Okay. I'll weigh in but only because Edwin made me laugh.

I was told by my uncle that my mother breast-fed me when I asked him. My mother is deceased so I couldn't ask her.
Since he is a medical professional and seems to think formula=chemical and bad, taking into consideration my family is totally into revisionist history I have not idea if that is accurate. smile

I did not BF first daughter, she was unable to nurse. She did get breast milk for as long as the pump was effective, about 2-3 months.
I did BF second daughter to about 7 or 8 months.
