UGH.

that is all I have to say about that.

I'm sorry but breastfeeding, especially pumping, is not for poor people. Pumps are freakin' expensive!! You know what's for poor people?? food stamps to pay for formula.

Oh my god. I know I said all I had to say was "ugh" but I can't stop now. I really really HATE people like that. I hate using "hate" but I really do hate that person. oh my.

It just shows how truly ignorant she is; the lower your income, the more likely you are to formula feed.

Wow. And she is completely wrong. There is not a lot of breastfeeding support provided for low income mothers in the US so like @mrs.wagon said they are more likely to formula feed.

Someone told their friend (when I was nursing my LO with a cover)...breastfeeding is disgusting and low class!

*headdesk*

Be grateful for your own intelligence and kindness.

I would set her straight. So ignorant. -.-

She is just a hater all around and probably can't find anyone who will marry her.

Some people are just plain ignorant

Face palm.......... 1955 called, they want their propaganda back

I would print out the facts about breastfeeding and drop it off at her desk -with- a sarcastic remark about ignorance in the end. She's an idiot!

I breast feed because its the healthiest option for my baby.

I do know my grandma formula fed because they didn't really promote breastfeeding and it was looked at as the "poor" thing to do. She really wishes she had that bond with her kids. She always asks me all kinds of questions about breastfeeding.

That woman is nuts! Thankfully my friends and most of the people in my community support breastfeeding so I haven't had to deal with negative comments like that. But I do get occassional remarks from other moms who weren't able to breastfeed. They will say things like "You breastfed? That sucks cause you'll get saggy boobs". Or "Oh you BF? Well I'm glad I didn't cause mastitis sounds horrible!" Like what @ohapostrophe said...those women tend to have hang ups about BFing so they like to made snide remarks like that.

Obviously she's ignorant and doesn't know the benefits of breastfeeding. My lo is formula fed.... and I'm not even close to being rich.

WOW. Ignant!

Haha, sorry but I have never heard of that comment. Honestly I wouldn't even be offended, I'd just laugh out loud...! haha! And who cares! I'd just tell her, yes I am so poor! Who cares what she thinks.

It's funny because when I was still pregnant I swear I will breastfeed because I also thought it was the "cheaper route" (and of course all the health benefits for mom and baby), but boy that's so wrong!

The pump is expensive, and then there are the pump parts, and extra pump parts. Soooo many bottles I've bought, all those storage bags. Then we have to buy outfits that are breastfeeding friendly. Nursing bras, Boppy pillows, breast pads, breastfeeding cover. Then there are lactation consultant appointments, and all these extra food /drinks we consumed @ 500 calories a day to make the milk (For me I drink papaya juice religiously and those are not cheap). On top of that, some of us (like me) have to see a shrink because of the pressure that I may not be making enough milk, and how the baby is completely relying on me for his well-being. Not to mention we have to get a break from work every 2.5-3 hours to pump for 15-20 minutes. Poor people probably would get fired from their jobs for doing that.
