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

Um, are you quoting yourself, and answering yourself too? I didn't pose the questions you are apparently answering. YOU did.

The point, once again, is that using formula introduces risk that doesn't have to exist. We don't all have the opportunity or ability to grow our entire diets for ourselves and our families. It simply isn't feasible in today's world. But BF is, for the VAST, VAST majority of mother/baby pairs. When you choose not to do it, you introduce risk that does not need to exist. It is not the same as whether you grow every last scrap of food for your family or buy some (or all) of it at the store. I'm not going to keep explaining this over and over again, so please try to make some sense of it and move on.

Yes formula introduces a risk that doesn't have to exist and so does several other things.

Why don't Olympic figure skaters wear helmets? I've never seen this.
This seems to be something new.
Because there isn't a helmet designed that is light enough that offers the right kind of protection.

And what do your children have by being BF that shows there doing better than just surviving like my FF children must be.
