What harm will not breastfeeding your children do?

[halley]

"Are you saying that women who don't want to breastfeed shouldn't have chidren?" Honey, what kind of question is that? What do you think women did when formula wasn't around? Breastfeeding and motherhood go hand n hand!

Like Chloe and Tanya said, formula is there for cases when mother is unable to breastfeed,for serious reasons.
If you have serious reasons for not being able to breastfeed, then fine. We do the best we can as mothers, and hope for the best. However if you CAN breastfeed, why don't you
want to?

Edit: Witchy woman, you think women should have the option? Do you think any other mammal on earth has the option? Helloooo we're MAMMALS!!
Saying women should have the option, is like saying, "Oh, I wanna have a baby, but I would like a cow to carry it in her womb..." Yes if a woman has problems, she should have the option to use formula, or at least supplement. But I know women that didn't even try it for a day.
And do you think it's fair for dairy cattle to be exploited so that you can have the option? Do you know that cows give birth and their calves are taken away and aren't allowed to be breastfed so that you can have the choice?
