Are you aware of the importance of breastfeeding for your baby yourself and your whole family? The risks of formulas are profound. Have you been given the opportunity to make an informed decision how can you overcome the challenges? Did you know that is a human right to breastfeed?

 
"Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way.  You don't decide how much and how deeply to love - you respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want."
Marni Jackson
