FF is not a crime

[~Belinda~]

I agree that FF is not a crime. It's such a sensitive topic too.

Madeleine is a FF baby and I've had people look down on me because of it. I started FF'ing Madeleine when she was a few weeks old because my nipples were cracked, bleeding and sore and I was crying at every feed. I saw an LC and I perservered but to no avail. I didn't wish to continue with it but praise all those women out there that are successfully able to BF! I certainly did not want to end up with depression, my baby is so important to me and I wanted to be a happy Mum.

It really shocks me how people can judge so easily.

Madeleine is really healthy and thriving and she's such a happy baby so that is all that matters to me.

I believe if your baby has love, affection, a warm bed, lots of cuddles and a belly full of milk, then feeding is a small part of the rest of their lives. I was formula fed as my Mum's milk went out but I turned out ok and have an awesome relationship with my Mum!

Life is short, be happy what you are doing and don't let others make you feel like you are making the wrong decision.
