You’re only a breastfeeding Nazi if you gas people who don’t breast feed. Since you have plenty of friends who don’t breast feed I’m going to assume you’re not, in reality, a Nazi. Of course, I don’t know any of your friends soooooooo…..?
Never mind her. She’s just jealous of your experience.
I actually did both for #1 and exclusively breast for #2. So far #1 is winning the smarts wars….#2 thinks eating sand is akin to creme brulee. Well, I guess they are both crunchy…… *sigh*

I can’t believe she called you a breastfeeding Nazi just because you preferred to breastfeed over using formula! I tried breastfeeding my son but had such a hard time getting him to latch on properly and he’d go ballistic when he couldn’t get any milk, then I’d get frustrated, etc. After two months, I gave up. I think I’ll try again if I have another baby though!

She did not say that at all…

She was not saying anything negative about any mothers who chose not to breast feed.

Maybe you should read that again.

Anyways, GREAT POST!
It is very refreshing to finally meet someone who enjoyed breastfeeding that does not push their beliefs on everybody else.

Great post,
I will be following you from now on!

I breastfeed all my kids but my son was in NICU for a week. I didn’t even get to hold him till he was a week old and my Mom held him first! I remember telling her I hadn’t even held him! I remember seeing him being fed by a nurse or someone and they never even let me hold him or feed him! I was so tramatized by his situation that I could never even fill out his baby book because it was so upsetting what happened to him.

Totally agree! I had to force them to take me to the NICU to see Emma. When I got there I wanted to nurse her and they told me no…I said say what?? She said that I could not nurse her. I asked her if she was getting a bottle and she said yes, I said then I can friggin’ nurse her! So I picked her up and did.

Since my youngest was born early and was in the NICU I had a very hard go at nursing him in the beginning. Not because I didn’t try but because the nurses in the NICU would sabotage me. I would show up to the NICU about every 2.5 hrs and would find that someone had gave him formula!!! Talk about freak the hell out!! So I would have to pump extra and would always make sure there was some breastmilk in the fridge. You’ll never believe it but I caught them giving him formula again!!!
Their reason… “you can’t be here all the time we have to give him something” & “oh you don’t want to have to come down here every 2.5 hours”. YES I do and YES I will!

So even though they know its best they’ll still be the 1st to try and sabotage you if given the chance.

Once he was out we did go on to successful breastfeeding but only because I was determined to do so!
