Breastfeeding Article

This is for all you moms out there who have successfully or unsuccessfully or apathetically breastfed your child.

Check out my friend's blog entry on the subject.

And also be sure to read the article he is referring to.

In Dan's perfect words -- It's a level-headed and refreshingly skeptical look at the hype, over-selling and judgmental posturing that attaches to contemporary breast-feeding.

Take a minute to read it -- seriously. Please do it now. Latch on and don't stop until you've finished the rich hind-milk of it. You won't be let down.

(and while you read it, note my beef with the subject: even in professional literature the presentation of the word is inconsistent -- breastfeeding, breast-feeding, breast feeding...)

loved your comment on dan's blog.
i must say this is exactly why i trust my motherly instincts more than a "dr.s recommendations." i think this just goes to show how medical trends tend to follow self-serving agendas in the medical field...
i'll stick to what i know works {i'm not necessarily a pragmatist but in this area, i am!}
i've been loving your posts!
love,
jenn
