]]> Comment on Lose the bottle-feeding guilt by Fearless Formula Feeder http://annpleshettemurphy.com/2009/08/15/breast-feeding-vs-bottle-feeding/comment-page-1/#comment-1439 Fearless Formula Feeder Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:44:02 +0000 http://annplesh.nexcess.net/?p=190#comment-1439 Thank you for this wonderful response, Ann. That was honestly one of the most sensitive, practical and helpful answers to the bottlefeeding guilt question that I've seen from a parenting expert. Amy, I too stopped breastfeeding at 4 weeks post partum, after latching issues, nerve damage, and a milk protein allergy. I felt horrible - after all, I had been told that breast is best, and formula was junk food... I had my baby after two miscarriages and I wanted nothing but the best, healthiest food for him. But we had so many problems from the beginning... and formula was the magic bullet in our case. Once he got on hypoallergenic formula, he was a different baby, and then I just felt guilty for forcing the breastfeeding thing on him for as long as I did! Do NOT feel guilty. If you need some additional support, I hope you'll check out my blog - it's a safe place for formula feeding, loving, intelligent moms to go without feeling judged... http://www.fearlessformulafeeder.blogspot.com Thank you for this wonderful response, Ann.
