ow that is not to say you wouldn't want someone a little bigger like,....ehem....a man , -( or a woman if you are so inclined)- doing some "stuff" with your breasts! But that is using your breasts for a different purpose!
Tina, honey, you crack up up .
I am of the opinion that breasts are primarily for "play" and for attacting the opposite (or same) sex. Milk production is a secondary function. After all, you can only breast-feed kids for a proportion of your adult life...you can spend a great deal more time getting sexual pleasure out of the beautiful orbs.
Here we go again, more lectures from Jennifer on us terrible Americans. I try to make a joke and use a little humour and it goes right past Jennifer and we get another lecture. Do you ever smile or laugh Jennifer, or are you too busy lecturing Americans? .....and if American women are so unhealthy, why is our life expectancy now 80 years?

my brother was also in ICU. [the story blows people away] he is older than me you are talking about 34 years ago the didn't let mothers go in like they do now.
Monica, a premature baby's mother's body makes milk that meets the specific needs of that child! Unlike static formula which is the same all the time, breastmilk changes to meet the need of the growing baby. Breastmilk is a live substance. Artificial formula is not.

Tina, milk production has nothing to do with breast size. Women who wear big breasts simply have more FAT than others.
FAT doesn't make milk. Milk ducts do.
I find it so sad that most Americans have no idea behind the physiology of milk production.
Hey, we're Americans. We're PRUDES. We find it gross to nurse a child beyond infancy, even though the benefits are incredible for both mother and child.
Women who never nurse a child or who only nurse a short while have a much higher rate of breast cancer.
Now that is not to say you wouldn't want someone a little bigger like,....ehem....a man , -( or a woman if you are so inclined)- doing some "stuff" with your breasts! But that is using your breasts for a different purpose! I kind of like my breasts, they can be put to such good uses!!!.
And if you don't believe me, the next time to see a 4 yr. old kid, try and imagine breast feeding someone that big!!! Holy buckets, you would have to have some BIG breasts! Thanks but no thanks!!!!.
I breast feed my baby when she was little. I can't imagine breast feeding a kid until they are 4 yrs. old!!!!! Those foreigners are crazy aren't they!!!!!.

Hal, where did you get that impression? As I understand it, they simply advocate natural weaning. By the way, did you know that the world wide average age for weaning from the breast is four years of age? I have no idea how it started, but Americans have been taught that they shouldn't nurse past infancy. We're kind of prudish with our bodies. After all, breasts were designed for children, you know!

Monica, you've probably already done this, but if you haven't, it would be worth your while to see if there are other types of medication that you could take that wouldn't be as harmful.
jenifer i have TRIED so MANY over the years. infact one made me have to go to the ER because it didn't work right. i got excited i thought this one dr. had an alternitive but he didn't.. he basically said they are all harmful to a degree.
Also, you may try contacting La Leche League International to ask if they have any current research on alternatives. As busy as doctors are, it's virtually impossible to keep up-to-date and know absolutely everything!
how do you concact them? i'm very interested. thanks for any info.
Monica, you've probably already done this, but if you haven't, it would be worth your while to see if there are other types of medication that you could take that wouldn't be as harmful. Often, other drugs are available that won't be as concentrated in the breastmilk but that will treat your condition, but your doctor may not have thought about it.

Even as bad as nicotine is, doctors recommend that if a mom insists on smoking, it's better to breastfeed and smoke than to bottle feed and smoke. The antibodies that are found in breastmilk are made specifically for each baby and cannot be duplicated in any man-made breastmilk substitutes.
You may be an extremely rare case where it is advised that no alternatives exist. However, it really would be worth it for both the health of you and your baby to investigate absolutely every possibility.
Best wishes!

i will not breastfeed because of medical reasons. i am handicap and i take medication. i'm trying to tapper off but it's hard [sigh] if i stopped it completely i could have complications. i have done my reseach and talk with my dr. i do not want to put my baby at risk. i will be on it during my prenancy. which i hate but don't see a choice just trying to tapper off more and more. my breast milk will have the medication in it. therfore i do not want to exopose my child to more medication.
>>>i will not breastfeed anyway because of other issues.
I won't ask for specifics, but if you don't mind my asking, are the issues medical or psychological?
There is an awfully lot of misinformation about breastfeeding, I've discovered. So many women that I know have been given downright false information from their alleged "educated" doctors. What I find more frustrating is when women don't question it. Far too many of us take one opinion as the true and never bother to find out if there's any more information about the subject. Sigh.......

Monica, in regards to your first post. You did you had your breasts done THREE times. If you're willing to discuss it, I'd like to ask: why? Were there problems that needed correcting? Or, did you find that you wanted to be bigger? I promise I won't harp on you for the reasons, but I am curious why you had three operations.
why did i do it 3 times which is a good question. i had the tear drop at first. then i still wanted them bigger. then i wanted them more together[see wedding pic, i finally got it!] so i switch to round implants. there were no problems at all. a comment on breastfeeding you still can like you said jenifer. i will not breastfeed anyway because of other issues. this though again was the WHOLE POINT of my thread to begin with. SOME PEOPLE do what implants or have implants. there are mis inform about things such as breastfeeding.
