I support breastfeeding.
And most women can breastfeed - but it's not a thing that comes naturally for everyone - it takes some practcing to get a professional.
But if you for one reason or another choose not to breastfeed - it doesn't make you a bad mother.
With the proper help many women would be abled to breastfeed - the lack of support for breatfeeding women are sadly one of the reasons that the rate of breatfed babies are low.
WHO recommendations are to breastfeed full time for the babys first 6 months and to breastfeed part time for the babys first 2 years.
Formula can never be better than milk produced for the baby - giving milk from a cow can't be more natural.
WHat do you think? Is there enough support for breastfeeding - or should averyone just bottlefeed?
