Nikki, How frustrating! I really hate when I see a mother that feels like formula solved all of her problems because you know that these mothers will tell all of their friends how wonderful formula is. I regularly tell mothers a quote that I read many years ago, I believe in a Bradley book, about the author that weaned her first because she was breastfeeding "all the time" only to discover that she was now bottlefeeding "all the time". Newborns require a lot of care and unfortunatly many mothers blame the difficulties of those first weeks of adjustment on breastfeeding and they desperatly want that blissfully sleepy and quite newborn from the formula commercials. We can't win them all but I sure wish we could. Have a happy holiday.
