Why are you guys trying to put in breastfeeding in a thread where it has NOT EVEN BEEN SUGGESTED? Are you that obsessed with labeling people as "BF Nazis" and "formula-shamers," etc.? Why are you looking for problems?

Anyway, ***I used formula with both of my babies*** but always warmed, when possible. It's what my pediatrician suggested, it's what the doctors and nurses and even the LC at the hospital suggested, it's what every baby book I ever read suggested. If you don't want to warm formula, then freaking don't. But stop acting like the idea to do so comes from thin air. Yes, it is OK NOT TO. WE GET THAT. But a lot of doctors, nurses, LCs and authors of baby books suggest that you do.

Whatever![/quote]

And recommendations change as more evidence is gathered. Sometimes it's just a matter of style, too.

But honestly. I don't think anyone would have cared if OP hadn't harped on how unhealthy and uncaring it was not to warm up formula to the same temperature you'd get for breastmilk. Trying to make other new moms feel bad for no good reason AND pretending you have nonexistent scientific evidence to back you up? That's worth getting called out.[/quote]

The original post said "warming the bottle." It did not say "you should breastfeed instead of formula feeding." Show me where I'm wrong.[/quote]

:lol: Do you mean the original post here or in the other thread?[/quote]

Um, here. As in this thread. As in the thread we are actually in.[/quote]

You realize this is a continuation of a conversation from another thread, though, right?

OP didn't just start talking about this out of nowhere, and the criticisms of what she has said are covering the full conversation. She referenced her starting point and other views in the first post of this thread, even, so it's not like she was trying to hide it.[/quote]

So you checked with Jeff and verified that the poster(s) who said people should just breastfeed in the other thread is the same poster of this thread?

Do you or do you not realize that more than one poster were suggesting that people warm bottles in the other thread. I would venture to say several posters. And yes, one person very rudely pushed formula. But really, one rude poster out of 10 pages of posts on that topic really doesn't equal a BF conspiracy. [/quote]
