I get plenty of laughs when I tell moms that saying "I breastfeed until I run out of milk, then give him formula," is like saying "I breathe until I run out of air, then I use an oxygen tank." Then they understand that they've got the process *backwards* in their minds. Breathe IN ORDER to have oxygen. Breastfeed in order to have milk......*sigh*.......
