Chrissy Teigen, who is 35 today (November 30th), took to Twitter to discuss the age-old, controversial debate of breastfeeding versus formula feeding.
I remember pumping my ASS OFF, highest mode, so often, because I didn’t trust milk was going into their mouthes if I breastfed. it drove me mad to the point I could only get an ounce. an ounce!

Teigen revealed she had trouble breastfeeding her children, Luna (4) and Miles (2), and says she felt shame, guilt, and embarrassment from not being able to breastfeed her children.
the stress of it, combined with the guilt that you cannot do nature’s most natural thing for your own baby is too much. I dunno why this is my crusade now. I just remember the sadness I felt and want you to know you are doing it right if your baby is fed, mama.

Instead, she opted for formula feeding her kids, something that many felt wasn’t good for the children. “Ok I’m gonna say something and you all are definitely gonna make it a thing but here goes: normalize formula,” Teigen tweeted followed by a long thread explaining her stance.
Oh I’ll just respond to myself, actually: the point is not how great breast milk is. WE KNOW THAT. the point is FORMULA IS OKAY … *weeeee are not talking about youuuuuuuuuu*
