[quote=Anonymous]Every time I come on DCUM, I see a discussion about breastfeeding that devolves into people hurling insults at each other -- formula vs. breastmilk, early vs. late weaning, "no one has a problem with supply," "I would never feed my baby someone else's milk," etc. I feel the same way with other moms in "real life." Why isn't it possible to have a rational discussion about this? Why are so many moms who BF determined to tell others that they are wrong for using formula? Why are so many people beating themselves up for not being able to BF? Why so much emotion around this? I had trouble BFing myself and know all the emotion that goes into the frustration and pain and anger, but we don't need other moms judging and criticizing to make things worse! I seriously feel anxious whenever I pull out a bottle to give my kid in public (nevermind the fact that it is breastmilk I bend over backwards to pump).[/quote]
