Regardless of how you actually feed your own child, do you look down on mothers who choose to formula feed?

ColieAnn31 · February 2014

Really?

Who are you?

Lizzybizzy80 · February 2014

Not answering, lame.

ETA not clicking the button but FWIW of course I do not think negatively of choosing to use formula.

This is not what I meant by wanting more questions to be polls.

Your attempt to stir the pot has failed.

You came to the wrong board to stir up shit! It's all puppies and rainbows here :P

daffy2k · February 2014

Clearly, OP, you're on the wrong board. All the J13 babes have been on Pepsi for months

I like to start my baby's day with a nice bottle of luke warm coffee, with baileys creamer. It's his favorite. Then at lunch we move to something lighter like Cherry 7 up (gotta get the fruit in ya know) then his dinner bottle is always chocolate dr pepper from sonic and he demands 2 pumps of chocolate or he gets really pissy.

The clearness of Crystal Pepsi always weirded me out. It just threw me off.

@subliminalrabbit Do y'all have Sonic out there? You can add a million flavors to any drink and chocolate is one of the flavors! I always get a vanilla coke!

I only like vanilla coke if the vanilla flavoring is vanilla vodka

amberdt03 · February 2014

I only feed J dr pepper. @nursemommy13, I always get a cherry coke. Lol.

Edit: tag fail

@Subliminalrabbit -This! When I was younger I used to get cherry vanilla dr pepper. I tried it once recently and couldn't drink it. Holy sweetness!

I don't think less of them but I wish all women would try BFing. It was a HUGE struggle with me for DS1 as BF was very painful for the first 6 months. But I loved our bond and being able to provide for him. Now that it has been much easier with DS2, I wish everyone could have this experience and the smells/smiles/snuggles that come with it. I wish it was easy and uncomplicated so that mamas didn't have to make a choice.

Not every woman wants to BF and I've met several that have psychological blocks about it due to abuse or body image issues. Others just don't think of it as an option because they have never been around a BF mom.

As long as each mother/child team is working together so that baby is fed, it is not my place to pass judgement on their method. At least we now have a viable healthy option for infants.

GraceInCA · February 2014

I don't like to give my baby high fructose corn syrup, so it's Mexican Coke in her bottle ONLY. I totally judge you women who give your babies HFCS. In our house, it's 26 grams of good old fashioned cane sugar in that Tommee Tippie.

The first part of this really annoys me.

kanga1622Wed220857 · February 2014

Wow, I'm surprised that anyone was upset by my post and I apologize if you were.

I have loved BF and just wish that everyone could have a smooth BF experience if that is what they choose. I do not judge women that use formula. Formula or BF is a personal choice for every mom and she can make whatever decision she feels best for her family.

Again, I apologize if my post did not come across well. I will bow out so I don't inadvertently upset anyone again.

Monkeybutt80 · February 2014

Who cares how the others decide to feed their babies? BM or formula, at least they are feeding their babies.

Yah the first part of this made me stabby too. I hated BFing with DD2. HATED it. Every freaking second. It was painful. I never felt like I was bonding. In fact it made me resent her. But, because "Every woman should at least TRY", I felt like I was being a bad mom if I didn't at least TRY again with LO. It was just as awful as the last time. Unfortunately it's not easy for everyone. And, not everyone finds it to be this wonderful beautiful thing. I was significantly less depressed when I quit. It's great that it's great for you. And, I know you probably weren't trying to start a fight. But, it's statements like this that make women feel guilted into doing it and feeling like a failure if they can't do it. Rant over.

But see, I have an amazing bond with both of my boys and I provide for them, just in a different way. Also, if we're lacking in baby smells, smiles and snuggles, I'll eat a potty training toddler's underwear. Saying shit like this would be like me saying to a breastfeeder "Sucks your husband doesn't have a good bond with your baby and doesn't get the smells, smiles and snuggles."

Actually, I'd be pretty disappointed if I were this AE. No one's fighting and mostly it's a joke because we're an awesome group. It's an AEs worst nightmare lol

I think you did a pretty nice job of bringing back a peaceful demeanor (as you always do) before this thread went totally awry

I will not tolerate awry-going! :-p

What is this post!? And where the heck is OP?! And why is this actually spiraling into actual arguments? Lame. Let's move on ladies, and continue on giving our LOs chocolate Dr Pepper (whaaaat!?), soda, beer, grass, heck, how about some snow to give some liquid in natural earthy form. (har har to all... kidding... obv... seriously.. just feed your kids!)

I don't see this spiraling into actual arguments at all, actually. The only person getting crap is the OP and that's only because s/he is being a coward crap stirrer whose only goal was to make people feel bad. We didn't take the bait

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I should have tried to BF! I see my mistake now.

OP - this is weird. You're being weird. Stop that.
