So i go to her place and for me ds was at the breast for like 3 months her dd was on the floor quite i went to hold her for my first time and for me a baby is the best smell i smell her and her breath smelt like formula ther is a difference i dident say anything becouse i thought i was crazy feeding time comes and she went and got a bottle i asked her if pumping worked well for her she told me sorry i dident tell you but i think bf is to hard i dident want to try becouse i was to tired and this way everyone could have the chance to feed dd and then she had the nerve to say dont you think 9m its about time you use a bottle ........................ : excuse me had to share why not just tell me dd was ff and who does she think she is to tell me to stop whends is only9m thank you for listening had to get this of my chest my chest that is full of baby milk and will be for a long time

if she felt like FF was the best thing for the baby she would have no reason to lie- she knows better because you educated her- but obviously her child's health is not her top priority...

Yes, it hurts me the most when somebody lies to me.

not defending formula feeding but some moms really do think formula feeding is better than breast. Even with knowing about breastfeeding and the benefits I was totally unprepared for how hard and how difficult it would be to feed a baby all by myself. After two very stressful weeks, I did give up. I was so anxious I felt like my arms were being electrocuted and was sleep deprived (yes, all moms are) which only made my anxiety worse. It was a vicious cycle and though I felt guilty that i wasn't breastfeeding I also learned to forgive myself. Is two weeks really trying? could I have tried harder....I don't know, I have stopped wondering since what done is done. i know I made the right choice for my family. I had so much more information and support the second time and while we never made it to a year or were eclusively breastfeeding, I feel like I did my best and enjoyed my relationship so much more. *shrugs*

It's pretty horrible that you were lied to.

Maybe your sister in law felt pressured by your efforts to educate her, and it was easier for her to lie or not fully disclose than face what she feared would be a confrontation.
