    with the exception of women with health problems i dont believe women who say they cant breastfeed, more like they just cant be bothered trying, yes its hard the first few weeks, yes sometimes its very painful, yes sometimes you feed baby non stop and its hard work and you feel like , but so did i and managed to feed my daughter till she was a year old despite numerous bouts of mastitis, sore nipples etc so just stop moaning oh i cant feed i had to bottle feed had no choice bla bla

    I tried twice with both my boys and they had real trouble latching on and I had some health problems which made me stop.

    I think everyone who can breastfeed successfully and cope with the pain and put up with the ignorant people who stare etc are fantastic. I wish I could have done it.

    I just wanted to say that although breast is best, not everyone can do it and some have to switch to the bottle. So please no criticism of bottle feeders as you never know the reason why that mother is bottle-feeding.

    Personally I was very upset not to be able to feed myself and forced to switch to bottle to avoid too much weight loss and because of health problems.

    Please don't judge the ones who bottle feed, it is not always the lazy easy option that has been taken by the mother, sometimes there is no other alternative.
