Junk???
Quote From: jax3303 The way I see it, if you or I can eat in public, then so can my child. If bottle feeding is allowed in public, then so should breastfeeding. I'd rather see a breastfeeding mother over a formula feeding mother any day. At least with a breastfeeding mother, you know that baby is getting the best food possible, and not some artificial junk. (yes, MY PERSONAL OPINION is that formula is junk). People see more breast from a random woman wearing a low cut top in the mall than you do seeing me breastfeed my daughter. If you dont like a woman breastfeeding in public, don't look. Nobody is forcing you to stare at my child eating. Before you spout off about what is "Junk" please be informed that formula may be the only source of nourishment for a child. I will totally agree that breast milk is best only if the mother eats and drinks nutritiously and (such as in my case) that milk is able to be expressed from the breast (which mine was not). Both my children had to be bottle fed. They are both very healthy, very smart ( straight A's) and very well behaved children. The funny thing is my sister breastfed both of her children and they both are constantly sick and have behavior issues. So I say do what is best for your circumstances but don't judge others decisions unless you know all the facts. That "junk" that child is consuming may be far better than the "junk" that child's mother consumed and is passing along to her baby.
