i didnt really know where 2 ask about this but this seemed the best section.
i have been attending antinatal classes for the last 4 weeks. the last one i went to was about feeding. the midwife asked for people to put there hands up who was planning on breastfeeding. out of about 25 of us...i was the only one planning on bottlefeeding.
the midwife made me feel like i was a bad parent before i have even given birth. saying all the pro's of breastfeeding but no pro's about bottle but instead all cons.
i have chosen to bottle feed as me and the babys dad are no longer together so it seems more convinient. plus i cant say i really want to breastfeed and i imagine you would have to be really commited to it.
now i feel so guilty after i heard all these things she was saying. she made me feel like im going to be feeding my baby crap.
i know midwifes are meant to promote breastfeeding but it seemed asthough she was totally discusted by mothers who bottle feed.
is it really that bad to bottle feed?
