For assignments called "persuasive essay," my 16yo teenage son has done at
least two on BF. I just hand over the info. His girlfriend recently did her
"persuasive essay" assignment on BF.

He recently had a computer graphics assignment to write a magazine article
with graphics. He just showed it to me today, and he did it on BF. I had no
idea he was working on this. What a nice surprise!

The title;

"Feed Your Baby The "Right" Way", "Is your baby a "real" human?"

His graphics included a scale with a BF mom and baby one one side and formula
cans on the other, and illustrates how formula weighs one down with
"illness, doctor fee/visits, days off work, and cost".

He organized the article into sections on benefits for baby, mother, society.


One of my favorite lines in his two page article;

"As a mother, and the bearer of breasts, it is your responsibility to insure
that the baby has the best nutrition possible, and that means breastmilk."

It was sure fun to read.
