Nobody was preaching. But you are grossly generalizing and speaking like you know what's true for everyone. A lot of women quit because they feel like they have no support or they don't know that it's quite common to struggle. All I was doing was encouraging people to look into all the help there is. And I do know how having to pump is awful and takes all the convenience and bonding out of breastfeeding. But here I see the problem with that we are forcing moms back into work when they should be home with their kids.
Just try your best, find support and if it doesn't work out then, nobody should feel guilty. Kids grow up fine, they might have a few more issues here and there, but what matters most is that they have a loving mom who cares.
