Breastfeeding is a personal thing. You seem to have had a bad experience with people who advocate bf'ing.
I have 5 kids. I breastfed the first 2 for a year. The last 3 were either breastfed for a very limited period of time or not at all. There were various reasons for this. I know that breastfeeding is better, but sometimes bottlefeeding is an option that is not necessarily a "bad" one.
Coincidentally, or not, my kids who weren't breastfed as much are the ones who have more health problems. There was nothing I could do about it back then, and nothing I can do about it now.
If you're making a choice based in an informed decision, then it's no one's business to tell you what to do. You and your child will be the ones to deal with the consequences, whether they be good or bad.
Be comfortable with your own decision and let others make their own as well.

I think breastfeeding/bottle feeding is a personal choice. I bottle fed my first b/c I was a little scared to try nursing. My 2nd was a preemie so I expressed my milk and he was tube fed ... later bottle fed my milk. I did breast feed my daughter (#3) , I really enjoyed it and I miss it now. However , I was uncomfortable doing it infront of others and so I expressed for when we were in public or if we had company. I didn't and don't feel any more bonded to my 3rd child than I did/do my first 2. My first 2 are just as smart as my 3rd and they are all healthy. I just think it is a personal choice doing one over the other doesn't make anyone more or less of a mother. It doesn't mean one loves their children more than someone loves theirs , it just means that is what was right for that mother/child at that time. I think it is sad that so many breastfeeding moms judge bottle feeding moms or they think they just are not informed of the benefits. I think motherhood is hard enough without mothers judging eachother. My only advice to bottle feeding moms is don't let a breast feeder make you feel less than AND just b/c you bottle fed this one doesn't mean you may not want to try breast next time. You may find you prefer it... you may find you don't but it's nice to have the option.

Based on all of your on-going ranting posts I assume you've been given a hard time for not breast-feeding and/or not doing it for very long. I only did it for 6-9 months myself and am rather put off by those who do it beyond the time a child would have been weaned if they were bottle fed. However your obnoxious manner is just as bad as someone who'd accost people in the formula aisle as you mentioned previously.

You shouldn't be so angry. You'd get better responses if you were to cool down a bit. And if you really want advice, patience is your best bet. Things take time... you're an animal just the same, and breastfeeding is natural, not something to prance around and be proud of in front of people. Anger makes it all worse.
Sorry to sound so liberal.

A mother and child who nurse have a relationship that no one else can even imagine, unless you yourself have experienced it. I personally couldn't nurse until 6, but I nursed both my kids combined for 5 1/2 years straight. I don't think I'm better than anyone for it, but I am damn proud of it.

Yeah, get a therapist and up your meds a little more. Also, give custody of your daughter to a more stable and loving person, you are obviously 1 beer short of a six pack and have major issues.

Breast is best
Bottle food is better than no food
Cows milk is for baby cows
Soy milk is for baby soys

Yes we are better. I plan on nursing my daughter until she goes to college. I might continue if her dorm allows me to stay there.

You want to BF for 6yrs? You know this for sure? I wouldn't worry about it until you have some BF time 'under your belt'
