Dear Anonymous,

I have a few things to say in response to your comment to my breastfeeding post.

First, if you are breastfeeding and supplementing with formula because you just can not produce enough milk to sustain your baby, then I do think you are doing the best thing for your baby -- not that you need my approval. Baby Doodle had formula when he was 3 days old because he hadn't latched on right for many, many hours and his pediatrician said he needed some supplementation so he wouldn't starve. I was fine with it, what ever is best for my baby is what I want. If you are unable to produce enough milk for your baby to thrive then by all means give that child some more food!

Second, I agree with girlfiend's response to your comment on her blog. I was referring to women who don't really want to breastfeed in the first place and use milk production issues as an excuse.
