feeling guilty, and that we are calling ff mothers bad mothers.
If we say "breastmilk is healther" we get 20 anecdotes about how HER
formula fed baby was never a sick a day in his life. When we say that the
great majority of women CAN breastfeed, we get 20 anecdotes about how HER
milk never came in... When we say that it is important to breastfeed if
you can (Not 'we will force you to breastfeed against your will') we are
accused of calling ff mothers bad mothers.
ANYTHING short of "it doesn't matter how you feed your babies, because
formula is just as good as breastmilk and all the studies that say
otherwise are lies" inevitably leads to cries of "How DARE you say I'm a
bad mother for giving my baby formula!"
