sometimes I couldn't express enough and my husband would give our daughter a bottle of enfamil when I just had to get out of the house for a break. I loved it. I think they should not ban them, though Ithink they have all but done that here already. Not sure but I think they have. I support a woman's right to choose. When I had my oldest I tried to breastfeed but didn't do a good job and ended up having to bottle feed her. I would have had to anyway because I was working and am pretty sure my job wouldn't have been happy to have me take time out of my day to express milk.
When I had my second child I breastfed partially for financial reasons and because I wanted to. Had better help and succeeded. Breastfed my third child also. But that was a choice I made. I resent another way for women to be looked down upon. Breastfeeding isn't easy. I spent a lot of time separated from everyone while feeding my kids. I was the only one I knew who was breastfeeding. It was painful at times. Once they started biting that was the end of breastfeeding. I have a scar from my middle child.
I don't agree with bullying. Or making a woman feel she has no choice. I have known women who insisted on breastfeeding even though their kid wasn't getting the nutrition they needed. That can be dangerous to the kid. Not everyone can do it. Be it their need to work or their body not being able to. And not everyone wants to. This should not be another way to make women feel like they are less than they are in a sea of ways to make women feel bad about themselves.
If they want to breastfeed, then a bag with samples isn't going to change that. Let's just let women make that choice for themselves. Why do people think we are not capable of doing that?
