A member asked:
10 wk old bf only never had a bottle. i feel very uncomfortable feeding around moms who bottle feed as they make me feel inferior. is breast best?

Yes: Study after study suggests benefits from breast feeding outweigh any from bottle feed. Of course, not every mom is able to breast feed, so we don't want to make anyone feel guilty, since basic calories are important for baby. But given a choice, we'd always recommend breast feeding for as long as possible. Check out http://goo.Gl/jkwdzm (webmd) & http://goo.Gl/q39ee (mayo clinic).
