I don’t get the whole “Breast is best” thing. Sure, breastfeeding is an awesome choice, but if it doesn’t work out for you, it doesn’t mean you’re still not doing what’s best for your child.

You rock, either way.

This is a very old post, too. I’m not as heated on the subject as I was back when I wrote this.

quite literally we had the exact same happen to us & i was SO tired of all the BFing moms telling me their kids were smarter & healthier {most of whom weren’t hitting milestones as quickly as my formula-fed baby who by the way never had an ear infection, much like her BFed playdates….}.

good for you for sticking up!

I’m a pretty big breastfeeding advocate, but much more importantly, I’m a breastfeeding cheerleader. I wish this post could have been “woohoo! I made it a month!” or a week or a day or anything other than feeling bad about breastfeeding.

Someone once called me a lactivist. I don’t consider myself one. I advocate for breastfeeding moms and support them, but when it comes to choosing how to feed your child, well, there’s more than one option.

I never judge people for not nursing. I know it’s hard. I started a blog about nursing to help people out. Not to tell them that was the only option out there.

I got the opposite in comments. People would say, “When are you going to wean him? I thought you were quitting? Isn’t it time you quit?”

But the other day a binch of girls made fun of me from bfeeding so I get being upset at your choices. They were grossed out by bfeeding moms and basically called us unstylish (WTF?) granola mommas.

Again, best not to judge. Great post!

I’m a grandmother now, and my daughter choose to breast feed her son. She enjoyed her experience; however, personally I don’t see where my grandson is any more or less healthier or intelligent than she was. It should be a choice foe everyone.
