@the99 seems another benefit to breastfeeding is that you manage to have loads of time on your hands to talk about breast feeding.....

Who knew it was so important how other people feed 🙈

I tried breastfeeding but I was crap at it. I couldn’t cope. My milk didn’t come in for longer than expected and a whole host of other reasons which I won’t bother explaining. It makes me so impressed by women who do breastfeed because I found it so painful and difficult. Strong women. It’s a shame that on mn so many breastfeeding mums want to make ff mums feel terrible for their choices about their own babies. I feel like a good motto in life is ‘don’t be a dick’. Try that.

@the99 that last comment was totally and utterly disrespectful. Imagine how mums really struggling with the decision to FF could feel with you implying they're feeding their children poison! The only poison here is that coming out of your mouth.

This is getting very silly now. @the99’s now-deleted comment was clearly satirising the extreme views of some pro-breastfeeding voices on this thread.

Please don't feel like that. We're no stronger than any other mothers. Some are fortunate to find it easier than others and for me it wasn't strength that made me keep going but a combination of stupid stubbornness that made me unhappy and fear that if I stopped then DS would never sleep again as he always fed to sleep. The stronger thing to do would have been to accept my limitations and to give up and that would have benefited my whole family.

Yeah, thanks @ThanksItHasPockets it was sarcasm.

My previous post detailing my experience of giving birth in a yurt was also sarcasm... just feel I need to point out the obvious.

Calling FF poison doesn't really fit with my other posts wondering why people care so much about other women's choices to feed their children!
