“NTA -they care more about their principles than their daughter’s mental health.

I tried to BF my first and it was a disaster resulting in struggling to bond with my baby. It took me 4 years to even think of trying for another child because my first post partum experience made me so unhappy. I formula fed my second straight from birth and my experience was totally different.

I never regretted it. There has been no difference in my children’s growth, sleeping patterns, physical or mental health, IQ, social skills etc (all the things that proBF advocates love to spew when promoting BF), and they are now both health and happy young adults.

Women have enough pressure in the world to be all things to all people, and sadly other women are the driving force of these pressures.”
