Good morning everyone, I just was very troubled when it comes to political correctness concerning mothers who decide to formula feed their babies. Yesterday I had a long discussion with a good friend of mine and she was behaving very conservative and old fashioned. I couldn't sleep afterwards and did some research on this topic. I did find a lot of pages like breast is best and how you are not a good mother when you are not breast feeding and that every woman is able to breast feed. Anyways this is not a new topic as I did find in the following article: theecologist.org/2006/apr/01/breastmilk-vs-formula-foodIn which year are we living? Mothers might not be able to breast feed out of different reasons and then formula feeding is a very good option for feeding your baby but then I find out that these mothers have to cope with so many fighters against them. I'm very disappointed and also angry. Anybody wants or can add to this topic? Lois

Hi Lois,
I'm very upset myself about this topic too. Especially as I was in the middle of it because I am one of the formula feeding mothers. Due to some health and personal circumstances I decided on formula feed my baby so it would get enough milk and nutrition. I did take the search for the formula very seriously. I did a lot of research on the manufacturing of the formula, talked to my doctor and other mothers and finally decided to use the Dutch Hipp formula. You can read more on ingredients and the history etc. on myorganicformula.com/collections/hipp-organic-formula Then suddenly it started, even my mother was accused me of not taking good care of my baby. I'm so very happy that I have my boyfriend who is and was always on my side. It is very hard when suddenly "the world" is against you. On the other hand after talking about it I did find out that there are also other mothers who have to deal with this problem and that there is a huge community supporting each other. Too bad that mothers and even family might turning against you, this is a very teaching moment!
Yours, Patty

Oh no, I'm so sorry for you! You had to listen to accusations from your mother. This is so terrible! I'm happy that you did find others and have your support now! Lois
