It's how women make the choice while pregnant, no supply issues, no issues at ALL, pop a bottle of formula from the get-go, that make me upset. Especially when the reasons they offer aren't even logical. Or those who believe if they BF for a week that they are superstars because that's "all" a baby "really" needs. Ugh I could rant forever.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but I have supply issues I've fought with both children to overcome and cannot. I have to use donor milk and when there isn't enough of that, I need to use formula. The number of women CHOOSING to use formula without even trying to breastfeed (let's ignore for a moment the amount of misinformation there is out there about breastfeeding) make me want to cry. Sometimes it does make me cry. .-= {Lynda´s shared blog entry ..<a href="http://btw.digitalwoe.com/2009/09/23/toddler-tantrum-troubles/">Toddler Tantrum Troubles</a>} =-. @Sarah, rampant formula use really irritates me as well.

Not by actual proven NEED, but the moment the baby is born, BAM in goes the Similac bottle. Once you start showing a ton, I'm sure the unwanted, insane comments will start flooding in heh.

My Goodness! I still can't believe that people are saying this to you. I just became pregnant and so far I haven't got the questions about "parenting" or anything but I am sure I will once I am further along. Well good luck on your VBAC. and I hope everyone will leave you alone! .-= {Thasanee´s shared blog entry ..<a href="http://the-shoe-fits.net/2009/07/monday-monday-monday/">Monday! Monday!

If I had people who had similar values as me making the comments I may not get so irritated, would attempt to inform, etc. It's when it's completely misinformed people spouting off about things they know NOTHING about, that I get testy. lol I have to admit, this is the longest I've been pregnant! Daniel was born at exactly 39wks and I am now 39wk2day lol. Thanks!

I get a lot of "why aren't you married/why don't you have a boyfriend/don't you want to have children?" but as I've gotten older (I'm 32 now) I don't worry so much. Often people make thoughtless comments and while I might take them very personally they've barely given any thought to what they said and forgotten it almost immediately. I think if anyone has questions about your parenting they need only look at well adjusted and happy Daniel whom you've raised mostly by yourself. Unfortunately people will always fear what is different but you know deep inside that you are doing what is right for you and your family, so to hell with them. Here's sending you smooth and fast vibes for your labor! .-= {Maree´s shared blog entry ..<a href="http://thebeautifulwitch.blogspot.com/2009/09/beginning-joy-diet-at-another-chapter.html">Beginning The Joy Diet at Another Chapter</a>} =-.

Suddenly though, this time around, EVERYONE is an expert on pregnancy, labor, and parenting in general. So insane to me.

Was it this way with your oldest son as well? Don't people realize that you have a healthy, normal 7 year old at home, so you know what the heck you are doing?!?! I'm not a mother yet, but I hope to not have to hear the negative comments you are having to deal with. If so, I'll tell them all where they can go! :P .-= {Kecia´s shared blog entry ..<a href="http://southerngirlramblings.com/2009/09/19/finally-a-new-theme/">Finally, A New Theme</a>} =-.
