In Dallas, Texas, we face the opposite. My wife wasn't able to breastfeed for a variety of reasons. Even when you tell someone that breastfeeding wasn't medically possible for us, people still want to give you advice on how we should have done things differently and how breastfeeding is so much better. There are a lot of women who seem to think that using formula is a hair short of child abuse and are very vocal about it in America, which leads to all kinds of neuroses in those who can't or don't wish to breastfeed.
