how do you confront a mother who tries to force bottle feed

It's your child. You don't need to listen to her. Be calm with her and tell her you've chose to breastfeed. After awhile, she'll be happier to see the child than to disagree with you over the way your feeding her.

Really, if its not your kid you should just keep your mouth shut. What you feel might be forcing might just be her normal way of doing things.
Unless it is clear that she is doing this out of anger and is honestly harming the child, i wouldnt say anything. If you feel that the new mother has issues and is doing this due to anger, or seems to be getting mad while doing this, maybe you should speak to some of her close relatives about it first, let them handle it.

I assume you mean she tries to force it on you- otherwise its NOYB. If she's trying to push you to bottle feed, I'd just explain to her that, like herself, you are free to, and in fact obligated to, make the choices you feel are best for your own child.

I'm not sure I understand ur question. Is it your child and someone is trying to get u to bottle feed? Or is someone aggressively feeding their baby?
If it is your baby, then tell them to butt out, it is your baby u will feed them as u see fit.
If it is not ur baby....then refer to the latter, unless they are hurting the baby.

Tell her that America suffers from a large percentage of obese people and it is a horrible life to create for your child - he/she didn't asl for that.
