Fed up with justifying myself
Hi
I think that people should do what ever they feel comfortable doing, ie ff or bf their baby.
BUT Im (and I even write this post a little fearfully) sick to death of justifying why I choose to breastfeed. Whatever peoples views are, breastfeeding is the most natural thing and I dont see why I should have to defend myself.
Sorry just need to vent

I also had people we knew telling me that 5 1/2 months (when we went on honeymoon) was the perfect time to stick him on formula, or that this time was great for stopping, and that i was only making a rod for my own back......
I ignored all those, and just listened to the people who knew what they were talking about, and who said how nice it was to see someone bf.
Never got any negative attitude in public, but we have an active sure start centre round here, and the recently named and shamed two places for being bf unfriendly.....
Some of the things people say about bf is so misinformed, and completely wrong that it just beggars belief!

I still BF Amelia who is 7 months. I have no plans to give up at moment. However, my friends are losing patience with me. Amelia wakes at about 3am for a feed so I am tired. Also, she BF still about 5 to 6 times a day. She not really fussed on food as such and was 5 weeks early so she still not quite 6 months age adjusted. Anyhow, we are planning a huge girls night out and I cant really get pissed. My mates (or so called) are giving me hard time about still feeding her. They are saying things like...you need to get that baby on the bottle fast... whoa...hang on there. Imagine if I said to a FF mum..you need to get that baby on the boob fast> I would be shot at dawn! However, we have to take it on the chin and smile and justify why we are BF......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr dont get me started...
I agree totally and 100% that a woman has the right to feed her baby bottle or breast..totally respect anyones choice. Therefore all I want is the same acceptance of why I chose to BF my babies..
Right...off to the tshirt printers now....

People seem to think that breastfeeding isnt natural, but I dont see how you can say that it isnt, at the end of the day, as gross as it might sound we are all mammals and our boobs are like all other mammals udders/teats etc,. At the end of the day if our fore mammas hadnt breast fed their babes we wouldnt be here!
A midwife had the cheek to tell me that i should use ff as it had been around for so long, sorry but ff been around for under 100 years, breastfeeding has been around since we were monkeys.
Like other posters have said, I dont care how people feed their babies, I just wish people would stop caring how i feed mine!
