[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that there is pressure on women to breastfeed. Everything is skewed towards women not breastfeeding in the workplace. I chose to breastfeed because it was the most natural biological instinct I had towards my kids. I was the lone mom doing that at my work place and o was villified by my female boss. Who happened to be the second wife of a man with 6 kids, and who never had kids of her own. [/quote] I'm so sorry you were villified. That's awful. However, it goes both ways. Yes, workplaces, as a general rule, do not push breastfeeding, but hospitals and nurses and lactation consultants definitely do. Try telling them you prefer to formula feed. I remember taking a tour of Holy Cross and somebody else asked if they provide formula. The tour guide made a face and said, "We really encourage breastfeeding". Just be honest and say no, we don't support your choices.[/quote]
