I totally hear you! I tried to b/f for four months with the twins, it was awful! I felt so much better when we just did formula! But I felt so much pressure from everybody to breastfeed, it made me feel like a bad momma if I didn't breastfeed. But I just couldn't do it! I still held alot of guilt over feeding them formula! But they've always been healthy, so its really okay to formula feed! And there shouldn't be so much pressure from everybody to breastfeed when you just can't do it!

People who breastfeed and never have a problem are the worse, they totally don't understand where we are coming from!!!

Amen!!!

amen from me too!

I sooo understand this. I tried. Shane was losing weight so I wasn't feeding him enough. Away with the boob and on with the bottle

Totally feel the same way. Tried and tried and tried to bf and pump and do it all, didn't work out, couldn't do it and felt horrible thanks to all the pressure from nazi lactation consultants in the hospital and basically those people who are very judgmental because they could do it and were not very understanding of those of us who could not! Nor did they have twins like us, I might add! So, amen to you for your candor!! Anyway, whew, just had to get that off my chest..no pun intended..LMBO!!! And no debates here either, not ignoring the benefits of bfing, just saying it is not for everyone, try though they might! On the bandwagon a bit late here, by maybe a year..lol..
