- On the other hand, if you know nothing about the differences between artificial feeding and breastfeeding, or if you DO know the differences, and *choose* to feed your baby formula instead of breast milk, your guilt comes from YOUR OWN knowledge that breastfeeding is better. Not from "lactonazis" or "militants," but from your own mind.
