Myths about breastfeeding

Hi Ladies, 

At just 1 day overdue I am already going stir crazy.  Here is an interesting article I found about breastfeeding:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/five-myths-about-breast-feeding/2012/05/31/gJQAt6774U_story_1.html

while googling 'natural labor induction methods' today.  Interested to hear your opinions!

    wow, I'm surprised to see that only 35% of mothers EBF at 3 months....maybe I'll be less surprised once I actually give it a go.  But the hassle and expense of formula makes me feel very determined to EBF until baby can start on baby food.

    I think this statistic is less about what mothers want and more about the US's horrible maternity leave policies.  3 months is coincidently all the time most women are allowed to take after the birth of a child.  Once back in the work force, pumping is difficult if not impossible for a large portion of women.
