Apparently some breastfeeding advocate insulted you at some point with your decision to bottle feed and you'll be darned that any one be pro-breastfeeding in case they make a bottle feeding parent feel bad. I'll say something I said on a message board once a long time ago - only YOU can make yourself feel bad about your choices. If you are secure that your choices for your child were the right ones, there would be no defensiveness. Only you know your own situation. Why worry about what others say/think?
You know, I just don't run into that where I live. Here it's generally accepted that breastmilk is the best thing for baby, and even bottle feeders acknowledge that but no one makes anyone feel bad about it. I've seen it on message boards, but never IRL. Maybe us Canadians don't talk about it as much, I dunno. Do you all have the posters all over doctor's offices about 'breast is best'? There's breastfeeding posters (showing actual boobs) all over doctor's offices here. Would that offend you?
