I breastfed my son for 3 weeks and just couldn't handle it. He wouldn't latch on, my nipples were killing me and I just felt horrible after going through a c-section. So he went on formula and that was the end of that. My daughter was adopted from birth. So she went on formula from day one. I am happy to report both children are happy, healthy, grew well, are not malnurished, etc. I do give kuddos to those women who do and can breastfeed. If that's what they chose to do, so be it. But don't tell us non breastfeeding moms that we're doing something wrong. We all need to respect the wishes and actions of other mom's who who believe in things differently.

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
