I'd had a C-section and my milk just wasn't coming in. I wanted to breastfeed, but finally just decided against it; as a single parent I had enough stress and problems on my plate. Well, you would have thought I'd decided to just not feed him at all and throw him to the wolves or something. She turned into a really rude bitch, I had to ask that she not enter my room anymore. Who the hell was she to judge me?
