I think so many of those articles just drive another wedge between breast feeding and formula feeding moms. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the visit the other day. :)Amanda @ Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483017563206007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163336662723748216.post-21232958828090559022010-01-29T08:32:03.389-05:002010-01-29T08:32:03.389-05:00I have to agree with you.

That being said, I did give my nieces and nephews bottles and also have babysat kids that required bottles and even though I never used them myself I felt it was pretty darn self explanatory. I do however wish people understood more about breastfeeding. Great post. Gets you thinking. :)Mandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923263645916096502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163336662723748216.post-54503570611384302102010-01-25T22:26:33.703-05:002010-01-25T22:26:33.703-05:00How nice would it be to have instructions with the...How nice would it be to have instructions with the boobs?Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385199648152257249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163336662723748216.post-9069230377553251212010-01-25T13:03:39.179-05:002010-01-25T13:03:39.179-05:00I love this.

A minor one for most people.<br /><br />I especially love your points about public breastfeeding versus public bottle feeding and the fact that breastfeeding isn't a fad or statement but is a healthy choice.<br /><br />And I pumped exclusively, because my little guy couldn't ever latch properly. Onto my breast. He had little problems with bottles. And while I needed no support groups for bottle feeding, I did need lots of help figuring out pumping and trying to figure out breastfeeding.<br /><br />Hahaha about the car battery ad. Impressive, indeed. LOL! :)Ammielorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733229409882495397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163336662723748216.post-91122386593537794672010-01-24T23:16:20.564-05:002010-01-24T23:16:20.564-05:00This made me laugh!

There are instructions everywhere for formula feeding and you get tons of "support" via advertising the moment you go to your pediatricians office when they start randomly sending free samples and coupons with info in the mail! I absolutely agree that this is not a "vs" issue and even have many friends who choose to supplement breast feeding with formula feeding. I personally hate pumping, so I don't really do the bottle feeding thing, but I just consider that my choice, not an anti-stance.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093183636943756262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163336662723748216.post-11930151621770408662010-01-24T21:26:40.209-05:002010-01-24T21:26:40.209-05:00Right on Tracey!!
