I don't have a mummy brigade please don't make this something it's not.And I have to disagree there too. There is lots of support for breast feeding, sure its all thats pumped at new mums. I note you say you have nothing but sympathy for mums "who TRIED but couldn't feed"? So the others who decided not to ,are not worth mentioning. They aren't proper mothers? Whats your view on natural v caesarian birth? I suppose women who dont give birth naturally are not in your mummy brigade either, or couldnt possibly bond the same way?

No judgements on birth, parenting or bonding , il leave that up to you to make snarky comments and assumptions , you're good at it.

Other women and family is not there. "Just give a bottle" seems to be the answer to any bumps in the road and it's the last thing many mums want to hear.
