She's really annoyed me with that rubbish about breastfeeding. I breastfed my 3. I didn't do any research, just said I'd try it. Got great help at the hospital after the birth and then was really lucky it all went well for me and my first. But do you know why I decided to continue breastfeeding my first for a year ,and then the next two kids? ...because it was easier for me, simple as that. No major sterilizing as I rarely expressed, no getting out of bed to make /heat bottles,no planning ahead with bottles when leaving the house. Not to mention not having to spend money on formula. Yes I was a bit more limited freedom wise but only for the first few months. Breast fed babies are the same as bottle fed babies,,,they grow and go on to solids and need less milk. You're not sitting under them for 5 hours a day for a year.(according to her ridiculous comparison ).
I've never heard anything so ridiculous. I loved breast feeding, cried when each of mine stopped but my God!, I never thought less of other mothers who bottle fed. If anything I admired them for the extra work they had to do to keep their babies healthy.
What an absolute tool she is. She would put anyone who is trying to decide which way to go , completely off breastfeeding. Making out it's some huge sacrifice when in most cases once mother and baby have got the hang of it and there's no issues it's less work than bottle feeding. Especially when there's just one baby and no toddlers or older siblings running round.
She makes everything a f+#jing production!
