Oh I have a personal story about this, too! So many women are pressured to BF at all costs, and make drug choices predicated on shaky or nonexistent clinical trial data. Thanks for telling your story in Slate. It made me think: I should pitch my story, too!

I have no regrets about not BFing. Especially with my first, the postpartum experience was hard enough as it was without a spouse who could do 50% of the feeding. Deciding when to prioritize your mental health is a powerful step for a new mom--thank for this.
