First of all, no one should be judging her unless you’ve walked in her shoes…first time mom with twins. Unless you’ve been in that position personally, you need to keep it zipped with respect to the decisions she’s made.

Choosing to breastfeed or not to breastfeed is a very personal decision and why do we as mothers feel it’s necessary to give a REASON as to how we are going to feed our babies.

I know a couple of mothers who breastfed and did NOT have the best of intentions when choosing to do so. One particular mom was drinking beer as she breastfed (a friend of my sister’s). I’m sure she was trying to provide the best, most natural food for her baby(NOT!).

Another person whom I work with breastfed her first and will most definitely breastfeed her second one which is on the way. She smokes pot. Nice!

Some people choose to breastfeed not because it’s best, but because it’s convenient and free.

Or there is the nurse that breastfed her daughters past the first year, but then you see her first child at the age of two with a can of Coke in her hand.

People make me sick with their self-righteous attitudes. It is clear that SOME people choose to breastfeed for other reasons.

I myself, chose to f.f. my son and my daughter(my 2nd)was breastfed for a week.
Both are super-healthy, if not healthier, and having less ear infections than some of my friends children who have breastfed for a year or longer…go figure.
A lot of what the studies say is a load of crap…most of these issues surrounding health, obesity, intelligence are linked to genetics, environment, and socio-economic status.

obviously none of you know any first time moms. lol! they all act like this, never mind ones almost 40! lots of women choose not to breastfeed. never mind twins. it is NOT easy. I breastfed 4 kids (set of twins were my 3 and 4) for a year each but my first was a lot of work and crying before it was easy. having a mom who breastfed was a big help and those whose mom’s didn’t breastfeed have a much harder time. I don’t know where she says that breastfeeding is not the best. I can see where it is implied, but if you take another look at that it seems as if she’s saying that breastfeeding as a whole wasn’t the best for “her”, not that it wouldn’t be the best form of food for her babies. Even being a breastfeeding advocate I was convinced that I would bottle feed the twins because I didn’t think I could manage it. Until they came and I realized how easy it was…..since I had just breastfed two other children who were 2 and 3 at the time. I ended up weaning them from the bottle to my breast full time (I initially did both thinking I would do 1/2 and 1/2) when they were 10 days old because it was such a hassle to try to make bottles all the time. But if I had 20 people ready to make bottles at a whim or someone to watch my other kids so I didn’t have to deal with their wanting a drink every time I made a bottle or wanting to feed the bottle to the babies…… or the money to buy premade formula in a bottle……who knows what I would have done. As far as her body goes……it will never be the same…..giving birth changes every woman’s body. Why shouldn’t she want to be back in shape? She is slimmed already because she practically works out for a living so her body was in top shape to begin with. Everyday mothers who are naturally thin or workout divas slim down just as fast too. And trust me……..if I could pay $75,000 for a personal trainer to get me in shape after I gave birth…….in a heartbeat. Don’t let any mother tell you otherwise! I have no idea why people have c-sections today. I had two vaginal births and a “forced” (as I like to say) c-section with the twins. B was spinning and stuck his darn umbilical cord out. Vaginal birth with no drugs is the way to go. I had drugs with my first and not with my second and the recovery and energy level with my second was so much better. I am still recovering from the c-section 1.5 years later. Would never have consented if I knew what I know now. Have no idea why people are being fed misinformation that c-section is the way to go.

@Lili…I am with you! She is an embarrassment to Latina’s. This is why the Latin Community basically boycotted her “Spanish” album, because she would allow Spanish distributors to sell her CD’s only “Sony” had exclusive rights, instead of trying to reach out to more of the Latin communities and letting other Latin distributors help promote her more.

I have no respect for her, because everything is always done at everyone’s expense but her own! These babies are just the same. Nobody is arguing that she should or should not breastfed, but when she makes hideous statements like “doing what is best” she ought to consider what the hell she is saying….running a damn marathon don’t mean crap to small babies…

If she wants her twins to be proud of her and Skeletor, she should donate most of her outlandish and overt gifts or auction them off to benefit a Latina or community organization like Nicole Richie and Maddsen did…SMDH! Then her children can grow up as proud of their heritage, not knowing that mommy and daddy are sell outs!

I can’t stand Jlo…she gives Latinas a bad rep. The babies are hideous, they look just like their father. Of all the handsome men she slept with, she HAD to get knocked up by no other than Skelefug. Hmmmm…maybe she’s trying to get back at Affleck for ditching her. By the by, her “Spanish” album is an embarrassment! She speaks, pronounces Spanish like the ghetto bimbo she is. She’ll always be Jenny from the Bronx.

If people have the time in their lives to be upset with how Jennifer Lopez spends her time after the birth of her children and what she chooses to feed them, perhaps these people need more to do with their time. Seriously, to be disturbed that the hired a trainer and wants to run a triathalon, lol! Who cares enough to actually be upset and trash her?

breastfeeding is NOT a death sentence for your boobs! and she’s doing it cause she doesn’t ‘want to commit.

someone should tell her it burns a crap load of calories and then maybe she’ll reconsider.

if a woman doesn’t breastfeed because she can’t its one thing but for a woman to say that its best for her babies that she doesn’t…. is ignorant! UGG!

People do notcut Jlo any slack. Jlo had twins! breastfeeding in itself presents problems to some with only one child and I cannot imagine what it is like attempting to breast feed two children. Just because they are twins does not mean they are going to breast feed at the same time and eat the same amount.While breast feeding multiples is possible we cannot deny that it present special challenges. Also for all we know she has a medical condition or is taking medication which will make breast feeding impossible.At the very least she is honest. Personally,I do not believe most of these hollywood stars that claim to be breast feeding their children.
