[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Formula is convenient. May not be the best for a kid but it is convenient for the mom.[/b] I don't know about activism because as a mom who EBF, I don't give a damn if other moms don't bf their kids. My kid gets the best I can give and that what matters, not what other kids are being fed. There is enough literature available about benefits of BF, and I do not need to educate anyone.

Mean girls are selfish. To BF is opposite of being selfish. So your assertion does not make sense.

Should corporations have accomodations for working moms to pump at work or at work daycare etc. Yes. Absolutely.[/quote]

[b]Lol. Ok  mean girl. Too bad you're too busy being selfishly self-righteous to give your kids something really worthwhile: a loving, kind person as their mother. [/quote][/b]

Dp  I read pp's comments and no where can I see that she is being mean.  She is expressing her opinion about how mothers who want to breastfeed can get support from corporations.  How is this mean?  You do you.

To the person complaining about the nurses: it is their job to provide information.  When I had my kids in the early 2000s it was the opposite and they were pushing the formula on me, which I did not want.  Do you think all those people who told me to formula feed were mean too?  I just did what I wanted to do and ignored them![/quote]

Then you are bad at reading. PP manages to say that moms who don't breastfeed are not providing the best to their children and are selfish before meandering around the the tangent last paragraph that you have somehow taken to be the main point of her post.  She's not so much mean as snide, but it's not subtle at all.  It's truly strange that you missed all of that to get to the one sentence that seemed reasonable.[/quote]

I am not this OP but I agree you made a big leap here in order to be offended. Poster said “I’m giving her the best I can give,” and you heard “moms who don’t breastfeed are not providing the best to their children and are selfish.”

Other people’s decisions are not insults to you. If I buy a red bike I am not insulting you because you chose to buy a blue bike. There is enough pain in the world — you don’t need to go looking for offense.[/quote]
