I do remember getting many a dirty look for my choice though. Yep, I am a bad mom because I chose to bottle feed rather than breast. I won’t explain why I made my choice because it is no one’s business but my own and my husband’s.

I got really stressed about it at first, being a new mum, then in the end ahh stuff it and did what I thought was right and it was the best thing ever!

As Mums we should support each other in the decisions we make & not criticise.

Whenever I hear people stressing over this I always say the same thing, in months time people have moved on and are worrying about something else. It’s not worth the worry – do what is best for you and your family and who cares what others think!

I don’t think it matters either. People probably think I’m a militant breastfeeder because I am still feeding my girl at almost 9 months and if anyone suggests formula I get a bit tetchy but, thats not because I don’t like or agree with formula. It’s because I formula fed my son and challenged myself to feed my little girl until she was one as I was able to establish feeding with her. I’m stubborn so I have stuck with it and tried every trick in the book to make it easy and practical for us both.
I certainly wouldn’t push my opinions on others and even if I did I don’t have one, my son is perfectly healthy and solid as is my daughter so I’m happy either way! 🙂

I guess an article of women supporting each other and and understanding and respecting am others choices just doesn’t make ‘good news’. Daft !

I do what’s best for me and my children, and I really haven’t got time to worry about what others are doing!

My only disappointment in breastfeeding is that it is never really shared about how hard it is and the boobs dont have a marketing budget so formula is always given more press. perhaps if more time is spent before birth pre warning about mastitis and thrush and cracked nipples us mums would start out breatfeeding journey with our eyes wide open.

I remember at 6 weeks with my youngest child feeding from a cracked nipple asking a health visitor if it got easier – she responded she didnt know as she had never breast fed but she would hope so. It did get easier and I am glad I stuck at it but not through any help of the medical service sadly.

So I agree either works, it is personal choice but as a country we also need better education.
