    What the hell society are you living in, Anita? My wife and I are bottle-feeding, and when some people hear that, they look at you like you've announced you're letting the baby sleep in the backyard under a tarp. The "breast is best" mafia have no qualms about butting in and telling you, basically, you're harming your baby by using formula, despite no evidence that it's any better or worse for them.

    Never in my life have I heard of someone telling a woman who breastfeeds she's hurting her baby and should really use formula
