I'm not able to BF and get pressure from many sides. My brother likened formula to poison. Rad. DD is fine and is certainly not dumb. *eyeroll*

We fed our children store brand formula and they're healthy and super smart. I had a lot of trouble BFing DD that I didn't even want to try with DS. I'm sure I had some depression because of the struggle of BFing and pressure I got from certain people to not give up. I will likely FF with #3 also. My husband works nights and will take care of baby during the day. It's just easier for us.

I breastfed my son for 20 months because it worked for us. If someone breastfeed 20 days, or never tries, or breast feeds until their kid is 4 that's cool too! Whatever works best for each individual family is what needs to be done. No two situations are identical and only the family can make the call on where there going. Do I think breast is best? Of course, that's why I did it. That doesn't make it best for everyone though. People are crazy

What if I give my baby Diet Coke?

I kid, I kid.

This is spot on.

I will never in my life understand all the mom shaming that goes on. I love this! Read that in a facebook article the other day!

Mom shaming exists (in part) because it's a grown up version of how mean girls act on the playground. Women are mean to each other. It starts so early and this is just an extension of it.

LOVE this!!!!!!!! I tried so hard with my DS. I tried for 2 months. The doc gave me med that was supposed to increase milk production and I would pump every 2 hours, no matter what I was doing. So, while DH got to feed DS I was stuck in a chair hooked up like a dairy cow. I was getting so much pressure that I refused to give up. It took doc and DH in the office, as I bawled, telling me that if my body wouldn't do it I am not a bad mom. I cried for weeks after that. I had a friend try to shame me at a party a few weeks later and DH lit into her like no other. I I think some of the shaming comes from assumptions that we just made a decision not that we tried an were unable.

Love love love!!! I tried with DS and it was not easy on me. I do not plan on even trying with this baby because I cannot handle going thru that again. Other people are just going to have to get over it.

I'm a proud formula feeder. I was in a BRU store the other day and walked down the row of pumping supplies. I felt a rush of relief that I won't be going through what I did with dd this time. I've already gotten most of the possible stupid comments with my other two, so I could care less at this point.
