Won't beat myself up about not breastfeeding!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

Thanks to those who responded re: breastfeeding/OCD. It sounds

to me like there is no real connection. I guess I can cross not

breastfeeding off my list of why OCD is my fault! ;)LOL I guess the

point is not to worry so much about the hows and the whys, but just

deal the best we can with what is! Best to everyone--Adrien in NV

My daughter was only bottle fed. One memory I just had was that I planned to

switch her to Playtex bottles once she came home from the hospital. She

refused to drink out of any bottle nipple except the ones they had given her in

the hospital. I had to go back to the hospital and ask for more of the ones

they used, up until she was 4 months old. They said they hadn't seen a baby who

refused to take from any but the hospital bottle nipples. Their bottle

nipples didn't fit any other bottles, so they had to give me those as well.I

wonder

if that should have been a sign that she was going to have issues! Please

don't beat yourself up, as parents of OCD kids we have enough to deal with from

other people who think they mean well! Kim
