olwen> which bear are u referring to? I understand there r quite a few bears around here
My thots on bf: I bf for 14 mths, till my err... well dried up naturally when preg with #2. Besides the fact that going out with bb is so much more convenient (no need to lug bottles, formula, hot water etc), the bonding with bb is incredible. At nite, also no need to blur blur stumble to kitchen to make milk, just get bb and latch him/her on. And of cos u'll save plenty of $$ cos milk powder is realli not cheap. Can always express n let others feed so the strain of feeding is not always on us. I feel if u can bf, do it, it's realli the best u can give to ur baby. And jus to dispel fears of bf that some may have due to having heard bad experiences with others, it's realli not so tough afterall.
