I don’t tend to have much in common with celebrities.
While Us Weekly does their best to make the general population feel bonded with the rich and famous by pointing out the fact that they occasionally look like slobs or eat at basic fast-food restaurants, I can’t get past their lavish lifestyles, glamorous vacations, and the fact that they are, in fact, famous.
Celebrities, they’re NOT just like us.
But I have to say that when I read Chrissy Teigen’s tweet about normalizing formula, a little soul sister alert went off in my brain.
Maybe we DO have something in common
All of these feelings came flooding back
I wish that formula had been normalized back then. I wish that I could get those first few months with my son back. I wish I would have cut my losses, given him formula from the get-go, and known that it was the best for us. Because I’d rather have given him formula and been a mom who was present and calm rather than stressed and depressed.
If that’s not a positive trade-up, I don’t know what is.
So let’s join forces with our celebrity friend (who maybe is more like us than we realized) and “normalize formula” right along with “normalizing breastfeeding.” Because even though breast might be best in some situations, it wasn’t for me — or for Chrissy, my new celebrity bestie.
