I have to admit I was suspicious when I read bottle-feeding mom's post. Accosted by strangers on the street? For bottle feeding? Being a thin-skinned kind of gal, I nursed my babies at home but bottle-fed them pumped milk when out in public. I never received so much as a second glance when bottle feeding. Although, to be honest, when I did attempt breastfeeding in public (at the mall, no less!), I didn't notice too many stares. I think the whole discussion brings up the fact that we moms are so very sensitive about our choices. Breastfeed, pump, formula-feed, work, stay home... Do what you have to do! Babies are incredibly resilient and won't fault you for your choice. Let's not be our own biggest critics.
