I chose breastfeeding. I chose breastfeeding. I felt it was the best for my family. It wasn't easy and it was something I had to fight for. Thankfully I had a lot of support in my family.
When I talk about my breastfeeding and why I chose to breastfeeding I'm not judging you. Sometimes I hate breastfeeding. Sometimes I hate that it dictates my schedule and how Ella can pick some pretty inconvenient times to decide that she's hungry. I've been late to appointments or had to nurse in the van. Ella gets distracted easily so I have to find the most private place I can find or she's watching what's going on instead of eating.
However, for me nursing is the best answer. I don't get more dishes on top of the mountain of dishes I already have to wash. I don't have to worry about trying to make sure a bottle is just the right temp in the middle of the night because thanks to the age gap with my children I don't get naps during the day.
However it was my choice. My decision for my children. It's worked out for me thankfully. I will still say that breast is best though. Breast is best if you can do it. I did formula with my son though. It wouldn't make any sense for me to judge others for a choice that I've already made. It just wasn't something I wanted to do again. I was lacking sleep so badly with my son that I ended up getting sick. I couldn't imagine doing it with two. On top of that formula is expensive. So, I made the best choice I could for my family.
Besides isn't there enough mommy judging going on already?
