Five Generations – Part 6
How did you feed your baby?
Great Nan (mother of 3)
I breastfed all my children until they were five months. I also helped feed a premature baby, this was commonplace in my day.
Nan (mother of 4)
I breastfed my first two babies until they were six weeks and then I bottlefed. My other two were bottle fed from the beginning. I decided to bottle feed as it was less restrictive and meant that my husband could get more involved.
Mum (mother of 2)
I bottle fed both my children, I didn’t want to breast feed at all.
Me (mother of 1)
I bottle fed as I wasn’t allowed to breast feed because of crohns medication I am on.
That concludes my look at how different generations have dealt with pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.
