Proud to bottle feed?

It's the persecution complex. Eighty percent of babies are formula fed by six months, so she definitely isn't alone in bottle feeding!! I don't know why she'd be proud of it, it's not like it takes any real effort on her end. I bottle-fed my first, because he was a preemie, and wasn't strong enough to nurse. I tried pumping, but it was so painful that I literally sobbed every time I did, and even more as I'd have to throw out bottle upon bottle of milk I'd pump, because it was bright red from the blood from my . (Yes, I used lanolin!) My second was full term, plus some, and feeding was actually doable with him, as he could actually nurse! (Eight months, and still going!) So, I'm not just speaking out of my *** when I talk about this form, or that form of feeding your child. I've done both. I don't have a problem with people using formula, it's not my baby, none of my concern. Further more, I don't know their situation. They, like me, may not have been able to feed. Point being, to feel proud about bottle feeding is kind of silly, considering most everybody does it.
