omg you people are ridiculous! some babies just don't "take to the breast" and can't be breastfed. and like someone else said, she could be on medication that would harm the baby. Jesus but on another note, to the OP, you could still leak even though it's been 5 months. so he has a valid fear.

Snicks' I have to tell you that you are wrong. I am an MD--women can do everything right and still have "toxic" breast milk. Nothing is "wrong" with mom or baby, it just happens 8% of the time. I think I might be in love with you.

dude have you ever tasted boobie milk, not good

Is it so hard to let people do their own thing? They have a right to do what they want up until they either break the law or interfere with the rights of others.

Umm, there are lots of women who cannot breastfeed because they have hormonal disorders, who have "toxic" breast milk or who can't produce enough milk to feed their baby. Also some women just physically can'tbreastfeed, sometimes the baby won'ttake the breast and sometimes it's reallyakward and painful for the mother, that doesn't make her a bad mother. Also there are many women who are too stressed and can't produce breast milk.

The funny thing is that (if everything is working properly) if you didn't breastfeed, you'd be even more likely to leak milk ^_^ haha. Obviously not five months down the track though. Also, to all the people arguing over whether kids are more intelligent/less socially inept if they're fed on breastmilk or not: It has been pretty inarguably proven that, for the most part, breast milk is the healthier option for babies. HOWEVER, this doesn't mean you're a bad mother if you don't breast feed; some women are physically unable to, some babies are physically unable to; there are other factors that can get in the way of it. Despite the general rule, you get exceptions, and in some exceptions it'd be worse to try to force the baby to breastfeed than just go ahead with formula (or expressing breast milk).

U dumb biatch! Have u ever had a child? Or been around babies fullstop?! U have no clue, u think u know it all, how old r u, 12?! Dumb snickerho.

"Why ain't you breastfeeding em?"

Anonnamous, my older brother (who is now 23) could not keep the milk down either... He had surgery later on and that was fixed...

I can't blame your husband for this one. I've had minor leakages of colostrum, and I'm due in 6 days. My husband is about scared to touch my breasts, because he thinks the leaks are 'icky', lol. (And I do plan on breastfeeding, so it'll probably be quite awhile before he touches mine again, haha.) Just give your husband a bit of time to get over it, he will soon enough.
