Baby formula
A sign of our times is the common practice of joining a forum for discussing things. Almost any topic is discussed in forums. This is the modern equivalent of the old practice of chatting while sitting on a fence, or visiting neighbors or barbershop talk.
Funny but in most community discussion forums, a topic is that of breastfeeding in public. There’s always a lively discussion of this thread, with multiple posts and opinions arguing for or against public breastfeeding. My opinion of the matter is aesthetic, nutritional and economic: there should be nothing wrong with public breastfeeding.
The alternative of course is to feed the baby with baby formula. I have nothing against the bottle. I think that it’s a great invention. It liberates the mother so she can continue and have a career. But still, it doesn’t have the beauty and bonding of breastfeeding. Though I do agree with the bottom-line that it’s more of a woman’s decision to feed from the bottle or from her breasts.
