Why can't there be a feed for formula fed babies? There's one for breastfeeding. I had to formula feed because I didn't produce any milk I just wish people could understand how much it sucks to not be able to do that for your son.

yep @their.bomb.ass.mom it's really not a big deal.

I agree, I don't care what people say but it is uncalled for. And it's just as sad seeing someone else get picked on for their decisions or choices. At first I felt awful, but now I just do not care. Fed I'd fed either way to me. @junesmommy15

All that matter ladies is healthy babies. There is no right or wrong way of feeding your baby. As long as your baby is being fed.

@their.bomb.ass.mom Ignore that. That goes both ways. We got formula fed mommas doing the same stuff. I witness someone tell another mom on here her son was too old and she was perverted. We gotta ignore it though because that's just ignorant people talk. People do anything for attention. I could care less if someone talk about me breastfeeding my baby and if I had to use formula I could care less if someone says I didn't try. Oh well

Formula feeding is extremely difficult. Yes all you do is read the directions but the formula can be hard on the babies belly and it is extremely expensive. I would love to breast feed but I couldn't do it. I didn't choose to formula feed.

Thank you ladies. I am not against breastfeeding moms because either my baby is eating and he is one chunky boy. I just wish there was more support for formula feeding moms.

you can't put someone's else shoes on . meaning one is not harder than the other .... sure breast feeding will be hard but also formula will be too. feeding in general is emotionally troubling . don't belittle someones problems because they are not the same .. I'm sure she wants her baby just as healthy n growing.

Formula feeding is emotionally troubling too. When you have breastfeeding mothers at your neck with pitchforks and torches saying "breast is best." "you should have tried harder." "you're not giving your child the best they deserves." etc. Being told you basically aren't as good as other mothers because you couldn't do something you so desperately tried to do, is VERY emotionally troubling and frustrating.

But with formula feeding it can be emotional troubling. Breastfeeding is supposed to be the most natural thing in the world and not being able to do it is for frustrating and emotional.

Because with formula you follow the directions. Breastfeeding you run into so many issues like mastitis, clogged ducts, latching issues, tongue/lip tie, pumping, issues with public BFing, etc, etc.

Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?

jbeans24.45 @salt., thanks, I’m just asking for a back up plan if I don’t get to breastfeed exclusively
leowifey Also, I tried some lactation supplements from Legendairymilk.com and I thought they helped my supply as well.

Breastfeeding.

I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.

?????? me!! I most definitely will be!
I am pregnant with my fourth child. I have an older daughter and a set of twins.
I nursed all 3 girls and plan to with #4.

Because I have to be on mental health medication after birth I am unable to breastfeed😔 what are some good formulas for babies? I know breast is best but I can’t be on the medication I need and breast feed.

Formula feeding mommas, what are you suggestions and opinions on brand(s)?
