Just a little happy story....I work in the hospital seeing new breastfeeding moms. I have often encouraged women who have chosen not to breastfeed to give it a try. This rarely has any impact. However, occasionally I see one whose baby convinces her. Yesterday I saw a mom of 3. She never breastfed, but this baby was fighting the nipple (yes, the bottle nipple). However, he turned to the breast, so she tried it. He latched right on as if knowing he had this one chance to convince Mom. He has happily nursed several times and they are going home as a happy nursing couple!!! some days have a bit of joy to counteract the hard cases where moms quit breastfeeding because they don't like it.
