I write regularly over at Strollerderby at Babble on many topics. But the one that always gets people riled up is my take on breastfeeding v. formula feeding. I've experienced both as a parent (I formula fed my twin daughters and currently breastfeed my 2 1/2 year old toddler)... but I had such a poor experience with La Leche League and judgmental lactation consultants with the twins, I align myself more with the women who formula feed and bottle-feed than with the breastfeeding advocates.
Today I'm writing about how women who try and work and pump have a tough time of it primarily because most working moms have insufficient support and maternity leave to establish a relaxed breastfeeding relationship with their child.
You can read about it today if you like and weigh in....

I prefer the formula crowd a lot more mainly because they are so less judgmental in my experience. I know the breast feeders are always complaining that they feel they are being judged ect but most formula feeds i've had contact with don't care what you do or how long you do it for as long as you feed your child.
