This is not directed directly to anyone on here or any comments, it's just something I have been thinking about lately....breastfeeding is a great thing but if you see a mom out in public bottle feeding please do not judge her. Non all moms are able to breastfeed and some of us have a hard time dealing with not being able to breastfeed. I will not be able to breastfeed due to an immune disorder and I wish it was an option for me. I am worried about the dirty looks I will get in public when I get out my daughters bottle. I am worried about the nurses at the hospital tomorrow not knowing my situation and trying to pressure me to breastfeed. I am worried that I'm not giving my child every advantage but I have no choice. My milk could harm my baby. I am just thankful that the option of formula is there.

Thank you for your post, nurses have handled me forcibly attempting to get me to breast feed.

@ladimogul, that's one of the things I'm worried about, especially since my milk could harm my child and I'm having a c section so I will be so drugged up that I may not be able to explain to every nurse so I told my husband it is one of his jobs

Dang I never heard of people judging a mom for pulling out a bottle in public. I thought it was always pulling a boob out. I guess people aren't satisfied with anything. Do what you do momma. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of immune problem do you have?

lichen sclerosus which is the same reason I need to have a c section. It has been terrible during pregnancy, a very severe case. The medications for it can absolutely not be combined with breastfeeding.

Yeah I know that's hard for you. Will the disorder get better after having baby or no?

@junesmommy15, it will hopefully get better but it will be something I will have to deal with rest of my life
