We Are All Moms

I won't go into all of the information on why the article on Not Breastfeeeding by Rosin in The Atlantic is inaccurate. You can go here to the Motherwear blog for more information on the inaccuracies. However, there ARE babies who cannot be breastfed and their mothers should not feel self-conscious wielding a bottle in public.

While I feel Ms. Rosin's article comes across as very selfish (she did not HAVE to have children and, if she was already overwhelmed, why not stop at 2?), I do know that women tend to be hardest on EACH OTHER whether it is at WORK or at HOME. Does the other sex have feuds about Working Dads versus Stay at Home Dads? They could care less.

So next time we see a Mom BREASTFEEDING in public OR BOTTLE FEEDING in public we should salute her as a fellow MOM - part of the group of non-stop working, caring, worrying, SUPERHEROS that MOM is! None of us are perfect. (If I was perfect, my kids would eat salad instead of chicken nuggets.) But we all love our kids.
