8. +1000. I got so much pressure with my baby...

When my sister turned up at the hospital after I had my little cherub, she brought with her a basket of bottles, formula and all that associated stuff and spent the time haranguing me about how formula was better than breast feeding. And then about two months or so later when the little cherub was struggling to feed and I was going to start supplementing breast feeding with formula, I got so much pressure in the other direction from my best friend, who basically told me I was a bad mum if I gave up breast feeding. In the end I told them all to fuck off and did what I thought was best for my baby. And it worked out well for me once I stopped listening to everyone
