So...I have never gotten anything but support on Diaperswappers, but I found a mama today that just can't let anyone make their own choices apparently. I plan to nurse for the first 4 weeks, then pump and nurse for the next 2, then EP after that since I will be away from baby about 41 hours a week between work and the commute. I'm not saying I won't ever nurse when I am home, but not always. I didn't realize that the war is not just between formula feeding mamas and breastfeeding mamas, apparently some of the bfing mamas don't really like those of us that pump. I know it's silly to think that the battle lines are drawn that way, but they really are. Not all mamas are that way, but man, there are a bunch that are on that bandwagon and down the road with it.
I just really had my feelings hurt, which I why I guess I should have known better than to even post for help. I just assumed I would get help and not criticism. Okay...that's all...just needed to get out that I can believe that happened, but I wish I couldn't. I was naive enough to think it wouldn't.

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I hope everything works out just fine. Another DS mama here and it's always sad when you don't get the support that you're looking for. I actually saw a post you had on a thread and was excited to see that your name is Hadley!! My dd is named that and I've only ever met one other person with that name and I was just excited and wanted to say Hi! Hope you're DSing experiences get better and I'm emilyjoy16 BTW!
