Actually, formula IS pushed in the UK. They gave Caitlyn a bottle without even asking me. If you are struggling they do not push you to breast feed they just say "why don't you give them a bottle then?"


I'm a teen and I breast feed. People are suprised but I'm proud of myself x

Haha I love how the UK's mentioned and then the word 'contrary', such a british word
But she's right, breastfeeding's being promoted loads over here, in fact some midwives are quite pushy about it I do believe!

I'm choosing to breastfeed, for ALL the reasons that've been stated before, so I wont point them out myself.

My opinion is, bottle or breast, at least we're feeding our babies! Everyone's different, some people can't BF physically, some just can't for personal reasons, as long as our little ones are getting their milkies then it's all good (:
