But after not sleeping a wink, that second night my daughter and I spent together,

...Women who force their babies to breastfeed (for the so called nutritional benefits) need to think about the long term effect of depriving their child of food and what effect this has on their personality.
Baby's are born with fat stores to live off in those first few days whilst they drink colostrum, hence why they lose a bit of weight. It can take up to 4+ days for milk to come in. No one is starving their baby in the time it takes for milk to come in. It's knowing this kind of information that gets mums through rough patches. There's no need to panic about starving your baby in those first days, there is time to learn how to breastfeed.

And the nutritional benefits are far from so-called. This sadly is where formula companies mislead the public, making people believe it's as a good as or better than breastmilk. I've seen posted on these boards "no-one can tell me that breastmilk has all the ingredients that are listed on the tin of formula". OMG - no it certainly doesn't. It has far more than what's on the tin, and far less of the bad stuff that's on the tin (ie sugar)
