culture, prenatal dx that something is wrong, easily available alternative - all are significant in R/T to outcome. If you live in a country where formula cost is prohibitive or unavailable you are going to want to BF over all obstacles. If you live in US, then oh well it is a lot of trouble, here give a bottle. Unfortunately the mindset in US is that BF is hard, nobody has enough milk
and of course you aren't going to THAT for long anyway, your office is too far from the day care. We still have a long way to go and I am so sorry we have exported our formula way of life to the rest of the world! Pat in snj (I think I need a nap or a happy pill, LOL.)
