Yes, It Is a Big Deal

My husband laughs at my sometimes overzealous defense of breastfeeding. I think this site, while not comprehensive, does a nice job of summing up why it is so important. Make sure to check out page two and the decrease in breast cancer for both women who breast feed and those who were themselves breast fed. It makes a bigger difference than buying a bucket of fried chicken with a pink ribbon on it.

And yes, I'm sure your formula fed kid is just fine. Of course, I'm just fine and my parents didn't know about car seats. It doesn't mean I wouldn't use one now, when we know better.
