One thing I would suggest to this mum is that perhaps she might consider the
$1000-2000 that she will spend on infant formula if she weans and instead
spend the $$ on what she needs to keep breastfeeding...maybe this would be
on an LC to get bub to the breast, maybe it would be on a house
cleaner...whatever would allow her to keep at it. Why not spend the money on
giving her baby the food he needs than stuff that just doesn't match
up....the money will be spent either way.
