OK cliche time again... You can't have your cake and eat it too... There is no point being dismayed at a society that doesn't accept public (even descreet) BF and yet not be willing to accept some womens choice to FF... it just seems a bit hypercritical.
Not saying that you aren't justified in being p.o'ed about people giving you funny looks or rude remarks,however it feels just as uncomfortable to ff mums to get the negative comments about their choices.
In all honesty I'm 100% if given the choice to bf or ff at birth my DD would have taken the later. She hated bf, and it wasn't through lack of technique on either part, she just didn't like the 'closeness' and once she had her first bottle (at 4 months and after only gaining 300g since birth) there was no way she would ever have gone back to bf.
