The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding

Hey, did you guys know that just a single sip of formula is dangerous?

Oh, and! Did you know that mothers who complain about how their babies don't sleep through the night must be bottle feeding, because bottle feeding is so difficult and terrible. But if you breast feed, you can accept multiple night wakings no problem. And if you can't, well, you need an attitude adjustment and then you can greet the new day "with a smile."

Did. You. Know.

ARRGH. I greeted each new day with a panic attack, actually, but no doubt this was because I mix-fed my twins (the early days were like a Dantean circle of hell with breast-feeding, bottle-feeding, pumping, cleaning everything and then repeat) until they were on cow's milk and then breast-fed them til 2. It was an important achievement to me at the time and I don't think anything would have actually made my two sleep through the night (melatonin worked but I didn't try it until they were four) anyway, but it was a pretty high price.
