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

I sure do! I can't even grill on my patio let alone grown anything on it. lol.>>>
BTDT! We once had a tiny tabletop hibachi thing we bought for $5 at the grocery store. It was a good thing the only place to put it was on the concrete patio, since we ended up having it burn right through the bottom and all the hot charcoal and ashes fell out on the ground!

Thank you. My thoughts exactly.
Since you first suggested it, the onus of proof is on you.

<<No because one of the biggest points to the BFing side is that it doesn't carry the risks that FF does.
Animated? Really! How was it animated? Did it change the wording?
I can't recall that one at all.

They let you do that? Lol. Here it is against the law. They can fine you like $1000 for grilling on your patio.>>>
They didn't care there if you grilled on the patio in the apartments. If you lived in an upper story, you could get fined for grilling on the tiny wooden deck, though. We used to have friends from up there come down to borrow our patio all the time. :O)
