And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Would you mind e-mailing me at suzyhasleftthebuilding@hotmail.com and I can give you my insight? I don't want to debate defending a friend here in public but I'd love to give you some perspective.

That's where the "if they don't have to" comes into play. . .at least for me.

No problem, although I think it would be better if you asked her for permission to do so first.

Believe it or not, there is a whole group of women who believe that the *only & best* way to breastfeed is straight from the source. No ebm at all. There was a HUGE discussion on the other sah/woh board on this whole (insane, imo) topic. It is the mommy olympics to the Nth degree. What *was* funny was one of the posters then talked about how their kids ate Mcdonalds. I love it. No ebm. But a Big Mac at a later date is ok. It was a ridiculous debate.

People who think in terms of "only" really bother me.

Okay. I wasn't going to provide you with any information she hadn't already shared here on this board. But I'll ask anyhow.

"People who think in terms of "only" really bother me. Apparently (according to momofhk) I'm not nearly as fit a mother as she because I fed my child EBM."

I never said that LOL. We all make decisions based on our own individual cirmstances. You did what you thought was best, just as I did what I thought was best. Of course, it wouldn't have been best for you to do what I did, just as it wouldn't have been best for me to do what you did. All I was pointing out, is that bm on demand from the actual source is generally best, except in in extreme circumstances, such as yours.
