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

LOL! I think we both had the "wth????" moment at the same time:)

Actually, according to this site, that is not totally true.

"No because one of the biggest points to the BFing side is that it doesn't carry the risks that FF does. But once the risk come from store bought food, like formula is, it's ok. Why, because it's difficult to grow food? But it's not ok for a person to not BF when it's difficult for them?"

It's actually not OK, IMO. And on the organic vs. non-organic debate board, you can feel free to discuss it to your heart's content. Here it remains a red herring.
