Some of my friends have formula fed their babies. Many have breastfed. Either way, it has never really been an issue here, which makes me wonder sometimes if all the controversy and stigma surrounding it is blown out of proportion, or if I'm just lucky to have not experienced it?
Anyway, although I am a vaccinator, I agree with your points and especially appreciate your call on fathers to be supportive of breastfeeding mothers. Breastfeeding can be very difficult at times -- and physically exhausting! Having that extra support goes a long way toward creating a positive experience for both mom and baby.
@ redhens The joys of parenthood have many different paths. I truly appreciate your perspective.
