First of all, it is wonderful to read an article on breastfeeding from a male perspective. You have some really interesting links in here and highlight some of the extraordinary benefits of breastfeeding not only for mum and the baby, but for you too as a Dad.

As a postpartum nurse who worked in a baby friendly hospital - that is one that follows the WHO recommendations and does not promote formula use unless medically indicated - and a mum who breastfed my 3 kids, you hit the nail on the head in terms of emotions and challenges too. There is so little support and too easy to just give it up, The potential risks and consequences of bottle feeding are long and it's $$$! Good for you for spreading the word about its wonders, Jamie!
