Hi All,
After reading the referenced article, I'm not so concerned about the breastfeeding information. There is truth to what they are saying and at the end of the paragraph they state "There are many ways to overcome breastfeeding challenges and many sources of support for breastfeeding moms. Many mothers find that the early struggles pass quickly, and they settle into a workable feeding routine with their little one."

I do object to the need to add a section on the "Advantages of Bottle Feeding":
"If you choose to feed your baby formula, there are some advantages:
•Anyone can feed your baby. Grandparents or babysitters can feed your baby while you work or get some well-deserved time with your partner. 
•You can get round-the-clock help. Your partner can help out with nighttime feedings so you can get more sleep. This can be a bonus for your partner, giving them the chance to bond early on with their little one. If you breastfeed, you can also pump your breasts so your partner can feed your baby breast milk.
•You may not have to feed as often. Babies digest formula slower, so you may have fewer feeding times."
