Less that 1% of women have a true milk supply problem, whereas a much higher percentage than that claim they do. The only other thing I can understand is when women are on some sort of drug that is not safe to pass to the baby.<BR/><BR/>I say, at LEAST give it a try before you rip on it. A few people in DH's family, who NEVER breastfed, told me how much work it is. Um, no it isn't. It's actually EASIER.<BR/><BR/>Prior to the invention of formula in the 1950s, women didn't have another choice. It has been done for who knows how many centuries; I feel it is a completley natural thing.<BR/><BR/>At one time (my grandma's generation), the formula companies had women believing that formula was SUPERIOR to breastmilk. Because of this, my grandma formula fed her children, and tried to convince my mom to FF us (she didn't take her advice).<BR/><BR/>I don't know.<BR/><BR/>I totally think women can choose. Yet, I know what it's like to be on this side and have people think that breastfeeding is gross or something. Breasts were never considered sexual objects until our society made them so.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214456605607882879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142341710951463044.post-63730420757843004532008-11-26T18:39:00.000-06:002008-11-26T18:39:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Catiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215260982536422697noreply@blogger.com
