The internet is full of forums for mothers of newborns. Have a look on any one and you’ll likely see a heated debate on breastfeeding vs formula. You see, Ssomewhere along the way, the choice of breastmilk or formula for your baby has become one not of the most nutritious/practical option, but your abilities as a mother.
How did it come to this? When formula milk came along in the 60s/70s it was seen as a godsend to mothers who were struggling to breastfeed, and juggle devoting themselves to their babies’ feeding needs with other family pressures.
Fast forward to the 21st century and the campaign to encourage breastfeeding vs formula has seen ‘troops’ on both sides line up to take aim and hurl abuse at one another for their opinions.
