I once made the mistake of posting for help on breastfeeding on an unmoderated Facebook page. It was the middle of the night, DS would not latch on to one breast, I was bleeding from the other, I was in agony and DS was starving.
I received hundreds of replies, only one or two were genuinely helpful and kind. The majority were reasonably kind but still fairly forceful in their insistence that we could and should "just try harder" but they gave no real advice on how.
And then a scarily large amount were outright hateful rants filled with comments about rat poison, accusations of being selfish, insults about my DH expecting me to use my breasts for sex not feeding and statements that we might as well just throw our newborn in the back of the car without a car seat and drive him the wrong way down the motorway because it was just as much a risk to his life as formula feeding.
Almost nobody actually wanted to give advice and help, they just wanted to judge, sneer and attack anybody who had a moment of doubt.
I am not saying that everybody who breastfeeds is like that, but often these pages are unmoderated or not moderated properly and they are open to abuse by some of their members and it quickly escalates.
I would never use one of those pages now.
I like CocaColaMum's philosophy actually. Do whatever it takes to get you all through the day happy, healthy and alive and with a hug at the end rather than tears. You do what you can to raise you child in the best way you can and if you have to attack someone else when they ask for advice, perhaps you ought to take a look at yourself and ask yourself why you feel the need.
