[quote=Anonymous]I had these issues with nosey people in the beginning. The only supportive ones were my husband and MIL. Surprisingly my best friend who chose to formula feed after breastfeeding issues was shocked I didn’t attempt breastfeeding longer and “ make it work”. My MIL breastfed both her kids and she said it was no as common and she would get many questions about why she wouldn’t use formula and there was no point of breastfeeding beyond 6 months. She has been very supportive and told me to state my reason, stand firm, and ignore. I have an almost 2.5 year old who was combo fed until 4 months and then we switched to formula and a 6 month old who was formula fed from the start. I would be firm with my choice when asked and would change the subject to let them know it’s none of their business and I wasn’t interested in having the conversation. [/quote]
