DING!!!! You get a ring on the door at O'dark thirty from some fat lady with a 19 month old in a sling hanging off her boob handing out pamphlets claiming if you don't breastfeed your baby will catchTB, acidosis, arsenic poisioning, cerebella ataxia, cystitis, Yaws, and Heaven knows what else. Just for the record, may baby has had none of the above, or even a common cold. I am just wondering if they are going to start door to door service since they are always at the Y handing out their unwanted pamphlets. But hey, they make one hell of a window cleaner with a little windex and some elbow grease.

I don't feel GUILTY about $hit. I DO however feel angry that you silly twits think you and your progeny are better than me and mine. Last I checked, GOD made all men equal. Get over yourselves, the guilt argument is lame and played as a old carney pony. Lay it to rest already.

There needs to be a way to DELETE unwanted responses, like the flower child with the smart mouth. Burn in patchouli and a pyre of low-grade hemp. PLEASE.

I think every woman should be allowed to make her own choices regarding how to feed her children. I don't have a problem with breastfeeding moms or bottle feeding moms. What I have problems with is people like Brenda B. on here trying to talk a bunch of sh*t about bottle feeding moms. I mean, really!! Why is she so worried about how everybody else feeds their children? I have read some of her stuff and it's psychotic and delusional and it's people like her that make bottle feeding moms so defensive. If it wasn't for crap like that there wouldn't even be a debate about it.

I just read all three of your questions, and the answers to each, and I really didn't find that anybody judged you for your decision to formula feed.... Relax, okeedokee? : )
The antibodies in the mothers milk does sort of boost the baby's immune system in the first months, and there is evidence that breastfed babies get less ear infections, etc., but breastfeeding doesn't work for everybody, and that's okay... Formula fed babies do just fine.... I think there are very few people out there who would pass judgement on you for this... Just relax and feed your baby the way that suits you best!! Good Luck! : )

I agreed with you that breastfeeding shouldn't be shoved down a persons throat but what you are doing with all your questions is exactly what you hate in breastfeeding Nazi's. You are trying to make mothers who breastfeed feel bad for doing it. Why can't it just be a mum feeds her baby the best way possible for the baby and mum combined without all the negativity from either side.

You say "God made all man equal" Yep and thats why he gave you those boobs,to put them to use to grow healthy babies not prance around in a t-shirt that a size 2T and says "cutie" with your breasts hanging out trying to gain the attention of every low life guy at the mall...which by the way if their mothers would have breastfed them wouldnt be so obsessed with boobs...they got robbed and are now spending their grown lives trying to fill that void.

gosh all three of your questions today are spitting venom! maybe you are a tad bit uneasy about your choices or maybe angry that you feel judged by society for our choices?? any ways they do have anger management classes that could help with all that hostility! and yes the la leche league will come to your house if you invite them. they do house calls for milk supplies and education! its really not good for your health or that of your families health to be subjected to such venom. creates a toxic household. learn to calm yourself and not let others words or opinions control your moods.
i guess maybe the truth hurts! by the way patchouli is great! but for you i would say try some sandalwood for clarity of mind or maybe some lavendar for its calming effect.
P.s. if there was a way to delete unwanted answers ... what would be the point of this site???
we all have different ideas about life and we all have our own choices to make. my words are not meant to anger you... just to give you another perspective. i don't feel superior because i made the choice to BF and i am not a boob nazi! I just feel you should not allow others to anger you so deeply!

I've read all your questions and you are one angry woman! It's best to get over it before the baby wakes up in the morning as babies can sense when there is tension and it upsets them. I know you love your baby and want the best for him so calm down and get over it. Life will bring many people who do not believe as you do in many areas of life. Is this how you deal with all opposition?

i breastfeed and i see nothing wrong with you formula feeding that is your choice i know there are bf'ers out there that think they are better because of it but they need to get off their high horse cause come on aren't there worse things then sticking a bottle in a babies mouth? YES there are . you are taking care of your baby end of story
p.s. hello people that say that nasty crap, you are doing exactly what we want to get rid of towards us. feed your baby and quit worrying bout how others feed theirs. try to educate but do not condemn them........

It is normal for a formula feeding mother to attack her enemies due to her insecurities and guilt for giving her child nasty crap. WE are better than you in every way and we have better children than you. You should've breastfed so you wouldn't be such an angry parent. You and your child are just inferior to us and nothing will ever change that. Get it through your head, you are a horrible mother for not breastfeeding and we have better and more beautiful children than yours.
