I saw a recent episode where she breastfed. The couple who were living in the car for a few days, and be-bopping houses. I forget her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999781 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 12:34:59 +0000 lady baltimore 1999781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thing that always got to me was that all the moms on !6&amp;P were constantly worried about money and griping about the cost of formula. Even if they weren't motivated by the health benefits, could none of them see the financial upside to BFing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999664 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 11:07:45 +0000 cascademom 1999664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I read Teen Mom Junkies too much. The commentary on there is gold. Kaiser roll is one of the many nicknames for that poor kid. I guess it's good she at least attempted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999660 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 11:02:44 +0000 lawbee11 1999660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: LOL @ Kaiser roll!! She may not still be BF. I know she did in the beginning but she may have stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999648 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 10:50:48 +0000 cascademom 1999648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Was she the one with the eating disorder who still wanted to attempt breastfeeding? I know Kailyn does. I'm surprised about Jenelle since there's a ton of rumors where she drops off baby Kaiser roll to his parents all the time. To be nursing an infant requires mom and child to be near each other often if not all of the time. I'm just really surprised on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999563 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:38:23 +0000 lawbee11 1999563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Yes, Katie! That's the one whose name I couldn't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999562 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:37:54 +0000 lawbee11 1999562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kailyn BF her second son (they actually showed her struggle with a nursing strike on the show). She's a big BF advocate and tweets about it. I don't think Jenelle BF Jace, but she's currently BF her second son. And there was one girl on Teen Mom 3 who BF but I don't remember her name...Mollie's mom. Ok, obv I know way too much about Teen Mom :silly: BF rates tend to increase with age and income, so it's not terribly surprising. I know the ones who have BF have gotten a lot of support from viewers for doing so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999561 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:37:50 +0000 Ra 1999561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I think I saw something on FB the other day that showed Janelle breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999559 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:36:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 1999559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Yes!

I think her name was Katie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999555 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:34:35 +0000 avivoca 1999555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are still a lot of places in this country where breastfeeding is not encouraged. Plus, when you are 16 and in school, it's not like you get pumping breaks either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999554 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:34:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 1999554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think chelsea wanted to, and attempted after they brought her home, but Aubree was premature and they gave her formula at the hospital so she really didn't have a good start. </p> <p>I noticed that too after I got pregnant. Haha. You're right though. It isn't a good example to set, but they aren't exactly role models either. But it is their choice.<br /> No judgement though on FF use. My son was 9 months BF and is now FF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-notice-how-no-one-ever-breastfeeds-on-16-and-pregnantteen-mom-shows#post-1999546 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:22:11 +0000 pmrlady 1999546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never paid attention to it before but now that I'm pregnant myself, I began noticing how all the young moms on those shows always give bottles right away and don't even seem to try bfing... I know it's their choice but the fact that they all seem to do it isn't very encouraging to other women who might be watching. Any thoughts? </p>
