Breastfeeding - For or against it?

Neecee · Jul 28th, 2008, 10:49 AM

So, following on from another thread that got hijacked by this topic, tell us if you're for or against breastfeeding *EDIT* in your personal situation *EDIT* and why.

And just so that things don't get out of control, let's ALL promise to respect other peoples opinions and choices, whatever they may be!

*EDIT (again)*

Ok, I realise I've worded the title of this topic completely wrong, so at the request of the members here and to avoid offending anyone else, this is the question being asked:

Will you or won't you choose to breast feed?

Hope this calms the situation a bit! Sorry if it was taken the wrong way!

Oh yeah, I'm for, by the way! I think it will be the most natural way for me to bond with my baby as well as giving them the best possible start in life. I just really hope that I manage to get the hang of it, as I have friends who really wanted to do it, but just couldn't get the hang of it and ended up really distressed about it.

The question in your poll goes Are you for or against breatfeeding?.

Thats the context.

I chose not to breastfeed.It definitely,most certainly does not mean that I am against breastfeeding.

I have nothing against you creating this poll,but I just think you worded it wrong.
And I believe women with the same opinion as me will see it like that too.

And it has nothing to do with my political views,I don't know why you would think it does...
