I had a cesarean and the first few days were difficult (not only due to a delay in the milk coming in but to an unsupportive head nurse, who may have caused the delay in the first place), but I managed to breastfeed my daughter exclusively for six months and am still nursing her now at 18 months with solid foods.

If all the money spent on distribution of bovine based formula was spent on breastfeeding education and assistance we would all be better off. There is no free lunch and indeed there is no free "formula". All things come with a price. In this case it is the innocent baby who pays the ultimate price.
