I believe that Nursing like abortion should be a Woman's choice! Grandmas, Grandpas, great grandparents, uncles, aunts, why to an extent even the father (he can have some say, but not all) ... have right to believe what they believe but never force their opinion upon the mother. I say, if you can't donate your boob for feeding then stay out of it!
Some people like to believe that birth and all else that follows should happen in a certain way.
Are you breast feeding? If you are not, then they feel you are depriving the child of something so important. Some people want to do it, some people don't want to do it and some like me are open and willing to give it a shot... If I don't get it or the baby won't get it.... just LEAVE it!
"Oh no!!!!!" they exclaim "Dont get him used to the bottle, he will never go back to nursing again".... SO, what????
As far as I am concerned, if the child gets his/her nutrition and continues to develop well, who the hell cares if the baby got food from the boob or the bottle? I don't think my child will complain about the lack of boob time when he is an adult.

Absolutely....I hear you...don't listen to all the BS that people dish out...some people just have to have an opinion about anything and everything, irrespective of whether it's rational or not...just do whatever you think is right and I am cent percent sure Nikhil will not have a problem with it now or ever!
Haha!!! I just alnded on your blog from Priyanka's... i love the last line: "child will complain about the lack of boob time when he is an adult. " Well said!
I agree..if it happens.. it does.. if it doesn't... there is always formula which is equally nourishing for the child! Dont worry about it... i am sure there will be people telling their opionions... follow: "My CHild- my Rules"!
@ Priyanka - Thanks yaar. These days given that my hormones are all over the place, sometimes I feel that I am so easily swayed... there are times I think practically and then there are times I doubt my own judgement.
@GNSD - Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note. You said it right - My child My rules! That's a good mantra to live by.
