Okay, my friend's dd is 21 and pregnant. My friend wants her to make an informed decision about whether or not to nurse. The dd was saying stuff like "its disgusting and un-natural".

However, after a bit of talking to, she agreed to try it.

We would like to give her some simple print-outs like "25 good reasons to breast-feed" or "25 myths about breast-feeding, etc." Do things like that exist?

Anyone know sites that I could print out a bit of info from? We will get her a book, too. For now we want to give her a little info at a time. It's her choice, and we don't want to overwhelm her.

Also, anyone know a site that mentions the expense of bottle-feeding if you don't have WIC checks?

TIA so much!

for the book, i recommend "so thats what they're for" by janet tamaro.

i know i have the info somewhere.... and even with wic checks, wic is supposed to be a SUPPLEMENTAL nutrition program. meaning the parents should still have to buy some of their children's food themselves.

There is a great new book out called "Bestfeeding." It is an easy read with fabulous information in it!
