Bullshit. You denied your child both desperatly needed antibodies and a sense of bonding that only comes from breastfeeding. If you didnt want to raise your child the right way you shouldnt have had one. A child isnt your property. A child isnt a pet. Its child abuse IMO without a valid medical reason.
