Okay this is just a little bit of venting but I've been reading different posts and comments on breastfeeding and don't get me wrong I think it's a wonderful, beautiful thing. I would never say anything negative about breastfeeding or even suggest that it's not a good choice for anyone, so why is it okay for breastfeeding mom's to say that the only reason a mother should not breastfeed is if she has a medical condition that prevents her from doing so? I formula fed both of my girls. Breastfeeding was uncomfortable for me and awkward. My girls were and still are, happy, healthy, well adjusted and very attached to me. I'm not saying that there's not a special bond with breasfeeding, however I don't think that anyone can say that they have a closer bond with their children than I have with mine. Or that the way I chose to feed them as infants makes me less of a mother or person. I have certain opinions about child rearing but my biggest one is do what works for you!!! Trust me if you make the wrong decision no one will have to suffer the repercussions more than you. If your child is out of control because you chose not to use good discipline or if you have a 5 year old in between you and your husband every night you are going to have to deal with those situations. But back to the main issue I just think it's wrong to be so harsh about formula feeding. I have never felt guilty for they way I fed my girls. They are perfectly healthy and very well behaved (well most of the time lol) little girls. I think there are benefits to both choices and that they should both be respected by both sides........Okay and on a totally different note, my boyfriend and I just moved into a rent house!!! YAY!! I feel like a grown up! I never thought that I would be able to give my girls a house and a yard. It is just as special as I dreamed it would be.
