In @juliansmommy defense...there did used to be several moms on here who criticized formula feeding moms. And while I agree and all the proof out there says breast is best its not always best for everyone. And some moms try and for one reason or another it doesn't work. My 7 year old had to be put on formula because he couldn't tolerate my breastmilk...found out later he was lactose intolerant and because I was consuming dairy products it was hurting him. I had to stop nursing him at 5 months and I was heart broken. Felt like a failure...but I know that he did great on formula when we found one that worked.
I agree @tazedblondie ;-) but I think all of us breastfeeding mommy's might be a bit defensive right now because of the negative treatment we are getting in public and on here sometimes...but I really don't think @juliansmommy was trying to be negative. I reread her comment and don't think it was bad. I just wanna sing the song why can't we be friends! Lol
@ta2edblondie I agree. I have never seen a negative comment in this category and I don't recall ever making one. Sorry I don't mean to jump in on this or hijack the thread lol. I was just confused as we are here to support each other
So on the bf subject...today my 7 y/o was in a parade and my 4 month old got hungry and I stepped outta the crowd and looked for a place to sit, I sat on a small bench as a crowd of people pass by this guys tells his gf/wife how disgusting she needs to go else where with that nobody wants to see that, reffering to me. Right as my boyfriend was gonna tlk shit right back, this lil old lady btw she was in the same crowd as him says let her be she isnt bothering anyone and she can do what ever she wants ummm when u were that lil you never complained about it being disgusting you loved the boob lol...loved it!!! Way to go old lady...
I have never breastfed myself but I don't get why it bothers people so much...i actually didn't even know this was going on till I joined pregly lol. I have never known anyone in real life to have a problem with it
