I had mixed feelings at first about his approach.  I hated to admit
that breastfeeding might actually be more work than bottle-feeding at
any time.

It isn't for everyone, it is for some people. The other important
message that comes across with this doctor's approach is for parents to
be patient and to take a long view. This is true of many things, not
just bfing. We someone want it all NOW. We can't have it all now and if
we got it all now, we still wouldn't be happy.
If only we could help parents relax and ENJOY the first few weeks
(child rearing in general for that matter)! Watching our babies (and
kids) grow is a wonder and an amazing process. Why do we have to rush
it so? Why does society only look at the negative parts?
