I realize what a personal choice the issue of breast feeding is and so i apologize. The article does not make mention of this and so in this regard is rather poor.
aww. Don´t feel bad!I think the breast feeding is really important in forming a bond with the baby, and I´ve heard it in school numerous times that women who don´t breastfeed don´t have an as strong bond (that doesn´t mean that it´s not strong enough though, I think the child neglecting thing is a bit far fetched though)...not sure if I quite believe that though. I don´t want to breastfeed myself so I guess that´s why I don´t wanna believe it
