My mother was hurt incredibly by lactivism when I was tiny, and no doubt it contributed to what seems to have been in hindsight massive PND. In fact, the nurses at the hospital where she recovered from a C/S-cum-myomectomy would only let her see me for FIFTEEN MINUTES A DAY because she wasn't breastfeeding. Still makes my blood boil to think of that. She spent more time with my DD as a tiny baby than with me! Therefore, I've been extra careful not to be judgmental when it came to breast vs. bottle, and I know that I was lucky to have a baby with a good suck.

C-sections have their place, formula has its place. Thank God for both!
