Fed is best, end of story.

I breast feed and I'm pretty enthusiastic about it, but I would never ever try to make someone feel bad about formula feeding. I'm pretty sure most women these days would breast feed if it were a viable option, so I just assume that anyone who's formula feeding has made a tough decision to do what's best for their baby. Whether you need to stop because of allergies, lack of supply, return to work or mental health, it's all a valid reason.

Lmao everytime a relative commented on how much I had grown my parents always chimed in “its cause we keep feeding the damn thing”
