Why we women fight over breastfeeding vs formula feeding?
I wonder what the real reason is that women have this “war” between us regarding those who breastfeed and those who CHOOSE to formula feed.
I personally have nursed all of my kids and I would never give them formula. I have been given the dirty looks while out in public, I have had my husbands friends call me “disgusting” I just don’t understand why breastfeeding is not accepted in our culture anymore and why we as women don’t unite instead of fight over the issue of formula.
It was a man that invented formula to be used in the event that a baby would die.. not to be used as the default. What happened?
Personally I don’t judge women that formula feed, and I have never tried to make any woman feel bad about it.
Some women are unable to do it due to lack of proper assistance and guidance. Some are unable to do it because of surgery or other health problems. Whatever the case, who am I to judge?
However, I do have a problem with people saying things like: “Breastfeeding wasn’t for me, I liked formula much better.” “Or, It’s my choice what’s it to you?” Or “Formula is just as good, and my baby ‘s quite healthy”.
Formula is never as good. And I don’t know why women think they have 2 choices. There ‘s only one right way, and that’s breastfeeding. Unless you ‘re unable to do it due to medical reasons, why do you think you have the choice to give your baby something mand made instead of what ‘s meant for them to eat? We are mammals. We are supposed to give our babies mother’s milk. Yes a baby can survive on formula, and thrive, and be very healthy. But that’s should be available to us for special cases only. It shouldn’t be a choice for every healthy and capable of nursing mother.
You may say it’s non of my business, but if that’s how everyone felt about other peoples kids, there would be no lactation consultants.
Breastfeeding needs to become the norm. That ‘s how the human race will become healthier and stronger as a whole!
