Glad to hear that's catching on. Ironically, I owe my "breastfeeding career" to a nurse who told me that if I didn't "get things going" she was "going to have to give that baby some formula!" Before she walked in, I was seriously considering giving up and going for the formula. But her comment got my back up, and that one comment solidified my resolve to breastfeed. I guess I should thank her? : )
