I don’t think moms that formula feed should be shamed BUT moms that breastfeed do deserve all the extra praise … it’s truly a labor of love.

At some point they’re both going to be eating Cheerios off the floor anyway 😂

I had 5 kids. I breastfed 4 of them for at least a few months some up to 9 months. 1 I didn't breastfed at all because of PPD. she is by far my sickest child 😅 no judgement to other moms though I get it!

I’ve done both and I can say in my personal opinion, formula is HARDER. With formula you always have to have enough on hand, $$, constant dishes, warming up bottles, etc. whereas breastfeeding it’s always on hand and you just can feed anywhere (including bed) my formula fed baby is extremely healthy, and has excelled in speech and language reaching each milestone early. I hate the “it’s harder” it’s not, it’s your body is working harder than making a bottle but formula is harder in my opinion

My daughter is a first grade teacher and she said she can’t tell if a child was breast fed or bottle fed, whether they took a paci, if they went to daycare, when they started talking, when they potty trained, and all those minor things, but there are 3 things she can absolutely tell 1. Were they read to. 2. Is there structure and discipline in the home. 3. Have they been taught to play with others.

I’m 3 wks pp and I’ve been mentally struggling with pumping, my baby wasn’t able to latch. We are already combo feeding but I do have a great supply. I just hate doing it sm, i don’t pump as often or when I should really even, my baby is doing great in formula but I feel awful like I didn’t try hard enough if I give up pumping now

Thank you for this positive message. I was unable to breast feed my babies and was judged so harshly. We need more people advocating for this exact message. Well done using your platform for good!

I breastfed for the first two months of with my son, he wasn’t gaining enough weight because I couldn’t produce enough.. I was so devastated.. the one thing I knew into motherhood is that I wanted to breastfeed.. I felt so much shame around it because I knew breast milk was better for him but truly at the end of the day my baby needed food.. I pumped for awhile after till I couldn’t produce anymore.. I really struggled with people reminding me that “breast is best” because I obviously know that.. and that nursing is “harder” because I get it but at the same time time all my efforts suddenly felt devalued, like I was a top tier mother or something.. remember that we don’t always know mother’s story’s and that sometimes she is literally doing the best with what she has.. so the “this is what’s best reminder” isn’t always helpful, sometimes women just need a pat on the back on what they can do for their babies..

I love this take. I came from a family where there was so much pressure. I nursed all my babies BUT I chose to supplement when I went back to work and the way they all shamed me. As a young mom it made me feel terrible!! There should be zero pressure.

When we had to start supplementing our Dr goes “hey I was formula fed, no biggie”

I have so much guilt honestly I hate that I couldn’t do fully breast milk but also formula is so so expensive and it’s hard to keep up

I had to supplement so we gave her “protein shakes” breast milk + formula - I took it really hard because I was producing and she still wasn’t gaining but it was a such a game changer to have options and take the pressure off of me

yeah nobody knows in a room full of people, but your gut knows. Gut health for life is closely related to breast feeding.

The pressure could come from the added benefits for the mom gets associated with breastfeeding. It helps reduce breast cancer rates and a ton more. I think medical providers see the benefits and encourage moms to breastfeed.

I tried to breastfeed, I tried to get my body to make enough, and I just couldn’t. I have just had to accept that my body doesn’t make enough milk to sustain my babies. All of my children have been formula fed and they have excelled in every single way. My oldest is extremely smart, before she was even 2 she could count to 20, knew her colors, ABCs, and shapes. My younger daughter was born prematurely at 24wks and is now extremely healthy and is talking and learning as much as she can (now 2yrs old) and I’m currently pregnant with our 3rd and she will most likely be formula fed as well depending on my supply. So many women act like there’s always a choice and never even consider that a lot of moms try and for whatever reason they just can’t
