“Just breastfeed your baby,” is advice some moms are tired of hearing as they search everywhere for hard-to-find baby formula. Not all moms can. OSF Healthcare Certified Lactation Counselor Kelly Hert says if a woman’s not already feeding the child nature’s way, she probably has good reasons.
Some women can’t work it into their lifestyles because of work. Some women have medical conditions that complicate it. For some women, the problem is not making enough milk. And for some, everything’s fine until maternity leave ends. The woman can’t work in pumping the milk or her body responds to the change by not making it anymore.
