Being shamed

Jenna

Any other moms out there feel like they have been judged or “shamed” for not continuing to breast feed?

My daughter had an allergy to things I was eating and when I was breast feeding her it would make her sick. I did elimination diet and still couldn’t figure it out so at doctors suggestion I quit giving her my milk and switched to a special type of formula. She was a whole new baby and so much happier.

Well I work one on one with the public and multiple times now when people ask if I’m breast feeding and I tell them my story I feel judged.

It doesn’t matter to me, I know I tried and fed her for over a month while cutting out all of my favorite foods so in my eyes I really put in the effort and she’s healthier without it

Just wanted to see if it happens to anyone else who for medical reasons can’t
