i already placed a post but i read the mission statement and felt a sense of relief i just had my first baby boy july 1st and i absolutly love being a mom but ive had 2 abortions 1 when i was 15 and one 2 years ago and they are now starting to haunt me as i look at my beautiful boy and i start to feel very sad and angry im glad theres alot of support here i know deep inside i mad the right desision due to the circumstances in my life at the time but they haunt me how can i come to terms with this within myself? I wanted to know if anyone has any info on ADD and breastfeeding my doctor pescribed me ritalin and told me to wean my 5 month old i love breastfeeding him whats more important mental health or breastfeeding? Any thoughts?
Welcome to Girlmom :D I'm glad that you see this place as a support system, you will never have to justify your choices here and they are accepted and supported completely.
As for the breastfeeding question you may want to make a post of it on the "Feed that Baby" forum. I personally don't know the answer (though I would hold off on weaning until you find out, and 5 months is really awesome!) but there are mamas in there who have the resources to look up medications on their effects. I'll do a quick search but if I can't find anything a post there could let you know.
If it isn't safe is there anything else you could take? Some doctors seem to just get on a kick and instead of modifying the medication for each person just perscribe the most common thing for everyone. Ask what your options are and tell him that weaning can't happen, then see what he suggests.
thanks for they reply i think i will check feed that baby
