bottle or breast a minefield of emotion

posted 10th Feb
I am a mother who has been able to breastfeed my own children. While I am perfectly happy to have bfed both of my children, a recent article I read has brought to my attention just how things have reversed. I am finding more and more things stating just how wrong it is to formula feed, that the breast is best, and all that. This can leave a seriously negative impact on women who do not bfeed either by choice or necessity. I do not want to be the person who leaves a dark mark on another mother's heart simply due to her circumstances. I thought sharing this article with everyone may help all of us who may have some unfair thoughts towards bottlefeeding mothers to stop and look at some of the reasons for formula. I know this article has made me realize I have had misplaced judgemental feelings, as much as I would like to deny it, and I want to correct this in myself.

What a kind and thoughtful post  

It takes a big woman to recognize a fault in her thinking, and an even bigger one to actively try and make a difference. Big hugs to you, you rock!
