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

<<FF kids can not reach their biological potential because they were not given the 270 ingredients they needed that are missing from formula.>>

Here's a good explanation of what formula's missing:

So you're saying that formula is just a slight variation of breastmilk?

The issue with alcohol and pregnancy are so complicated and tragic - I just don't go there.

Oh, I'll try to keep it straight. I think of us all as one big family!

I thought we were all doing a pretty good job in this thread on the respectful post thing. A lively discussion is sometimes a good thing.

Yes and even the opinions of medical doctors have changed since I had my first child.

I'm not attacking anyone but am being called a liar for something, that I know has been said to me before on this board.

"My son has such baby-fine hair that you can hardly see his eyebrows, let alone his lashes! LOL"

I just barely discovered that my baby has eyebrows. You can only see them by looking at her profile.

No my logic is that something that is designed to feed children and has been thoroughly evaluated isn't unsafe.

Wouldn't it have been easier to switch to a soy based formula?
