How come breastfeeding mommas can’t show any pride in breastfeeding without formula feeding moms taking offense and saying you’re belittling them 💁🏼♀️

Your post reminded me of something that happened the other day. Someone I work with (who doesn’t have kids) was talking about how appalled she was that a parent breastfed her infant during an IEP meeting at school. I told her to get over it & grow up. 🙊

@roth1321, I know for a fact that they had two entirely different types of cancer, neither are genetic.

@roth1321, but like I said, I don’t find anything wrong with this, I just don’t believe to be entirely accurate

@lorany, you don’t have to know why someone else would be offended. People will take offense to anything, and if they do that’s on them. 🤷♀️

I know what you’re saying. It does go both ways, but I have had people get offended when I mentioned how long I breastfed or that I did so exclusively. I wasn’t saying it to shame anyone, just sharing a fact that I’m proud of. 🤷🏼♀️

Same. My 2.5 yr old still nurses occassionally and I've been asked if I'm going to "keep this one on the boob too" (my 1 yr old) 🙄 I love breastfeeding. I also love healthy babies.

You can be! I often see BF moms offending FF moms as opposed to the other way around.

I’ve never shamed or belittled ff moms, I think fed is best but scientifically speaking breastmilk is superior and always will be, and I’m super proud to be able to give it to my kid. That’s not saying formula is bad or anything like that it exists for a reason. I posted a picture on my Facebook about benefits for mom and baby and I thought it was cool but my friends immediately said I was full of it and I was shaming them for ff

#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.
I’m thinking about breastfeeding how many people are breastfeeding

I feel like it's an emotional response on some of our parts that is more hurt than offended, but hard to express via text so it just comes off as offended (not for everyone, I can only speak for myself but I think there are a lot of people in the same boat as me).
I was the pregnant mama who did all the research and was 100% on board with breastfeeding exclusively and wanted all of that for my son. Then we both almost died during labor, he was in the NICU for a week, I was in the ICU in a separate hospital for 4 of those days, there was no donor milk available at the hospital he was in and I was unconscious so long I couldn't pump, plus the blood loss caused my body to not produce breast milk. I started off feeling like a failure for not being able to breastfeed. I knew everything about how much better breastfeeding was, and here I was unable to do it for my son.
I love seeing posts about how long mamas have been breastfeeding, but things that talk about how much healthier babies are, how much better their life outcomes are, they hurt. Because, rational or not, it feels like it's calling out a failure on my part. I usually just don't comment because I know how important education on the benefits of breastfeeding is, and I know a ton of moms aren't aware of the benefits or are shamed into thinking they shouldn't breastfeed. So I don't let my hurt get on the way of that education, but it takes work to get to the place whete you don't just respond emotionally and defensively when you see things taking about how much healthiet your kid could have been.
Anyways, sorry, that was long and why I don't usually chime in, but I think that's why a lot of women feel attacked, rational or not.
