just gotta rant.. Someone just posted on Facebook that fed is NOT best. Fed is just the basic thing we should be doing for our babies. Ummm excuse you? Just because breastfeeding is the "better" option doesn't mean a baby should go hungry because the mom wants to stick with the "better" option even though she doesn't produce enough milk. Yes I breastfeed but I know women who don't produce enough milk to breastfeed. That does not make them bad mothers for feeding their child with formula.

I pumped every two hours, was on supplements, and rented a hospital grade pump for a month and still only got ONE ounce a pumping session if I was lucky. On top of that my baby couldn't latch and had a hard time sucking because she was born with an infant form of my illness, which makes me extremely weak, so pumping was the only option. I tried my hardest and didn't quit til I almost keeled over from exhaustion and people still manage to make me feel like I didn't do enough. If they weren't commenting on breastfeeding I am sure it would be something else people are doing wrong... Mothers just can't seem to catch a break these days.
My baby is formula fed since day 3 (I didn't know I wasn't producing and practically starved her for 2 days!) and she's a little chunky monkey now and will never go without a meal. :)
