There was no breastfeeding or pumping for this former B list mostly television actress. Contrary to what she says for public consumption, her baby was and has been fed formula by a nanny for at least the past three days.
Breastfeeding is hard, y'all. Especially the first time, and new moms get a lot of pressure. The baby is getting fed: good enough. Maybe she shouldn't be blogging about doing it if she isn't, though? Is that the point?
Have any of you ever nursed an infant - it hurts! It's only in the last 2 decades that breastfeeding has become fashionable again, like some kind of badge of honor. I can certainly understand why some women don't do it. It doesn't mean they don't love their child as much as those that do. I only wish Lively had told the truth.
I am a breastfeeding advocate but the only way to NORMALIZE IT is by not shaming women whether they do or don't! Not everyone breastfeeds exclusively. Many women breastfeed, pump, and supplement with formula. Many women suffer supply issues and feel a tremendous amount of shame because they think something is wrong with them when there's not!! And FYI I have been nursing 17 months and was just away from my daughter for the first time overnight, went 4 days without pumping and nursing and still have milk.
I never believed she breast fed. She is too vain and only had a baby to lock hubby in. Her body is all she has, she's not exactly pretty, talented, or bright.
Bullshit blind. Maybe she's having lactation issues, do you want her to publicly state that she's having lactation issues and needs to supplement because she supports breastfeeding? Don't really like her but boob or bottle isn't a blind.
Not surprised at all!!
ReplyDeleteNo breast feeding or pumping for 3 days = milk dried up. She's such a phony.
ReplyDeleteAnd, maybe the fragile, persnickety husband whined and complained.. ew!
ReplyDeleteShe was too busy changing outfits 5635252 times a day while promoting her movie to take the time to breastfeed!
