We’re so thrilled with the response to yesterday’s post! Largely, everyone was so respectful and we’re grateful to those who submitted and those who commented their stories. We will be covering nursing tomorrow, but before we do, we wanted to share the best aids and products from around the web for your bottle fed angel! 1.

why i chose to bottle feed
Breast versus Bottle feeding is a long time hot topic that is sure to fire people up on both sides of the spectrum. One thing we noticed when researching for this post is how moms who decided to bottle feed largely felt and feel judged and looked down on not just occasionally but day in and day out.
