With the current formula shortage it infuriates me that other mums completely tear down Mums for formula feeding. ‘Oh well you should have breast fed then you wouldn’t have an issue’. You know some women want to but just cant. Don’t you think it was enough stress on them trying for so long and nothing happening!
How about you offer some help! What formula do you use. I’ll see if there is some in my area. I saw some at this store. I located some i picked up a tin where can i send it.
Be better people!!!

People are horrible. It is really sad when being nice and helpful is less common than being ignorant. It shows what limited life skills they have to not be able to see things out of their own little world. didn't know there was another formula shortage I'm out of the baby stage so don't keep up with it all. Might be time to get a goat like the old days 🐐.
It never ceases to amaze me the things some people think are appropriate to say!
Genuine empathy seems to be so scarce these days.
Something as simple as providing food for your baby shouldn't be a difficult or stressful exercise. I also hate that in 2022 formula shaming is still a thing!
Perhaps people should mind their business.
I was so sick and pressured to breastfeed my eldest daughter for 12 months through many bouts of mastitis and blocked nipple. I would feed and cry. The antibiotics would give her diarrhoea and she had reflux. A doctor just kept telling me to feed through it. I attended hospital more times than I care to mention. With my subsequent children I lasted upward to a month. As soon as I started getting sick I stopped. Now it angers me when I hear women are still being put through this.
