Click here for today's PSA from the Nipple Nazis!! Formula is apparently such a terrible-sounding choice that a Facebook group has been established to share breast milk with other moms. Hey, if you want to share your breast milk with other moms who would like to use it, great! It's not the concept I have a problem with, it's the attitude that makes moms feel as though they need to go to these extremes. As any new mom knows, you have enough to worry about and figure out than to have to deal with this type of unfounded guilt.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
"...the Internet has been abuzz with parents (aptly nicknamed "lactivists") just dying for a chance to share their opinion on the subject.
"If you make a choice to formula feed out of convenience, then you do not deserve to have kids!" said one poster.
"Every baby deserves human milk," said another.
Needless to say, new moms are feeling squeezed.
"If we formula feed, we feel we are giving our amazing children 'second best' or handicapping them for life," said one mother who admitted to sobbing in the shower from shame and guilt when she gave up breast-feeding."

Enough said. Nipple Nazis, be gone!!
