Aw you would be very wrong. I was trying maybe in an inept way to say my daughter-in-law is one of the under educated women this article says hasn't the good sense to breast feed their children.

Cindi tried her hardest to breast feed Matthew in the hospital. Due to a severe RH incompatibility her peditrician ordered her to stop nursing. It about broke her heart not to be able to do so. Matthew had to have a blood tranfusion to correct his bili-rubin count and had to spend several days in Nic-U. Cindi had Matthew C section. Because I love my daughter-in-law, I spent 24/7 at the hospital with her and Matthew while my son, her husband worked.

Cindi never finished high school, has a GED and is a certified nurses aide. I'm proud of her for rising above an abusive drunken father to accomplish this.

She is a very caring mother, she puts Matthew's needs above her own. Never leaves him alone, when she went back to work she made sure he had a good loving older lady to watch him instead of just dumping him in daycare.

Cindi's abusive father always put her down as being worthless. I on the other hand never fail to praise her when she makes right decisions. And I don't critize her when she makes lesser ones. It is NOT my place to critize how she parents unless she were to put Matthew in danger. And considering how much she loves him, I seriously doubt she would do that.

I love my daughter-in-law she is like the daughter the Lord didn't bless me with.

Sorry you misunderstood what I wrote.

Looks like my first paragarph didn't state what I thought I was trying to express. What It should have said is that Cindi was trying to break the mold of under educated women this article talks about. I'm very proud of my daughter-in-law for over coming all the hardships she faced growing up. Maybe the next time she has a child ( I HOPE) they will make sure she gets that shot that RH incompatible couples needs earlier and she will be able to breast feed like she wanted to. IF it had not been for the RH incompatibility she would have succeeded with her efforts.

My gripe is with the high sugared formula, not wonderful my daughter-in-law.
