I found this thread really interesting!! I'm bf'ing my son who is 15 wks old, and I wouldn't dream of criticizing another mother's feeding choice - bf or ff!!! I am only interested in making sure that people know the truth about both bf and ff and their options with regard to both - so I'd correct misconceptions about both bf and ff if I heard them. But I wouldn't then harp on about pushing one or the other - it's a personal thing and I can only imagine how devastating it must be to want to bf and not be able to. I went through a bad patch with my son not gaining weight for 4 weeks but with the support of a great gp we made it through. So I've got a bit of an idea about the thoughts and grief and guilt when you might be facing the fact that bf isn't working for you and bubs.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I wouldn't dream of criticizing any of you for your choices or for having to switch to ff. It's your family, your business. And I can't believe people wouldn't give up their seat to a mother feeding her baby via any means in a feeding room - how appalling!!!
