A lot of women (& some men) get really worked up about mum's breast feeding, I've been asked not do it in a restaurant because a man complained, I just said no I wont, he doesn't have to look at me!Michaela :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12574123504652787943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009025478560754062.post-47763578387326472822011-09-24T08:08:47.762-07:002011-09-24T08:08:47.762-07:00But surely that is my point. It is MY choice. Yet ...But surely that is my point. It is MY choice. Yet as soon I mention anything about BFing, I am considered to be attacking those who FF?<br /><br />It is MY choice to feed my baby. And, as i'm sure, as a previous BFer, you must have felt the same, I am proud to be feeding my baby myself.<br /><br />I blogged about the fact that I was fed up about not being able to even talk about BFing without being jumped on. and I stand by everything i said.<br /><br />I do think that it depends on the situation and what works for one doesnt necessarily work for the other, as you and your babies show, however, the original post was about the supposed BFing mafia.Michaela :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12574123504652787943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009025478560754062.post-23573672820742382792011-09-24T05:39:48.118-07:002011-09-24T05:39:48.118-07:00Whatever happened to personal choice & keeping...Whatever happened to personal choice & keeping your opinions to yourself?!<br />I breastfed all 3 of mine & had mixed results with each child. My DD was nightmare to get established, but once we were it was great if not demanding & fed her up until 11mths when I discovered I was pregnant with DS1,who was fine to get going but I chose to go onto a bottle after 2months, DS2 was brilliant at it, but after 3 months I did formula & breastfeeding which worked out well for me.
