It takes effort and commitment on the part of the mother to nurse a baby. These women obviously are too lazy to do so. I know couples where the mother won't breast feed her baby because, by using formula, she can kick Dad out of bed during the middle of the night to feed the baby and she can sleep in.

I find that profoundly stupid and sad.

Our seven kids were ALL nursed, and beyond six months. Perfectly healthy. This article also fails to address the level of bonding that occurs between a mom and her baby when nursing.................

My daughter is 15 months and still breastfed, though she eats other food as well. She never ate baby food, did not like it. Wife is college grad (and now a stay at home mom), and I make good money - so i guess we fit well into their findings. My X and I, when i was much younger, did the opposite. She never went to college, I made very little money, and she never breast fed our 3 boys (even though I thought it was a good idea, not just for the money we would save). She basically wanted 'her time' and never really bonded well with any of the three (not saying moms can't that don't). I like my current wife so much better :)

And then there are women who have other feelings on how long to breast feed. Did you see the article earlier this week with the woman who is still allowing her 8 year old son to do it?

It takes effort and commitment on the part of the mother to nurse a baby.

You know, I hear this from time to time, and for me, it isn't true at all. My kids have never had bottles, so there is never anything to retrieve, mix, shake, heat, cool, clean-up, etc. I just pick up the baby and go when I have to leave the house. I look forward to nursing the baby, because that is my opportunity to sit down and relax. Because both hands are free, I can even enjoy some bonus time on FR; like I am right now. :)
