As long as the mother and child/children are happy and healthy I just don't understand the big fuss over these silly debates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-49945490999110443422012-05-17T22:39:05.421-05:002012-05-17T22:39:05.421-05:00AMEN sista!!!!

Carly is only a month old and I breast few for only about 2.5 weeks. Because it was HARD and because it kept me from being there for my other 2 kids. To be honest it was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders once I made the decision to give a bottle of formula. By some I feel judged but their way is not my way. <br />I can't stand the tag line Are you mom enough?

The biggest issue I had with the cover was the fact that the mom would be willing to attach her son to her breast and look straight into a camera for all the world to see. Whatever her intentions, it's apparent to me she didn't think much beyond the moment and how this magazine cover will probably follow him the rest of his life. There's a dangerous level of selfishness and narccissim on the mother's part that disturbs me far more than the fact that she still breastfeeds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-31916106916428477292012-05-15T21:19:33.119-05:002012-05-15T21:19:33.119-05:00Great blog!

Many other women/moms I know had a lot to say about it and it's so discouraging and ugly of women. This article does the same thing. Pits everyone against each other. Do what works for your family and own it. No apologies. You are mom enough b/c you are the baby's mom.JMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351555186262835972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-62757059946891278262012-05-15T20:52:55.810-05:002012-05-15T20:52:55.810-05:00Kim, you addressed this issue so well!

I believe the reason us mothers are so hard on ourselves or some easy to point fingers is because society has made it that way! You are so right in saying that what is good for one may not be best for another. A mother may not be able to breast feed for medical condition, or just her own reasoning, that doesn't make her less of a mother that makes her a great mother making her own decision of raising her child, just like with breast feeding makes mothers great mothers for making that decision for raising there children, the same goes with co-sleeping, cry it out/not cry it out etc, you are so right it is the parents decision and shouldn't be so pressured by the media. I was taken a back by the article myself. Thanks for posting pretty girl and hey more than two of us read lol xoxoSummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128650733126405935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-77742030414313453912012-05-15T16:56:25.200-05:002012-05-15T16:56:25.200-05:00AHH I agree so much. I am MAD at this article for ...AHH I agree so much. I am MAD at this article for comparing, for putting mothers down! I am in the situation as you. Our first child is adopted so I couldn't breast feed - but he is a vibrant, smart, happy loving boy that LOVES this momma so much. Then we have our daughter we choose to pump and it worked out well. SHe is to happy, healthy and so attached to me! I love them dearly. When I saw this cover (Before reading the artcile). I did for our situation state that it wouldn't work for me - our son and daughter - our getting so big so independent so into eating food, drinking and using the bathroom themselves. I am a full time working mom - this wouldn't work for me or our situation. Did I talk bad about her oh no but my opinion for us is NO we did not and would not breastfeed at that age. <br /><br />I hate the knocking down of people. I feel as long as the person is not mentally/physically harming the child/ren then their parenting tecqnigues are for them to decide not me and VICE versa!! <br /><br />Great blog today!momFITtingitallinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642349889858630103noreply@blogger.com
