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.

My apologies. I had no idea that what I wrote would offend you or anyone else.

All those things on your list apply to parenting, not just breastfeeding. Honestly, any committed parent is definitely not lazy whether their baby is fed by bottle or breast.

Breast feeding doesn't keep anyone from watching Jerry Springer and having your mother baby-sit doesn't necessarily make one lazy even if its to go to a party. Frankly, I found getting dressed up to go to a party while breastfeeding to be a real chore, but did it from time to time to please my husband.
