“What’s not okay is not feeding your child.

A second added: “Well I hate bottle feeding.”;;
A third said: “If I came on here saying ‘I hate bottle feeding’ the backlash would be unreal.
“Hating it is fine but state facts, ”;;

Receiving backlash
“It is hugely beneficial to both mother and baby. Of course formula is perfectly fine. But we really need to promote breastfeeding.”;;

“Both mine were from birth!”;;

In one post she wrote: “To clarify...... I don’t hate people that breastfeed, I hate it. I have friends that breastfeed, I don’t hate them.”;;
But wanted to emphasise on the movement of ‘My body my boobies.’
She explained: “Just because something might be marginally nutritionally better, does not mean it’s all round better.
“If you like me, and so many others I know didn’t want to, struggled or couldn’t breastfeed.
“Don’t feel bad. Don’t ever let anyone make you feel bad for that.
“Your mental, emotional and physical is the number one thing that will make you the best mumma bear for your children, not whether they have a bottle or a boob.
“We need to focus more on making mums feel good because; happy mum = happy baby.
“So if you’re in your off your tit every two mins, please pick up a bottle you and your baby will both feel better for it.
Not breastfeeding
“Sick of mum’s suffering because of the pressure of society. I’m lucky I have never felt any kind of social or peer pressure cause I’m such an ignorant, selfish shit.
“But many women who are better people than me do and it’s not fair!! It’s ok to do what is best for you!!”;;
Luisa explained that she chose not to breastfeed her second or third child as it made her miserable with her first and contributed to post natal .
She added: “I am more than able to breastfeed but I simply don’t like it.
“I also don’t believe the bo**ocks we are fed about it being so much better than formula.
“No doubt there is extensive research to say it’s a bit better but it’s really not a life or death situation!”;;
