Even my pregnant SIL made a comment to me about how she will breastfeed and would never consider giving her baby formula in a bottle.


Just so you know -- lol -- this comment is VERY liable to come back and bite her in the butt!!


Back to the original poster -- you are going to have to get used to such comments. Yes they sting, but most people dont seem to WANT to be ignorant (some do however!). Yesterday the grocery clerk made some comment to my kids that "they sure were helpful for this nice lady" (meaning me!). I simply said "well I am their mom so obeying is pretty much a requirement".
