My girls were/are formula fed - I’m not against breast feeding
I don’t hate breast feeding mothers, one of my closest friends breast fed both her kids I couldn’t care less. I chose to formula feed mine and that’s my choice no one should question me for that because it’s no one else’s business. I support breastfeeding mums and bottle feeding mums because why does it matter? Good for the above lady for breastfeeding her baby (genuinely good for her, not saying it in a sarcy way!) but just because Lydia chose formula it doesn’t mean she should hide it!
As for the weaning ... I get that the guidelines are 6 months but again, each to their own. She’s not poisoning Loretta is she
if weaning before 6 months was that bad nothing would be advertised as 4months + and it would be a strict “6 months is the earliest” in the same way they say 4 months is the absolute earliest now. Personally I’d wait, but if she wants to then why not. Again, why should she keep it private? She’s not promoting smoking during pregnancy is she she’s just weaning before 6 months like LOTS of other women do. She doesn’t need to hide it
