I sort of skimmed thru it, she kept emphasizing the time it takes to breastfeed.....what about the time to go to the store, buy the formula, mix it, heat it, wash the bottles. I realize someone else can do all of that and only mom can bf, but whose time is being better spent, the mom who is running to the store, making, washing etc -paying attention to everything, but the baby or the mom with baby in her arms?

*high five* That's what I was thinking. It's usually the mom who ends up bottle feeding, shopping, washing dishes, taking that sick child to the doctor, missing work so she can take sick child to the doctor...
Maybe this article is really saying that if you're a stay at home mom, you have no excuse for choosing to artificially feed.
Taking time at work to pump can be a major hassle, though. That's totally real. And you either take that time out of your day, meaning you don't get paid your hourly wage for it, or you have to work more hours to make up that time, meaning you're separated from your baby for longer.
