bullying and breastfeeding

First, I want to start and tell you all a little journey about my photography career. Ive always had an interest in photography but my husband and I could never afford to spend $700 on my camera, let alone the rest of the equipment to go with it so i never really decided to act on it until this year. but I want you all to know that I was threatened to be sued by who I thought was family. People that I took in when they were literally homeless because thats the people my husband and I want to be. caring, loving individuals especially to our family. I was being cyber bullied, though comments werent directly made to me they were about me being a photocopy etc. But now as I look back I am the original copy. I have never once been fake about who I am. I didnt pretend to be anyone im not. Im not stealing others ideas. I started taking photos behind the scenes as something I wanted to be my original thing, I wanted to blog for my original thing, and all this does is help me strive to be even better. Because I know that deep down I am my own original copy, and I dont need anyone to reassure me of that. I dont need to cyber bully people for wanting to follow their dreams. I will work with them and help them. If they have a question ill answer it, if they need advice ill give it because that is who i was taught to be. But i want everyone to always remember, that there are some pretty crappy people who will do anything to bring you down. DON'T LET THEM. Thats what they want, the want to see you fail. It'll make things so much better for you to succeed without anyones approval but your own. I know that I am doing a damn good job, as a wife, as a mother, and a photographer. I am following my dreams thanks to all of you who help make it happen. Now theres one, well two things I also want to get off my chest. Breastfeeding and the cry it out method.
Now I am in no way shape or form judging any formula feeding mother, i was formula fed and i came out perfectly fine, I know its not for everyone, but we need to start normalizing breastfeeding. What did mothers do before formula was invented? They had wet nurses who would breastfeed other babies. When did it become such a shame for a woman to breastfeed her sweet child in public? Its okay for strippers and women with big boobs to be all over tv and walking around with them hanging out but feeding your child is a sexual act? how does that even make sense? Women were born with breasts to nourish their children, not for anything sexual. They dont cover up in any other country so why should we here? why should we  especially in florida force our babies to have these hot blankets over them because someone is disgusted by breastfeeding? its amazing to me. so I want all breastfeeding moms to join with me and normalize breastfeeding! I know some women are shy and dont want to be uncovered in public, my husband wanted me to cover up and i understand why. but now everytime i see a mother nursing in public i walk up to her and say youre doing a great job, because thats what they need to hear. it makes me cringe when someone wont even try to breastfeed when they say thats gross im not doing that. why not? why dont you want to at least try to give your child the best? i tried formula for my son and it didnt work  out, it made him literally sick. and last but not least, this cry it out method. PLEASE STOP! stop letting your babies cry to the point of exhaustion. please cuddle and comfort them, they are babies! I hate these articles talking about letting them CIO! they are crying for a reason! okay sorry for the rant lol i hope that breastfeeding is normalized soon, the bullying stops, and babies are comforted the way they should be. heres my photo of the week
