I can't believe all the crap I've been given because of my earlier post.I've been a member since 2011 and rarely post because of these type attacks.Just because my views on bf v ff are different is no reason for me to be attacked,bullied and insulted. Some of the responses completely blew me away. I was just an upset mother posting for advice and you all attacked for no reason at all. I did not post to incite guilt from formula feeding moms. Ifyou formula feed and feel guilty possibly you should examine your self. Perhaps you know it isn't what is best or nature intended,so to validate your decision you feel the need to bash others and talk up how your child is doing so well despite not receiving bm. As I said before I am firmly behind my thoughts on formula and I would never choose that for my child, what you do with your child I don't care.

With comments like these it's probably a good thing you don't post much.  You come across as a sanctimonious bitch.

Lol this poster can't really be real? I mean really?

Btw to the one who posted the fresh prince of belair lyrics, it was 2 pages ago so I don't remember the screen name but WINNING!!

On the off chance this poster is real, when DH and I try for #2, I might not even consider breastfeeding and just go straight to formula. And I promise my child will STILL be better off than yours. Chew on that.

Apparently you do care, otherwise you wouldn't have posted anything. Hold on, let me get you some cheese to go with your whine.

Maybe nature didn't intend on people leaving their babies in the hands of paid workers while they go off and work on their careers.  How would you feel if someone said "Well, I would NEVER leave my baby in the care of someone else. I would rather sacrifice my career than let my baby go to a daycare-what's BEST FOR HER is for me to stay home as her primary care giver. It's neglectful and abusive to just leave your child for hours on end all day"

 

Pretty sure you would have a bitch fit. Anyways, here's a million other "studies" that say breast isn't always best, or that breast is best is a load of horse crap

 

https://www.babble.com/baby/benefits-of-breastfeeding-baby-formula-feeding/

 (Breastfeeding advocates, meanwhile, argue that the sheer number of studies connecting breastfeeding with healthier babies makes the benefits of breastfeeding irrefutable. What they don’t mention is that lots of studies, including many published in top research journals, find that breastfeeding has little or no medical benefit. [See, among others, Catharine Gale et. al., "Breastfeeding, the Use of Docosahexaenoic Acid-Fortified Formulas in Infancy and Neuropsychological Function in Childhood," Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2009; and Michael S. Kramer et. al., "Effect of Prolonged and Exclusive Breastfeeding on Risk of Allergy and Asthma: Cluster Randomized Trial," British Medical Journal, 2007.] )

 

https://www.slate.com/blogs/how_babies_work/2013/03/20/the_science_of_breast_milk_latest_research_on_nursing_and_milk_vs_formula.html

 

( I write about how, contrary to myth, not nursing has never been a death sentence. Hundreds of years before halfway-decent formula, infants were fed gruesome substitutes for breast milk (mushed bread and beer, say)—and although many more died than those who were nursed, many also survived. So the lesson of the new science of milk isn’t that formula is some sort of modern evil. (It isn’t modern or evil.) It’s that milk is really complicated)

 

https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/23/the-ideal-and-the-real-of-breast-feeding/?_r=0

(no randomized, controlled trials — the gold standard of scientific research — have proved that breast-fed babies fare better, at least in industrialized countries)

You were the one who started with the judgment. You cannot say out one side of your mouth "nothing against people who..." and out the other side "feed poison to their child, that poison is not touching my child's lips". I BF, and I BF my first son also, but did he get formula when at 9 months old HE decided that he was no longer going to nurse? Hell yes. He refused to latch, he'd pull off and scream, after months of happily nursing.  I pumped and pumped away and my body could not keep up with his requirements at that age, after being used to him feeding much more efficiently than my pump would provide. They get their own little personalities you see, I sincerely hope you are just a naive FTM, and I hope that your LO doesn't decide to have other plans for you before their 1st birthday, or that you have better luck than I did. Best of luck to you.

Oh give me a break! We are upset because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I was formula fed and against all odds I not only finished high school, I got a university degree and an accounting designation and I'm a very successful accountant! SHOCKING! I am also extremely healthy and have never had health problems.

Just read this post.. good point. I was FF also and I graduated with the highest graduating average in my program at my University with a degree in Mathematics and Statistics with a minor in Computer Science. I probably ate my share of twinkies back in the 80's too. I have no health problems, am not over weight and generally doing pretty dandy.

Normally, I think chicks on these forums are rude and cruel with the things they say sometimes but you kind of dug your own grave and deserve every harsh word you got. I was FF and I'm pretty sure I'm doin just fine. In fact, I'm adopted and was taken away from my bio mother at 7 months because she was a drug addict. If there was ever anything she did RIGHT, it was to FF me.

costa2011

Yep you're right. You know it all. You know so much you don't need The Bump. After all, we're just a bunch of advice seeking moms around here and you clearly don't need any advice, you know everything about everything.

I don't feel guilty about feeding my child formula...I feel proud, hence the badge below. What I do feel though, is you're the only jerk here.

Or it's because you're an uptight...

How do you expect people who are adopted/in foster care to be fed? I mean I understand breastfeeding is the preferred method, but feeding your child is feeding them. It's not what your feeding them(as far as BF and FF are concerned) I was adopted as had to be fed formula. Some women just have a hard time having babies, let alone feeding one. Be thankful you succeeded at both and grow the fuck up and get over yourself. Your child is no better than any other child out there. So quit acting like it. Tell the daycare you didn't appreciate it, move on and love your baby instead of freaking out over every little god blessed thing! Your missing the fun part.

Umm or you should examine yourself! You did outright attack FF and you did make moms feel crappy as they posted, you want everyone to hug you and pat your head and say how you're right go to babycenter I hear they love crap like that.

Your posted was titled "Am I being unreasonable."  Some people told you that, yes, you were, and you didn't like it.  So, for that reason, I call bullshit on this whiney post.  Don't ask for people's opinions if you only want to hear that what you did was right and that your opinions are beyond rigid and downright offensive to some, which you continue to do in this post. 

I happen to be a FF mom because I never was able to produce close to enough for my children.  My first has thrived and I have no bad feelings about her nutrition or that of my son, but I do find it ironic that you refuse to see how you might offend other FF moms, when you yourself claim offense at those that tell you to get off your high horse about a few servings of formula.

Don't like it?  Allow me to show you the way out.  Otherwise, grow up and put on your big girl panties the next time you so much as think about writing posts like either of these.

I really like the way you reply !!! Can I be your friend !!
