I Formula Feed

Mon, 07-07-2008 - 7:50pm
I chose to formula feed my daughter. I love her with all my heart, and am a great mother (contray to what other mothers will say because I didn't BF). I gave my daughter the best 9 months of my life when pregnant...eating healthy, excerising, quit smoking, quit drinking, yada yada yada and I give her everything in this world now but yes I was selfish and formula fed and do not regret one second of it. I'm sorry that my husband, mother, sister can help with feedings and make a bottle themselves... I can go out for a night and not worry about having a glass of wine or I can go to the mall and not have to whip my boob out in the middle of the common area. And my daughter is extemely healthy and happy. I don't think Im going to hell because I formula feed nor do I feel I am a bad parent. My husband and I agreed formula was the way to go for us. I'm sure there are plenty of things BF'ing mothers do that other parents wouldn't agree with but that doesnt mean you should be crucified for it. I think other mothers should get off their high horse about bf'ing and realize its just not for everyone and you're not

My sister was FF, and she turned out just fine, in fact she has a PhD...despite the ridiculous claims that people on this board make about how a baby will turn out "stupid" or have a low IQ if they are formula fed.



LMAO!

Funnily enough it is almost always FFers themself claiming that that is said. I've yet to read one BFer say that a FFed child will be stupid except perhaps TIC in response to some bantering on the board between regulars...


Oh, she knows that.

A mother's duty is to her child.

"I didn't say I didn't believe the risks. I just choose to live my life not worrying about the risks of everything. I would rather enjoy what life has to offer."

Interesting that you would then spend time on a debate board where those risks are discussed. More power to you if you dont want to know them, but you cant really expect them not to be discussed here.
