[quote=Anonymous]i truly don't understand the hate/fear about FF. I had a preemie with a mlik protein allergy. we tried to get her to latch, I pumped every 2 hours while she was in the NICU and read every thread on elimination diets all while trying to navigate being a FTM. She was is AGONY and not gaining weight. We switched to formula and VIOLA - happy baby that get nice and healthy within a matter of days. She's now 5 and one of the tallest and most athletic/smart kids in Kindergarten. The only regrets I have are all the newborn photos from the first 6 weeks and seeing how pained her face was 24/7 - not even mentioning the lack of sleep we all had.

I'm due with #2 in several weeks and am prepared to try again with breastfeeding and pumping but let me tell you - if I there are any difficulties and I feel that I am putting my pride over the health and happiness of my baby (or my marriage) - we're doing formula again.

You have got to snap out of this breast or bust mentality - it is SO damaging to women. [/quote]
