I was impressed too. I googled it and saw kailyn on teen mom 2 also breastfeed but MTV never aired those scenes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066333 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 22:58:19 +0000 Boheme 1066333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's impressive! The odds are really stacked against them in respects to BFing, so that's huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066326 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 22:52:06 +0000 deerylou 1066326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was definitely impressed. DH looked over when I was watching it the other night, and said, "Well, slap me silly, is a teen mom breastfeeding?" </p> <p>That being said, every single couple is a train wreck, this season. Oy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066320 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 22:48:08 +0000 birdofafeather 1066320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched a 16 and pregnant and one of the girls had her pump stuff and both DH and I were impressed! So tough and its awesome that they would commit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066078 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:29:50 +0000 MrsF 1066078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Ditto. I really struggled and I only BF for 3 months with a supportive partner, etc. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I love that! I said "good for her!" and my DH (who was not paying attention) didn't get why I was so psyched. I said "well, I'm gonna tell the bees, they'll think it's cool". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066018 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:06:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 1066018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I saw her episode of 16 and pregnant and when I saw her breastfeeding I actually said out loud, good for you! (As I was watching while breastfeeding my babe). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066012 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:04:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1066012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad she decided to let the cameras film her BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066006 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:03:19 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1066006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, me too. Being a teen mom is hard enough; i'm glad she is doing what she feels is best for her babe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066002 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:02:34 +0000 MamaBehr 1066002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Teen Mom!!! I thought the same thing when I saw her nursing her daughter! Good for her :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1066000 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:01:24 +0000 matador84 1066000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't watched any episodes, but in working with teens at a school that has a high pregnancy rate, many are very discouraged breastfeeding because they have to go back to school after six weeks, get free formula from WIC anyway, and would have to leave class to pump in the nurses office. pretty big bummer for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1065998 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:01:08 +0000 lemondrop 1065998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Haven't watched the new ones yet though. I've always wondered about that though, and am happy to hear that others have too. </p> <p>It was so hard for me, and I had all of the support in the world, I feel so bad for the teens that don't have a supportive family or partner to help out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1065993 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:59:55 +0000 Vegmama 1065993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed a few of them have breastfed, and I've always thought that was pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1065991 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:58:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1065991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the new season on my DVR but haven't watched any episodes yet. I love Teen Mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1065986 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:58:02 +0000 Bao 1065986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for her!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/impressed-to-see-breastfeeding-on-teen-mom#post-1065980 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:56:15 +0000 MrsF 1065980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teen mom is a total guilty pleasure of mine. I've only ever seen moms bottle feeding on the show. I'm catching up on my DVR (and HB!) and noticing Katie on Teen Mom 3 nursing her daughter under a blanket. Now that I'm googling I see that others have BF, but not on TV. Looks like she nursed her daughter for 16 months and donated milk! As a 30 year old married woman who could hardly handle BF, I'm impressed. Nice to have some positive press for one of the young moms!</p> <p><a href="http://thestir.cafemom.com/baby/159781/teen_mom_stars_breastfeeding_experience" rel="nofollow">http://thestir.cafemom.com/baby/159781/teen_mom_stars_breastfeeding_experience</a></p> <p>Anyone else share my guilty pleasure? </p>
