My hospital never even mentioned formula to me. Considering how much I've spent on feeding my kid (which I didn't expect to have to spend) a giant bag of shit would be helpful. I think the pendulum is swinging the other way at this point and women are feeling shamed for not wanting to bf or being unable to. I don't…

Meh. She's being celebrated mostly in this thread.

I just can't stand the smugness of breastfeeding mothers on this site. I want to fucking punch them in their faces. So much back patting everyone's arms must be getting quite tired.

There's more support for what a beautiful mother Gisele is.

I appreciate what you are saying and have heard it from practically everyone. However so many of these stories include mentions about how women hated breastfeeding but kept at it because of a sense for their child. This makes me feel like shit because I gave up. I couldn't do and I wanted to but I wasn't strong/good…

Fenugreek didn't do shit for me. Other galactagogues make ppd worse.

I'm just rereading thru some comments and I just wanted to state that I disagree. I think lots of people want to make moms feel bad. No one is really mentioning the stupid and hurtful comments Gisele has spewed about BFing and someone linked me to a blog about a woman advocating for freedom to choose formula without…

And I'm sure the next thing will be there to make me feel inadequate and unable to be good at this.

It rubbed me really wrong too (and the 35 recommends) but I'm super sensitive about this subject right now. I usually avoid the mainpage but this picture smacked me in the face and when that happens I can never help myself. I obsess.

We haven't breastfeed in almost two weeks and I hate myself for it every day.

Motherhood in general. I feel like shit all the time and even hearing about other people having better experiences than me is making me a bitter resentful jealous asshole.

My baby is fine. I'm the one feeling shitty.

I can't even pump enough fucking milk. I suck.

Just not gonna happen.

I'm on zoloft and seeing a therapist. I've been getting worse not better. I am not able to articulate how I really feel in front of real people. I minimize and try to put on a brave face. I hate disappointing people. Yes, BFing is the tip of the iceberg. I couldn't do something I tried really hard at and I still…

It's too late. My baby is thriving because of formula now. My supply is drying up (I can barely pump the 3 bottles a day I try to give her). The LC said I have perfect breastfeeding nipples and my baby's latch was perfect. Fenugreek did nothing to increase my supply. Once bottles were introduced she would cry every…

LLL ignored the desperate email I sent them asking for help. I feel like everyone has been against me from the start.

Ha! So easy to say. So hard to practice. If I never talk to another mom again I will be so happy.

I may not be good at any of it though. My confidence in this is fucking shot and everywhere I turn I'm hearing/seeing about how awesome an experience BFing is and formula companies are evil and BFing is hard but you can do it anyway. I'm ready to just give up completely.

I think it's different when you decide you don't like it and want to stop. I didn't like it but I didn't want to stop either. Every time a mom talks about how great it was I want to get defensive immediately because it feels like an attack on my very ability to be a mom. I haven't taken to motherhood very well so it's…
