I just wanted to add that, though I hope to breast-feed when our first baby is born in March, I was not breast-fed at all, since I was adopted at birth. And despite that, I have some of the best health of my family (three other siblings are all the biological children of my adoptive parents; all easily breast-fed). I have no allergies whatsoever and rarely get sick. And as far as other development, I did extremely well in school and participated in many athletics and only have one cavity to date! ;) So just to encourage any that have trouble with breast-feeding not to worry. There are many, many factors (apparently) that go into raising healthy children. Breast milk or formula is just one of them. :)
