Anya EdwardsI think it's fantastic that breastfeeding is on the rise! In the 1960s, doctors convinced us that formula was actually "healthier" for our children. It's not surprising that nature's way is FAR healthier ... I see a new study to back this up all the time lately. Plus it's more cost-effective, better for Mom (helps with postpartum weight loss and uterine contraction), and greener to boot!

The challenge today is for women in the workforce who are away from their babies from 9-5 and have to pump most of the day. This can really affect supply as you really have to commit to it.
