I am the doula for a pregnant woman who didn't breastfeed her first because
she thinks it's gross, even though she knows it's the best thing. Told me
she feels like a bad mom for not having done it, but just couldn't bring
herself to. I gently talked her into trying just one feeding (she sounded
open to one feeding) to see how it goes, told her she can always stop. I
would love to be able to back myself up with a study that shows the short
AND long-term benefits of even just a few feedings or a week of nursing
versus formula feeding. Does anyone know of one off the top of her head?
