(1) B. Anderson says:

It’s a little appalling how the ads are done, almost making parents who formula feed feel as if they are somehow damaging or harming their child. People who are such supporters of breastfeeding need to endorse it, yet stop pushing it so much onto other my gosh it is ridiculous. Okay, so you like breastfeeding, well others don’t. Others don’t have the pleasure of it being easy, or can even do it at all, shame shame on the “advocates” for pushing way too hard. We do not have so called “wet nurses” that they had back in the day, so the other choice for people who cannot or do NOT WANT to breastfeed is formula, and THAT IS JUST FINE, THANKS.
