sorry for this rant but it’s so annoying having to listen to healthcare providers and everyone else trying to tell you what to do with your body, telling you that you need to breastfeed bc it’s the “healthiest” option and the best thing for your baby. it puts so much pressure on us first time moms. they need to respect women’s decisions, not force something on them. you’re not any less for wanting to bottle feed.

edit: i’m not saying it isn’t okay for them to educate you bc it’s totally acceptable for them to do so but once it comes to the point of them not respecting your choices and being pushy about their views is when it becomes a problem. also, i’m not saying breastfeeding isn’t healthy i’m very aware that it is guys, it just shouldn’t matter how we choose to feed! breastfeeding and bottle feeding are both great and nobody should be shamed for what they choose to do ❤️

another edit: i love that everyone has been sharing their experiences and being supportive. it’s what i like to see. all coming together! thank you. i’m sorry for the ones that have gone through negative experiences and have felt this way on their choices, just know that you’re doing the right thing and nobody should ever tell you what to do as a parent, only YOU know what’s best always mamas. 😇
