It irks me to no end that certains moms tried so hard to cement and shove their beliefs to other moms who don't conform to their ways.The eye-rolling,the forced advocacy made moms felt terrible about themselves.Motherhood ain't a competition who raises their kids better! There are more ways to raise a child than what you believe! Different circumstances permit different ways of raising a child.for instance,i exclusively pump and both of my babies refused to latch.I know with the right technique i could get them to directly feed but i choose to spend time playing with them,cuddle them than to take time teaching them to latch that usually ended up with both parties frustrated and in tears.and please be known that to exclusive pump took a lot of commitment and pain!And these so-called Legion of au naturale moms judged me like i'm too lazy.Good on ya that you came with your nipple blazing and your babies came out being obssesed with your boobs!mine just don't.It was heartbreaking at first but seeing they are growing up just fine,i'm fine too.direct feeding isn't the only way to bond with your child!duhhh.Your children are programmed to love their moms anyway!
At the end of the day,its always about the child.As long as you and your child are happy,that is all that matter.Screw the naysayers.The child doesnt come from their womb and its not them dealing with that child's tantrums.Your child,your way!
