I'm not one to really debate, but I do find it selfish to not breastfeed if you are able to. It's better for the child and the family financial situation. Like jase said...formula is expensive. I think I figured that by my wife taking on the very demanding task(no denying it) we saved around $300 a month. In addition to that we also use cloth diapers to save even more money. My girl is able to have a lot more stuff(toys and clothes) because of those two things, and so are my wife and I.

I breastfed my son, and he has horrible allergies. Kids are either going to develop allergies or they're not, they are hereditary, and if they get the genes for it nothing will prevent it (that is a statement directly from our family allergist). And as for a guy making that statement, the woman is the one who has to go through everything that breast feeding entails. No matter how much a guy is around it or witnesses it, he still does not experience it firsthand. That is why it's a woman's choice, and there is nothing wrong with choosing not to, nor is it selfish. Formula or breastmilk, as long as a baby is loved, nurtured, and nourished, then the mother is a great one :)

Ask any pediatric professional and they will tell you that breastfeeding is better for your child, for lots of reasons. And while they aren't my tits, it is my child and I wouldn't choose to have a child with someone who wasn't willing to breastfeed. The fact is that if you aren't willing to sacrifice some convenience, vanity, privacy, or whatever your personal reason for choosing not too, for something that is better for your child, even if only by the smallest amount, then you aren't ready to be a parent.....at least a good one, in my opinion. Parenting is one thing where it is never okay to choose the second best option when you are able to provide the best at no danger to yourself.

      Panthers Prospect Visits/Meetings

      I do not want nor have the energy to start a sanders vs BY topic..... Heres where Im at, what else is Titans Levi's or colts Arich going give in a trade...... Im no sanders fan, but it wouldn't bug me if caralas/Brandt/tepper/who____ wanted to go another route.....yes its been a QB whirlwind since ...to long.... still Im not sold on the skill and talent of one BY.   I think this is first year in many in which Carolina with have the same HC, QB, and GM. Its been a mess...

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      No one should be the least bit surprised by this organization doing powerfully stupid stuff. You don't accidentally achieve the worst record in the NFL since 2018, it takes consistently awful decisions to pull that off. And then the cherry on top of the dog poo sundae is that every year when we're closing in on a top 5 pick, here comes a couple of meaningless moral victories to fug that up. I'd be curious what percentage of our wins in the Tepper era have come when we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

      I think remember doing mock Sims for Carolina as many others, I don't think any of picked RBs in any rounds.... I honestly had the same "my team let me down" feels with the BY pick........just WHY all the holes and one of the spots were they have depth AND the RB market is at the lowest point in NFL history..... Just a    Per normal the huddle was for all for Zach Frazier, not me I wanted Marshawn Kneeland. Plus I wanted to REMAIN AT whatever LA pick and NOT TRADE UP FOR A ACL injuried RB. My friend was right, Dan did draft like he was still playing in his era..... ugh, Brandt and Dan cannot have that same problem this year......its beginning year 2 of a full 3 year rebuild..... for fugs sake, please find some talent and depth in later rounds....
