Hi friends,
 
I was at my Mothering boards today and found something to  share.  I do 
believe it is too lengthy to copy and paste, so instead I am  sending a link.  This 
mother, for reasons beyond her control truly couldn't  bf her baby, and hates 
that she is ff.  She describes the pitfalls of ff  and wishes anyone to share 
her message with any mom who is under the impression  that bf is "hard" and 
ff is "easier".  Read at your leisure.  I am  impressed with her candor and I 
believe she says it in a way that moms may  listen to.
 
BTW, on another topic, my friend who was sitting with a broken  bag of water, 
delivered today.  She made it to her 32 week goal with a  beautiful baby girl 
4 lb 4oz  17 inches.  Baby is on a vent, but  otherwise doing well.  Please 
keep her in your prayers/thoughts.  No  word on the breastmilk issue with her, 
but wasn't expecting to get one  lol.

*should* feel guilty if they are unwilling to do so, and they should be  
intellectually honest enough to know the difference." -Elizabeth Gene
