Trust me, some believe that women who don't breastfeed their children are lazy (I guess that would include me)

Ha! What could be lazier than breastfeeding? No trips to the store for formula, no bottles to prepare, nothing to wash, unless you are among the unfortunate that have to return to work shortly after the birth of a baby. Then trying to continue feeding with breast milk becomes quite a chore.

Er, excuse me. How many children have you breastfed that you are an expert?

I have exclusively breastfed -- no bottles or forumula or pacifiers EVER-- 6 children over 12 years. I was breastfeeding most of those 12 years. You have to have stamina, committment, love, determination, sacrifice, duty, patience, tolerance, and knowledge in order to sucessfully breastfed day and night (and I don't mean to breastfeed for 2 weeks and then go to formula). THAT requires much more than laziness.

How dare you call God's way lazy! It is lazy to allow your precious God-given milk to dry up and buy disgusting cow formula and put that into your baby. You hardly need to mix the gunk nowadays, it's all in a can. You just prop the baby up wit a bottle and you can continue to watch Jerry Springer. You can give the bottle to your mother and go out an party. THAT is laziness.

PLEASE.
