  Yeah, it is pretty insane. Parenting is hard enough...why the crazy pressure on ourselves and other mothers to be perfect all the time? Why the need to put other women down just because they make different decisions than you? I just don't get it. All I care about is that kids are well fed, loved and cared for. That is what is important.

  Seriously. Just feed your kid! Formula, breast milk... Who cares!
  
  Don't let people make you feel like crap. They're not worth it and that attitude will catch up with them.

  Oh, my dear, sweet Migraine.....  You can't throw terrible insults around about how terrible formula is and then say "I never said I didn't care if they were feeding their kid formula."  It doesn't work that way.  Bless your heart.

  I would like to say to all the ladies who came to the defence of us FFing moms... Thank you! Truly, thank you! We shouldn't have to defend our reasons for FFing. Whether we can't BF or it is our choice to use formula, the judgement from this woman was over the top.

  
  

  Like many of us said, FFing wasn't a choice for me. It was a necessity. I can not produce BM. I don't have the necessary breast tissue. I struggle with this every single day! However, my child is getting fed with a good and nutritious alternative and there is nothing wrong with that.

  
  

  Where I live, it is very difficult to get donor milk, plus, I don't want too! It's for NICU babies and babies that really need it.

  
  

  So again, thank you! It's nice to know that you ladies also think that no matter what, it's important to feed our babies!

  I just want to add...

  
  

  I FF.  By choice.  I BF'd DS briefly- my supply was good, his latch was good, all was going fine.  I stopped because I WANTED to, because it was the best choice for me and I am happier this way.

  
  

  Not everyone uses FF as a last resort, and not everyone feels guilty about it.  Believe it or not, some people who are capable of BFing still choose to use formula.  I don't feel guilty at all.  Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

  Yep, add me to that list! FF from day 1!

  
  I EPed until I went back to work and decided I couldn't keep up with it, I was having crying break downs every day and spending so much time obsessing over it that I just had to stop for my sanity! Now DD is FF and I feel a million times better.

  I tried BFing and was really upset when my supply tanked.  I beat myself up for it but now that we are FF, I feel better.  I'm less stressed and my baby is still thriving!
