The trend is towards mothering and breastfeeding. Do you subscribe to this approach?
My husband is not pro-breastfeeding. Pregnancy is a fairly exclusive period, a fusion between mother and child. He was afraid that he would still feel left out when breastfeeding. When we breastfeed, we cannot eat or drink certain things. We are both epicureans and he also wanted to find our dinner alone, with good wine and a cheese platter.
My mother did not breastfeed us, but my sister breastfed. When he was born Oscar was not an applicant and I knew I was going to have to work again. I made the choice of reason. I could have made the choice of the heart, to breastfeed it, if I had stopped working for 6 months.
In California, the staff are pro-breastfeeding, but everyone respected my choice. Later, when a second comes, why not!
The advantage with the bib ‘: Oscar slept in the first month and is in great shape. The downside is that you have to get up at night to prepare the bottle, sterilize everything each time. I was very vigilant on this. And as soon as you go out, you have to take all the equipment. Logistical question, the bottle is complicated. I also have a complicated rhythm of life.
And what about the small jars?
My son only eats fresh. That too is a hell of a lot of logistics. When I come home at 23 p.m. or midnight, I still peel my carrots, with my baby cooker next to it. I myself have tasted small industrial pots and “homemade” to feel the difference. There is a little difference in taste.
I like to see my son’s bouille test new flavors. But I also have little jars, just in case. When Baby doesn’t like what I have prepared, you have to give her something else to eat.
