"is that at about five weeks, theses lines cross, and breastfeeding begins to

line fall so that while bottle-feeding stayed the same amount of work,
breastfeeding continued to drop.  His conclusion was, "Over the long-term,
breastfeeding
is far less work."

I like this, too.

I like to tell new moms that breastfeeding is neither easier nor more
difficult... It is just different.
If you learn to roller skate first, Ice skating can be challenging.... If you
learn to downhill ski first, cross-country skiing can be challenging. If you
tried to peel and eat an apple the same way you do an orange, it would be
challenging.

But, I think there are some mothers who would understand better with a graph
