"Time Wasting Rules" - from Real Simple Magazine - NOT GOOD!
"Banty" wrote in message ... In article , says... For me ff was simpler because bf was: 1) Sit down 2) Plop out breast(s)? 3) switch breast 4) switch breast 5) switch breast etc. alot for hours on end. Both my babies wanted to constantly for hours on end be on the nipple because of supply issues. I gave up on bf with my first and persevered with the help of domperidone with my second. while ff was: 1) pour water in bottle 2) put formula in bottle 3) shake 4) feed baby for max 15 min Which required no refrigeration, microwave, pitcher, or measuring cups. It did require a store :-) Yep. I did both, and I think the perception varies on what the mother does and considers relaxing. Also the milk supply and let down. If it's feet up watching TV or sitting outside taking in the air and scenery and yammering on the phone to friends that mom loves, sitting and switching breasts is just the ticket. If more active pursuits are what's satisfying and relaxing to mom, sitting and switching breasts for 1/2 hour or so can be really reaaally sloooooow. And what's hard is what *else* has to be done with the time left over after siiiiittting and leetting dooown and relllaaaaxxxing for a loooooong time. (And no - don't say "oh -doncha know you can let the housework go" - I got REAL TIRED OF the clutter and feeling allergic to boot in a dirty, cat-hair filled house.) I did nurse, but my experience of it was more like that latter. My temprament isn't one to sit day in day out and look at baby and TV and trees and grass hours and yammer with whoever's hanging out hours in hours out day in day out. And I'm too heavy breasted to set up, hold baby in one arm, hold a paperback in the other. Banty I've been known to nurse standing up/walking around with DD, not in a sling, just arm. I've been impressed with how much I can get done at the same time as nursing if I feel like it. usually though, I do sit. also, my boobs aren't that huge, so I don't HAVE to have support for them, though I do find that a good nursing bra helps heaps!

"The Ranger" wrote in message ... E wrote in message ... [snip] also, expressed bm can be "stored" at room temp. for quite a few hours before "going bad" whereas mixed formula can't be... I am always surprised at how strongly resilient my daughter-units are at my attempts to do what I think is best or right. Each test often shows they will survive into adulthood despite my (and many other well-meaning adults) book-based, doctor-supported, new-age intentions. Go figure. The Ranger just trying to figure out what you are saying here and how it pertains? |

I'd also be interested to see if a decent study could be set up comparing average population types in the English speaking work V. those who access usenet at least several times weekly to see if there is a difference or if we truly are a cross section of the greater society. -Aula --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I see your point about "I"'s and attachment parenting, but in my case, I never felt that being with DS was draining by comparison to grown up people. It hardly felt like he was a separate person when he was a baby. I'm not a "typical" (whatever that is, LOL) AP practitioner, but did what I could. DS was almost always in arms and I bf'ed to 22m. I was afraid to co-sleep, but often did and still do (he is almost 3). OTOH, sometimes I *would* really like to go to the bathroom by myself! Being a "P" is not very useful for a work-out-of-the-house mom, but I can't change what I am! I've found the description of INFP to be pretty accurate for me, but I wonder if it's like reading my horoscope? Take care, Lisa |

Anyhow, you answer a bunch of questions and are assessed on these characteristics: I/E introverted/extroverted N/S intuitive/sensing T/F thinking/feeling J/P judging/perceiving I do needlework, but it has been years since I have had the time. I am very much an introvert and have to have my alone time. I don't know about where I would fall with the rest. Do you happen to know the website it is, so I can see just where I fall? -- Sue mom to three girls |
