If it wasn't for BB I'd feel like the only woman on the planet to be breastfeeding!
Many of my friends have had babies all within the last year and I was disapointed to be the only mumma who was determined to BF no matter what. Not one of my friends even tried, claiming they dont have time or why bother when there is formula available. Then they all get uppity when there is any talk of breatmilk being better than formula.
Then I get the comments that my baby must be behind because he is not as heavy as theirs & that I should supplement him with formula or start him on solids!! I find it so hard not to lash out! Hello... breastfed babies dont get fat! I wish they had seperate weight charts for BF & FF babies as they dont gain on the same scale after 3months, sigh.
I feel sad for them and their bubs that they are missing out on a beautiful thing, which is of course also convenient & free! I can sympathise that it can be hard at times, my lil guy has been a nighmare feeder sometimes and had me in tears, but not once have I contemplated shoving a bottle in his mouth. Each to their own of course, but I cannot see how BF is anything but normal and the most natural thing of all for a growing bubba.
