[QUOTEI agree Ali, sorry, you're right, this shouldn't be an anti-BF debate. But maybe you could help me... what should be said to women who choose to FF for reasons other than because BF is impossible? What should be said to the woman who doesn't want to BF because she believes it will make her breasts sag? Should we respect her misconception? I know that women like this are a tiny tiny tiny minority but still, what should be said?
I also agree this shouldn't be a debate, seems to me someone just needed to vent how they often feel judge when out in public. Initially this was about FF wasn't it? I'm sorry I don't mean to come across rude, but it just saddens me again as it seems to have turned into a BF/FF debate. I am not against those who are Pro BF, even though I FF (for whatever reason, not anyone else's business) I am Pro BF too & do think everyone needs to be educated & so on. I don't have a problem with the Pro BF threads etc. But this was a FF thread.

In regards to "what should be said" Nothing! that's the point of the thread I thought. I don't go around telling people why they should do something I don't agree with, it's not my business & often we don't have all the details. If someone was to ask your opinion, then certainly give it & stand up for what you believe in & be true to yourself, BF or FF. But many of us feel judged or left out, or have had things said to us in regards to FF & it isn't a CRIME so why say anything at all or give a dirty look if not warrented - I think that was the point of the thread.

Sorry if I've got it wrong.[/quote]


No erin , u got my whole point in 1 shot! I desperately wish that em would BF and recently I tried relactating, that worked but she just would not take the BB. My sister was the same at Em's age and so was my mum. we have a family history of happy starvers.
