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

When you say you were breastfed, I wonder - how long were you exclusively breastfeed? Because just getting some breast milk isn't enough for some kids to make a difference. If I am guessing your age right, you were born during a time when breastfeeding wasn't common, and the chances were less that you were exclusively breastfed for very long. Not to say it didn't happen - my middle son was exclusively BF for 9.5m

What things, specifically?

With things like cigarettes/tobacco, the sorts of studies they did were epidemological studies which showed and increased risk, all other factors being the same, just like the studies for ff. Yet you claim that is a direct link there, but not in the case of ff. Same type of studies, same type of evidence.
I don't get this, Your debating style is very frayed around the edges if you don't see that.
