Probably going to piss a few people off with this one!

It really pisses me off how all you breastfeeding mothers high-five yourselves and put down those of us who choose to use formula. Where does all the anger come from?  Someone posted on line a picture of a recipe for a pizza that was paid for by someone else because the mother whipped her boob out in the restaurant to feed her baby.

Please remember, some of us want to breastfeed and can’t. Some of us choose not to breastfeed.  GET OVER IT!

Guess what?!?!?!? It doesn’t come easy to everyone.   Does that surprise you "Nipple Nazis"?  

Does that make me less of a mother because I NEVER got milk in?  Yeah, even with meds, herbs and many lactation consultations I STILL couldn’t get milk in either time I was pregnant!  

One was born 9 weeks early and the other 4 weeks early, both were difficult, dangerous pregnancies.  I almost died while pregnant with my oldest, hence him being 9 weeks early.

"Oh, but you could have gotten milk from someone else!"  HELL NO!  There is no way in hell I would allow another woman's milk into either of my kids bodies.  Sorry, that's just gross.  Not to mention, with two kids with special feeding needs (i.e.- I had to mix their formula to a special calorie mixture and add rice due to reflux) formula was easier in the long run.

"But that's how they did it before formula!"  Yeah, they also used to drain blood out of your body to "cure" just about everything.  The old way is not always the best way.  Oh, and if we still did things "the old way" I would have probably died from pre-eclampsia before Bubba was born and if I had survived, Bubba probably would have died from the pyloric stenosis he was born with.

Just once, I’d like to see “High-five for feeding your baby!”  Really, who the fuck cares how you feed them!

I’m an AWESOME mother, I have AWESOME kids…hell, my son has genus level IQ and my daughter isn’t far behind!  See how important breast milk is?  

Seriously, other than your kids doctor and maybe your OB/GYN, who was the last person to even care if your kids got the boob or the bottle?  I haven't been asked in years.
