Need advice

[Mommyy2be]

Im not too sure if this is where im suppose to put this post, if its in the wrong place just let me know lol...

I just need to rant a little bit and ladies please give me your honest opinion..I stoped breastfeeding about 2 1/2 weeks ago and its going just fine.. Kendra is eating well, gaining weight and she is perfectly healthy..Well I recently just talked to a friend about how Kendra is on formula now, and she started telling me that I shouldnt put her on formula because its bad for her that breasmilk is better.. I already knew that breastmilk is best, but I also do know that now a days formula is so close to breastmilk.. I wanted to stop for multiple reasons like daddy wanting to feed her more, I always had sore breasts, I wasnt getting the hang of it I was always so frustrated with it, etc.. so I found it easier to bottle feed.. Anyways back to what my friend was saying... She was basically saying that I was a selfish bad mother because i put my baby on formula.. Like i feel extreamly bad now, am I a bad mother, am I doing something wrong?... Shes only been a mother for 3 weeks, and she was always coming to me for advice and now shes saying that im horrible for feeding my baby formula?..I havent been a mother for very long either, but it just seems like maybe shes all caught up in thinking she knows it all now? I dont understand what right she has to tell me what to do with my baby and sit there and make me feel horrible.. Like I thought it was a personal choice weither to bottle feed or breastfeed?..

Tell her to naff off!

Whatever way you choose to feed your baby is your decision. She doesn't have to agree with it but she could at least respect it!

I hate people like this, who try to make you feel guilty for formula feeding. It took me quite a few weeks to get over the guilt I felt over the breastfeeding issues I had (I only lasted 3 days and basically starved my daughter for that time..) and it pisses me off when other people judge me and give me the 'breast is best' lecture when they don't even know what went on.

Sorry I'm going off on a rant now

Just ignore her hun, you know what makes your baby happy and if that's ff then so be it. It's better to have a happy, healthy and content bottle fed baby than an unsettled and miserable bf baby. xx
