Bottle feeding mothers

I am thinking of mothers who choose to not breastfeed, for their own reasons. Obviously if they can't manage it, that's quite different.

I breast fed my 6 , my DDs breast fed , my DIL bottle fed and they are all fine . I would never question bottle feeding Mothers , some people can't some won't and surely it is better to bottle feed successfully than resentfully breast feed . Must add that I loved giving GS his bottle

Absolutely no comparison to a smoke filled room!

It is no one else's business how a mother chooses to feed her baby. There will always be the judgemental busybodies though!

Yes I would be disturbed if a baby was exposed to cigarette smoke and would regard it as quite unnecessary, I really don't think bottle feeding a baby can be put into the same category. In any event there could be a multitude of reasons why an individual has made the choice to bottle feed, it could be the only option for them I don't think anyone else has the right to make a judgement about that.

That's a shocking way of looking at it, jingl, IMO!

There could be any number of reasons why a mother is unable to breastfeed and feels guilty enough about it as it is - and the comparison with a smoke-filled room is ridiculous.

It might be of concern to the baby when it's older. You would feel disturbed at a baby being in a cigarette smoke filled room. Why not at seeing a baby deprived of something so beneficial to future health?

which way she chooses not uses.
