Bottles vs. breast. Big controversy, right? Wrong. There is nothing controversial about what is best for your baby.
I get that some moms can't breastfeed. This isn't about them. This is about the ones who CHOOSE formula. Formula is not mother's milk. It's not. It's not even remotely the same. Does it work in a pinch? Sure. But don't think there aren't repercussions.
And none of this nursing for the first 6 weeks business. Why would you stop? If you work, pump. Again, another post on working moms!
Your baby deserves to have the best you can give him or her. Not for as long as it's convenient. For as long as needed. Guess what? Your baby knows how long is needed.
There is help if you are having problems. No matter what you're dealing with, other moms have been there. And they did it. Some nursed until 2 or 3 years old, so there's no excuse.
Breastfeed unless it's impossible. Point made.
