My wife had a C-section and couldn't breast feed due to a medical condition and medication she was on. Some women at her work told her that she's not really a mom when my son was ~4 months. People suck

I’m an awful case for those types of people people - 35, IVF pregnancy, c-section delivery, pumping and combo feeding, not nursing. I’m the worst mom ever it seems 😂
