I have taken heat for formula feeding from a mom who is VERY jealous of the flexibility using formula has given me. My husband and I have been able to leave the twins with their grandparents on a few occasions, and I know if I was breastfeeding that would be almost impossible. I didn't give up breast feeding for convenience, but it has ended up being much more convenient than stressing over supply and pumping, etc. <br /><br />Same with the working mom thing. I could stay home after my maternity leave, but I would rather work and be able to provide my family with the best lifestyle. We need both incomes to continue living this way and I am not willing to give it all up to stay home and end up on extreme couponing shows :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821123837159030243noreply@blogger.com
