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

"No of course there are things I come across that I don't find enjoyable.
"Your point is that it isn't feasible for you to grow your own food, mine is that I couldn't handle BFing.
You really think you can grow enough veggies/fruits to feed your entire family in a window box or a closet?
Did I say that?

Okay, then. For WHICH people is it truly "possible" to grow every last bit of food they need to feed their families, in this day and age, given the way we live today? For that matter, do you REALLY do that? Do you have a cornfield? A potato field? A hen house? Do you dry your own herbs and spices? Grow and mill your own wheat for flour? Harvest sugar cane in your backyard?
Seriously...I think this is a ridiculous premise, and it does *absolutely* nothing to bolster your argument that FF is okay because BF'ers might go on use manufactured foods when they feed their families.
Edited because someone might accuse me of swearing. ;O)
