trully unbelievable, i lose faith in thr justice system day by day

Nothing shook my faith in the medical system more than having kids.

Holy cow is modern medicine still as smugly wrong as it’s always been. Every generation laughs at all the stupid stuff the previous generations believed, and then acts so confident that they’ve got it right this time.

And as a result you get unworthy nurses making moms feel intense shame for not “trying hard enough” to somehow magically produce milk.

Stay away from mommy blogs/forums. Those are the most toxic cesspools I've ever witnessed. Things are changing, some of the newer ones are not nearly as bad, but man the judgement is super real.

Nurses are one thing, but personally, the worst is family members who think they know better and don't understand the data and that times have changed.

FORMULA IS PERFECTLY FINE.

Maternal milk is better than formula in every possible way and there is a perfect scientific consensus around this. Formula is the least worst substitute to maternal milk but going around and screaming that formula is perfectly fine, as if it was as good (or even better!) than maternal milk is denying some very well-established piece of science for likely ideological reasons.

And this is what I'm talking about - Clearly, you've never been a mother who can't produce milk for her child.

I've been there with my wife and I'm only the husband.

Everything you say is true, but by saying this and in this manner, you lack empathy. You sound just like the mommy blogs and their followers that I'm speaking against who spout facts with no room for life's situations. My wife sincerely believed she was less of a mother because of people like this.

I say it again: Formula is _perfectly_ fine. Use it a little or as a total replacement. You're not a lesser mother/parent for it.

When you say more empathy is required, do you mean the same thing should be phrased differently, or do you mean it should not be said at all?

Probably something that says while breast milk is ideal, formula is a great alternative if it's not available.

Acknowledging that formula is a safe alternative and that you don't need to stress.
