Attacking Breastfeeding Mom's for Giving an Opinion!?!

Here is the LINK

What do you think?

Is it wrong for mommy bloggers to give an honest opinion and review of  a product, even though they are compensated? (The article fails to tell you that not all of the reviews of the app were positive, so obviously, reviewers are being honest)

There are also a lot of negative comments on this article, attacking mothers who use the iphone app. Clearly, the man making these comments, doesn't know that most doctors/hospitals, ask breastfeeding, or formula feeding mothers to track the baby's food intake, and diaper changes for a few days after the baby is born. Why not use an iphone app for it? Because an evil formula company made it? WHO CARES! (I DO NOT think formula, or formula companies are evil, this just seems to be the tone of the article, in my opinion. I am pro baby feeding. Whatever way you chose to feed them. COOL!) If it works well, and helps a new mom track her breastfeeding session, AWESOME. I did track my breastfeeding sessions when Jackson was first born, as well as his diaper changes, and sleeping. I probably won't with my next baby, but as a first time mother, i was of course going to do things the way i was instructed by my doctor.

I think it's great that more companies are having real moms test and review their products. Most new mothers turn to other mothers for advice. From what brand of diapers to try, which bouncy chair is the best, and even breastfeeding advice and support. Yes, a lot of the time they are compensated. Again, i say, SO WHAT!? Do they not deserve the compensation? I truly believe most mom's reviewing products are honest. Of course there may be some that aren't. There will always be bad seeds, and i don't think everyone should be painted with the same brush.
