I don't know... This sounds kinda like Mad Max to me. I think that's a slippery slope.
I believe taking care of a little baby and breastfeeding them is a full-time job for mums.
If it is, I'm submitting my resume for manager.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do you always ask questions about breastfeeding? It makes me confused and keep wondering about it. Is it your fantasy or i misunderstood that.🤔🤔🤔🤔
I ask on behalf of other people some times, like this one. Def not a fantasy. Was my reality for 8 years tho.
It is a action not a jobs unless there is a employer.
If you're doing it for someone else and getting paid then yeah. Otherwise, not so much. . .
I'm also not sure how much demand there is for a job like this. It's not like everyone needs this service.
It must have been for Octomom, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 for obvious reasons she is thankful for baby bottles.
LOL.
Wet nurse... wasn't that a full time job?
Yup! That is why I mentioned it. 🤪
Only because she helped nurse the babies back in the day before formula or they’d die. I haven’t heard tell of one this century.
@alleon modern day wet nursing is milk donation. I donated over 2000 oz to help 10 babies.
If you want kids you should know what the responsibilities are.
That is a very insensitive.
I wasn't trying to mean, I just meant you should know what you have to do if you become a mother, of course it's a full time job, you have to sacrifice.
I was fully prepared yes. And I love my kids more than anything. It depleted me more than I could ever have imagined possible.
I know how you feel, it's a sacrifice, you give up your life for them, it's good you love them.
Yes indeed. They were shitty sleepers and I fed them from my body.
At least you're a good mom, not all women are.
I give my all to motherhood that is
For sure.
If it was it would take a toll on your nipples.
Mine got sore at times. HBU?
Yes they did. Nothing a little overnight lanolin couldn’t fix. The worst was when I was ovulating. They would be sore for 2-4 days every month.
Breastfeeding as a parent is not just a job or task, right?
Wish I was breast fed.
As a baby or now?
As a baby.
My mom does too
As a baby
She was given sweetened condensed milk in a bottle
I don't know because I can't relate
breastfeeding is almost a full time job
It is only a job if there is an employer.
Hmmmm. Interesting assertion.
This is not to say that breastfeeding or parenting is not just as or more difficult than a full-time job. Just that it is not something that would be amenable to or desirable to regulate as a full time job in the legal sense.
I suppose
A full time nanny is a thing. So of course!
LMFAO. Only in suckling pig 🐖 world 🌎
yes a wet nurse or wet nanny
Not a full time job
You have formula feeding as an option, no?
There is the term breast is best which is promoted by midwives, doctors and others (not something I 100% agree with).
Some babies won't take a bottle either which is not ideal (fussy buggers)
It *is* an option but should be a last resort in my opinion. May options.
1. Breastfeed directly
2. Fresh pumped milk from mom
3. Frozen milk from mom
4. Breastfed from donor
5. Fresh pumped from donor
6. Frozen from donor
7. Formula
And @boxxie2002 is right. My youngest would not take a bottle
