Slaughter me…: sad that she is not breastfeeding. Besides the obvious health advantages that would have been a great sign for her millions of young followers.

I know that this has been addressed but I am compelled to say how grateful I am to see how our forum members did not allow this awful comment go unchallenged. Not everyone is able to breastfeed nor does it make them any better or worse off.

I wanted to say this too. Hate to keep harping on it- but thank you to those who shared their difficult breast feeding stories. I too struggled and it triggered my descent into ppd/ppa. I felt less than bc I couldn’t produce milk and was hitting myself everytime I tried to pump and only got drops. I felt I didn’t deserve my baby and all of the public stigma around formula and bottle feeding just made me feel worse. So seeing celebrities struggle (Olivia munn was open about it), only helped to normalize it for me.

I was lucky to be able to BF both my kids but learning to do it w my first was a struggle: latching issues, bad mastitis…sigh
Too much emphasis is placed on natural births and BF to the point that can cause stress and emotional pain
I don’t care how the baby was born as long as both, mother and baby, are healthy, safe and thriving; same about feeding
We are lucky we can make choices: women still die during pregnancy and childbirth in the developing world

Body shaming?
She had a baby not so long ago and I giver her kudos for not jumping in the “I gave birth six mins ago and I am back/now/finally into my size zero jeans” bandwagon
Certainly we, women, can be our worst enemy

Many people think breastfeeding is SO easy. Just latch that kid on..and presto! For a lot of us (thank you posters above) have traumatic experiences with it. We add on guilt, shame and humiliation. I get upset just thinking about how badly I was pressured. We are all just figuring it out, day by day..however a parent chooses to nourish their child is theirs alone.

my sister recently helped her DIL with this....I think DIl had some mixed feelings about MIL being so involved but in the end it was a good thing....nursing is always good IMO but these days with the formula shortage it's more important.

anyway - to your point, she did have some trouble getting started
