328. how dare you use that slur.
that is one of the most vile things to call someone.

I can understand that you were offended that women scorned you for choosing to switch to formula, but that does not give you the right to call anyone a Nazi, except a Nazi.

No one should chastise another for their choice to breast or bottle feed, but perhaps your own personal feelings about switching came into play when someone asked 'are you still nursing'? maybe they were just looking to ask a nursing mom some questions about pumping, you didn't say what followed the question, so I could be totally wrong, but it doesn't sound that awful to me.

Sorry you had such trouble nursing, I hope you had access to an independent lactation consultant and a supportive network of family and friends before you made the decision, that can make all the difference in the world. (not just in making the decision to switch, but also in how you feel after your decision)

No one should feel attacked for their choice to formula feed, and vice versa for breastfeeding.
