on the altars ...
11. Breastfeeding is obviously feminist
not forse femminista difendere il nostro corpo, risorse e desideri??
L’allattamento non ha nulla a che fare con il femminismo della falsa uguaglianza che accetta il modello di lavoro attuale ma invece sì ha molto a che fare con il NEOFEMMINISMO che difende l’irrinunciabile ruolo della donna all’esterno, senza sacrificare i nostri corpi e i nostri figli. Come? Cambiando il mercato e non subendo tutto quello che c’è…
Per altro, Noruega con 52 mesi di congedo di maternità e il numero più alto di presenza femminile pubblica, è il paese migliore per essere madre .
12. I question your ruling dizi breastfeeding and open your mind
're not a cow but quite the contrary, breast-feeding is the milk of our species, while the bottle is treated cows' milk .
The cow produces the best milk for calves , animals much heavier and with less than brains of humans and we have converted to the standard of infant feeding, adding a variety of treatments because the babies would die if they take him directly because it is indigestible per il loro organismo.
Essere mammifero e esercitarlo, difenderlo, e rivendicarlo non è peccato e è il più moderno che esiste perché ciò che è realmente avanzato nella società è proteggere i neonati e le madri.
E ci raccontano così poco degli inconvenienti del latte artificiale…
13. Ribellati alla società e continua il tuo cammino
Molte informazioni di qualità e orecchie sorde alle pressioni o scoraggiamenti esterni.
