I hope this is the proper forum for this question.
I have a friend who will have a baby any day. She is attending an
accelerated graduate school program. She will continue to be very busy
after the baby is born, and has made comments to me like "I will try to
breastfeed when I'm home at nights and on weekends, but the baby will
get formula while I am at school".
I respect my friend, and I don't want to be pushy (most women who are 9
month pregnant are about tired of advise), but I REALLY want her to give
her child the benefit of full time breast feeding. Anyone have any
suggestions for "gentle" encouragement?
