      Apparently a lot of people in my area. Every time we got any prenatal care we were lectured about vaccines and breast feeding.

      Finally got sick of repeating that we were going to breastfeed and get shots.

      “Hit her (the baby) with whatever you got at whatever appropriate schedule.”

      Nurses mouth dropped.

      “We’re not stupid.”

      “ok… good”

      I am not anti-breastfeeding, but my daughter just was not willing to do it for more than a few seconds and she was willing to take a bottle. My wife pumped breast milk for a while, but it’s a tedious and humiliating thing to do, so after a couple of months, we switched to formula.

      Sometimes breastfeeding just isn’t possible, unfortunately.
