The underlined portions read “Breastfeeding is the best thing for your baby”

These pictures are taken straight off both of our formula boxes.

A daily, or hourly, reminder to all parents using formula that the way they are feeding their baby is “second best.”

I think it’s fair to say that we have all heard this enough. For a reason that is personal and individual and no one else’s business, we are using formula. And we don’t need anymore reminders that we “should” be breastfeeding instead.

This might be only in Germany, but I have a feeling it isn’t.

So, on behalf of the messy mommies and anyone else who is using any formula, can the formula companies just stop?

We’re back! With a brand new episode for you
The thing about breastfeeding part 1, and it’s a juicy one. And maybe not the journey of breastfeeding you were thinking.
In 2021 it’s wayyyy more common to see stories of successful breastfeeding plastered across your new feed, while the formula mothers hid away from posting about feeding their baby because of the guilt and shame.
An article from this year researched guilt and shame among mothers who did not, or were not able to, breastfeed and found that…
“formula feeders experienced guilt more commonly than breastfeeding mothers…. [And] both guilt and shame were associated with self-perception as a bad mother and poorer maternal mental health”*

So let’s normalize breastfeeding struggles. Let’s stop hiding our bottles and formula because we are ashamed or guilty.
We have enough to feel guilty about without adding more to our plate

The thing about us is we embrace the mess. We invite the chaos. We roll with the punches. Becoming mommies during a global pandemic in a foreign country with family half way across the world has been anything but easy. But through our journeys of mommyhood we have realized we are better in this together.
