It is hard when you see ignorant, close-minded and prejudiced comments like that. I could list the amount of comments Ive read or heard from people who dont understand where people like us are coming from. However, since accessing the Fearless Formula Feeder blog and reading about the various struggles people have had and prejudices they have faced I feel more confident now to ignore those horrible comments on here and in public and hopefully will have been able to open the eyes of those on here who are judgemental of FF mums to realise in the world of feeding our babies, it isnt so straightforward, black or white, cut and dry.
This may be 'just' an internet forum and people may think what a faceless stranger says on here can be so upsetting. But it can and it does. For some people, this can be the only support network available and it isnt fair if people feel they cannot come on here for being judged.
Vintage, you are right. I believe 'they' as you put it might never get it unless they've been through it themselves. But if people like you, me and the other brave ladies share their stories about it, we can make 'them' realise what can and does happen to some ladies who wish to BF.
Someone mentioned making a new section for those like us but I think perhaps making this thread a sticky might be helpful. How would I go about doing this?
