    Can you tell me what you mean by that ?

    I have formula fed 3 children and not been at all embarassed and i have nothing against breast feeding at all...
    I understand that some people have no choice but to bottle feed and I havent got an issue with what other people do in regards to their own children. I would feel embarrassed formula feeding because I personally would feel that I had failed.

    Ive had people stare and comment directly to me that breastfeeding was disgusting,the are to embarrassed and how/why do i do it ect. especially for feeding an older child. I didnt get offended so I dont know why people would be offended with a comment that I personally woudl feel embarrassed bottle feeding because of a personal feeling of failure.
