    Last week it was being extremely insensitive to the IF community. This week it's formula shaming. TB makes me want to day drink.

    I missed this but I'm not surprised. What did they say?

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

    I don't want to post here anymore. Can we go somewhere else? I want to delete my TB app and block their site. This is a new fucking low. Congratulations.

    Geesh! What a bogus list, and whoever coined the term boobalution should never be allowed to work on a marketing campaign again. I remember trying endlessly in the hospital with the lactation specialist to get my babe to latch but she never would. She just screamed at my boob like it was a terrifying beast. Continued trying when I got home, same result. Turned to pumping but wouldn't get more than an ounce in 30 minutes and that shit hurts! I tries for a few weeks and gave up. I was suffering from severe ppa, when we did formula feed with bottles Amelia (that's my babes name) would end up throwing up almost every time and she'd have a hard time doing so, I can still remember how terrified she looked when she was basically choking on her own vomit. I started panicking when I'd feed her, it got to the point that I couldn't feed her without having a panic attack. My poor SO too, flipped my shit on him so many times. Eventually I got a prescription for Zoloft and have been on it ever since. No need to term that crazy, it's a serious issue that should not be taken lightly and for everyone that has suffered or has dealt with issues after birth and throughout motherhood, hugs to you. We're all doing the best we can. Point to my story is that this shit is hard and people who trivialize it with dumb articles like this have absolutely no clue, so much so that they shouldn't be writing on the topic.

    Can someone give me some input before I send this e-mail please.  

    "The article "Top Ten Reasons to Breastfeed" is horribly offensive and borderline shaming those than cannot or choose not to breastfeed.  The use of the word "crazy" to describe PPD/PPA is asinine.  Ignoring the fact that most reasons listed are not indeed fact, the choice of wording alone is outrageous. Try reading it through the eyes of a mother instead of a corporation looking for views and monetary gain."
    I'm bad with twitter things and I think it's probably too long, but can you tweet this and tag the CEO, and The Bump, and whoever else you can think of.  If you do, we can all retweet it and MAYBE someone will actually listen.

    Er, supposedly there is a customer service phone number. I don't know what it is, only that it exists.
    I called and all I got was a bunch of static and a recording on the other end. I couldn't even make out what she was saying.

    Wow, add me to the list of those who had more anxiety and depression while trying to breastfeed. My little guy was only a couple of percentiles away from failure to thrive because I couldn't make enough milk for him. It is very clear from his monthly photos exactly when I decided to stop torturing both of us with failed attempts at breastfeeding and went to formula. He looked so much better after even a couple of weeks of getting as much as he needed.

    I'm all for empowerment and encouragement. But that is not what this is.

    Shame on The Bump for making FF moms feel so terrible.

    PS. My kid is almost 2 now. He has never been sick, is super healthy, and is using three word sentences. So much for sickly and lower IQ. ;)
