Thanks for sparing me the rant. I get annoyed with women who chose not to breastfeed but I try not to judge them too harshly. I don't know the full extent of the situation.
Although I am tired people assuming I don't plan to breast feed and give me a lecture on the benefits.
...but I cannot understand how anyone who knows you IRL would assume you were not planning on breastfeeding, what with the way you live your life...that is bizarre, and would be incredibly annoying, I'd imagine.
May I be so bold as to ask why you get annoyed with women who choose not to breastfeed. I mean does THEIR CHOICE have any impact on your life.. Whether women breast feed or not you still have to pay your mortage/rent. xx
Be bold, as long as you don't mind the same in return.
While it's true that some woman can't physically feed their child for a variety of reasons. I don't believe society should encourage it. You can call it a choice, but for me it isn't one. It is part of the whole gig. And I don't believe women who choose this route are following instinct. This is what our bodies were made to do. You don't have to do it, and I don't want you to feel bad for your choices. But I really don't understand why you wouldn't want to do this. A baby's cry can make a nursing mother lactate. That should tell you that breast feeding is the obvious reaction to that reality. Feeding formula to an infant should not be normal. This is not food. It's the bare minimum required to produce a viable life. It's like an adult drinking protein drinks and supplements instead of eating an actual meal. This is fine for temporary use, but not how we should nourish our bodies.
No I don't mind you being bold at all. If I can give it then I sure as hell have to take it and I have no problem in doing so.
Breastfeeding is just not for me though and sorry in advance but there is no way in hell that I would be comfortable breastfeeding public.
I find it quite sickening (on a personal level) before I am flamed. Reason being is one minute you could be having sex/sexual contact and your breasts being touched and then the next minute you have your baby suckling on the very same breasts that you (collective) may use for sexual pleasure. I am sorry but again on a personal level that I something I would not be comfortable with.
Just because I did not breast feed does not make me a bad mum. xx
I don't think you are a bad mum. Many people have the same hangups with breastfeeding. These hangups didn't always exist and I wonder at what point in time did society start to think it was weird?
It matters to society as a whole since breastfed babies are MUCH healthier for life.
What does it say about a woman who chooses to do something that goes against what is best for her baby?
Tax money pays for women to choose not to breastfeed. This is outrageous! Food Stamps and WIC shell out millions for baby formula for people who have no medical reason for not breastfeeding. Many on food stamps and WIC don't even work, or don't work much, so they certainly have the time to breastfeed.
~ALSO~
Would you advocate smoking in the room with a baby? Of course not. But what does that matter to you? It's not your room or your baby. Who cares? See? It does matter. It IS other people's business when it comes to the health of helpless children. You can certainly make a judgement based on the choices people make for their children's health.
I am just saying breast feeding is not for me, that's all. My daughter has not grown up unhealthy and the world did not come crashing down because I chose not to breast feed. You can feel free to try and make me feel bad (well I can't really stop you can I) However it will not work as I am very assertive in my choices and my reasons behind my choices. x
Is it normal I detest moms who don't breastfeed?

I know I only know you over the internet...
