As long as you're giving your child love they will thrive.

You'll often find mothers commenting about Susie's applesauce stain and how little Mikey will never amount to anything in life. In once overheard mothers criticize another by commenting on the fact that her bra strap slipped. They said that meant she had to be poor! I can't wait until the day that mothers stop beating each other up.Laurahttp://blog.dialdoctors.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457430229512956956.post-27716737664138274412011-09-15T11:23:23.650-04:002011-09-15T11:23:23.650-04:00Spoken like a true warrior.

I am sooo tired of the breastfeeding versus formula feeding argument. I did a combo with my boys and when I had to switch to formula I was so disappointed with myself, especially with my first. We really need to work harder to support mothers whatever their decisions are, that's my advice to everyone who is around a new mom.SMHMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713900819151049811noreply@blogger.com
