Getting it off my chest...

So, I've been posting a lot of links to blogs, news articles and other various shit about breast feeding and vaccinations. I've noticed my friend count dropping and people posting statuses on their Facebook pages about how they feel terrible because they formula feed or about how they vaccinate their children because they think it's safe because their doctor (who gets paid by pharmaceutical companies to give people vaccinations) said their babies were going to die otherwise.

I wanted to let everyone who reads this blog and my Facebook know that I am not trying to make anyone feel bad...I am simply sharing information I find interesting. It is your choice whether or not to read what I post. It is your choice whether or not to respond to it. It is also your choice in how to parent your child. I have my beliefs...I believe that babies should get breastmilk, even if it is from another Mother. (Mothers get tested for diseases and share diet information before sharing milk. They feed their babies with that same milk...They wouldn't if there were something wrong with it...They aren't trying to kill your baby. Breastfeeding Moms are passionate about what they do.) I believe that babies should not be vaccinated because I have done my research and the risks are far worse than the benefits. I don't believe what doctors tell me because they don't deal with my children on a day to day basis. They don't KNOW me or my children. And they certainly won't blame a vaccine when it causes an adverse reaction and parents who have vaccine injured children KNOW what caused their healthy, advanced child to suddenly stop developing and become ill. Mothers and fathers have watched their developmentally advanced children get diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, PDD, OCD, ODD, Bi-Polar Disorder...And the parents KNOW what caused it only to be dismissed as crazy because they don't have an MD after their name.

My point is, you can love me or hate me. At the end of the day, one fact remains...We all love our children. Even if you think my choices are wrong or I think your choices are wrong, it doesn't change the fact that we love our babies and we do what we think is best...Or what a doctor tells us they think is best. (Because, ya know...They know just what EVERY child needs.)

Until next time...
Live, laugh, love...Always hug and kiss your children and tell them you love them.
