Can I send this to my SIL (FFs especially come in!)

  I wouldn't especially because she admitted to you that she feels insecure about FF or telling people that. I think it's too new for her if you know what I mean.

  Yeah, I don't know if I would either. However, I did just share it with all of my FB friends

  No, I wouldn't.  She will focus on the BF part. 

   

  Not a bad article, but I think you can have a compassionate child even if you don't BF and have a natural childbirth.

  Thanks, my instincts said not to do it but I was still a bit torn because I liked a lot in the article.  I won't send it.

  If she didn't say she was feeling insecure, then it would probably be OK to send.

  I couldn't BF, but my DD is quite attached to DH & I.  There is a lot more to AP...as you know...than just BFing.

  It depends.  I FF and I'm really sensitive about it, still trying to come to terms with it (read all about it on Fearless Formula Feeder if you'd like lol, I'm today's guest poster), but I love this article.

  If she is AP-minded, she might feel the same way.  I read this and thought, Yay, I've got 5/6! 

   

  Thank you for sharing.

  that's why i would send it. and say "hey, there's a bit about BF in here, but skip those parts. I wanted you to see the other parts of this article because they're really helpful."

  Formula is not the f-word ;-)

  I certainly agree with this.  I don't think how you gave birth could possibly matter in this situation and while BFing can help with bonding, it is certainly not the end all be all.  The message of the article to me was that being compassionate to your child (meeting their needs, close contact, etc.) would help your child be compassionate with others.

  Hi Quazel!  I'm a FF and still feel like I need to justify it to people so I think I can get where your SIL is coming from.  I honestly think the article might sting a little bit at this point and I wouldn't send it to her just yet.  I think it's a great article and I enjoyed it, but I think you should wait to send it to her.
