Bottles vs. Breast milk…no contest.
Bottles vs. Breast milk…no contest.
I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.

Ack I left a comment but the internet ate it. Quite amusing though.
I read it. While I found it kind of amazing, and for the most part, true, I didn’t see the “moms who want to breastfeed but aren’t able to” point of view, nor did I see that as a possibility. I saw “if you don’t breastfeed, you are a bad mother, whether you can or not” and actually, one of the comments read “Prepare for a boat load of comments my friend. This blog has been forwarded to a couple breastfeeding communities and I think the ladies will come over here and say thanks for putting a funny spin on this topic.
As for the bottlefeeders that will come and tell you that you’re making them feel guilty waaaaaa, and that you paint a bad picture of bottlefeeding are just feeling guilty for making the wrong ‘choice’ about using formula. And then the will go on to say that they had a *cough* medical *cough* issue that stopped them from breastfeeding. blah blah blah, excuses excuses.
Breastfeeding is not a choice, it’s a birthright.” I know you didn’t post that, but for me, there actually WAS a medical reason. I wasn’t producing enough, and Sophia wasn’t gaining. While I think the article was well-written, I don’t think it left the door open to other possibilities, which I would have liked to see.
I think it was a fantastic blog! Thanks for sharing it!
