What's something that you get really sick and tired of having to explain to people?

“Why breast milk is best”

Commented just to say I get tired of explaining that actually fed is best and nobody should shame a woman for how she chooses to feed her baby

"Fed is best" = Formula feeding. This is a better option than the child being neglected, abused or starved. It is not ideal, but sometimes the baby is in an unfortunate situation and the mother is unavailable to be a mother.

If the choice is between formula and breast milk, then for a normal healthy infant, in a functional healthy household, in a functional family, with a functional healthy mother - breast milk is best.

Oh no, you're missing the point entirely and you are the reason people feel the need to even say "fed is best."

My family is functional and healthy. I am functional and healthy. My baby was normal and healthy. But breastfeeding was a terrible experience. Because I was led to believe that, all else being what it was, I SHOULD have been able to nurse, I felt like a failure that it just wasn't working. Everything was fine, my baby just couldn't latch easily, I was in terrible pain, my supply was awful and none of the tips and tricks were working. Healthy mom, check. Healthy baby, check. Supportive family, check. It was emotionally harmful for me to hear "breast is best," when people told me to stick with it (stick with the screaming baby who can't be soothed by nursing combined with the pain? wtf?). If someone had told me "fed is best" back then, I wouldn't still be irritated by people like you 11 years later!

You are missing some major factors that go in to nurturing a baby. Thank God I started exclusively formula feeding by 9 weeks.

Or maybe you're being glib? But it's time for the pendulum to swing back to the middle. Fed is best. That's all.

Jealous much? Sorry you failed, but get over it.

You're so defensive, I'm assuming you are struggling with coming to terms with the fact that breastfeeding doesn't make you a good mom. Why else would you be so mean about it?

Guys this is ugly.

Please don’t turn breastfeeding choices into this …

Just be happy with your own choices and don’t shame others for different choices …

Formula moms ALWAYS shame nursing moms for nursing in public. It's gross and obvious.

Always?.I've never shamed someone for nursing in public.. Not once.

You've never stared? Curled your lip? LOL, whatever.

Why didn’t you pump milk and then feed in bottle since baby wouldn’t latch? I did that for a year and baby was able to have breast milk instead of formula.

Because I chose to spend my time doing things I found more important than pumping. I didn't get enough milk to make it worth the time and hassle.

Ha ha. On one hand you say that it was not worth your time and hassle to pump milk, and on the other, you say that you were not making enough milk. If your body failed to produce milk then it is unfortunate, but it does not make formula better than breast milk. Your individual story of failure is the exception that proves the rule.

The rule is - breast milk is better but if you have other issues that prevents you from feeding breastmilk to your child then please don't let the baby starve. You can give them formula.

Also, what in the hell can be more important for a mom than to nurse their child?

This. And it's not caused by eating too much sugar.
