"So judging women for choosing not to breastfeed is not okay whatever her reason."

I can't agree completely with this. Yes, there are legitimate reasons why some women don't breastfeed, such as being unable to do so. Yes, I agree they absolutely shouldn't be judged for not doing something that is physically impossible. But I don't think all reasons are equally valid.

Let's say that a parent is deciding which school to send their kid to, School A and School B. Now let's say that it's generally agreed that out of those two options, School A provides the best education. School B is good... but not quite as good. Now let's say that School A costs $5,000/month while School B costs $4,500/month, which is surely going to figure into the decision making when the parent chooses a school.

Now, if a parent can only afford the $4,500/month tuition, it'd be heartless to blame them for not sending their kid to School A instead of School B. Only dicks would judge them for not having the money for the best school. But if the parent has the money to pay for School A yet chooses School B because they prefer to spend the extra $500/month on say, pot and pizza and other fun stuff for themselves instead of tuition, is that just as valid a decision as the parent who can't afford School A?

Parenting involves a great deal of self sacrifice. Not everyone's prepared to do it or they have varying levels of self-sacrifice and while for the most part it's good not to judge... well, there are some circumstances where judging is appropriate, IMO.

Whaaaaat. Breastfeeding is self-sacrifice now is it? Actually it's usually a lot easier. Speaking from experience of both.

If you don't want to do it, you probably have your reasons and I ain't gonna question them. Formula is fine. Parenting is a morass of choices and compromises.

Your posh analogy is so boring and unrealistic.

That is not a good comparison. Breasts are part of a woman's body. If she doesn't want to breastfeed, that is her choice about what to do with her body. That is nothing like choosing schools.
