It still bothers me, although not as much as it did when I thought new moms weren't allowed to bottle-feed. |
I still remember the nursing coach saying something like "Think of formula like alcohol. You wouldn't want to give your baby alcohol, would you?". And pumping wasn't enough for her. It doesn't nurture the mother-baby relationship like actual breastfeeding. It's ok only when absolutely necessary. Oh, and she actually CALLED ME AT HOME at least once every three days to make sure I was still breastfeeding. P.S.Y.C.H.O.
