I won't get into the middle of this battle except to say that breastfeeding has it's benefits for the mother as well. It helps accelerate the physical process of recovering from pregancy, helping the uterus shrink again, rebalancing hormone levels, etc.
I'm not sure why ShaniFaye would be so adamant about NOT breastfeeding, as I know no medical reasons not to. But if there are personal reasons, then she certainly had the right to do whatever she wanted to.
We were a bit paniced about our daughters lack of eating the first couple of days of her life (she wouldn't latch on, etc.) but now she's 2 1/2 and she has been at or above the 90th percentile in height and weight her whole life and has never had an ear infection, has had 1 cold, and has never been on medication.
