unfortunately my son was born with a soft palate deformity and my wife expressed her breast milk steadily for 4 months ( every 2 hrs!!) until her milk dissapeared ( as it does with expressing as a machine can not replace a baby's suckling ). breast feeding is best but is not for everyone. My wife is a devoted midwife and was very depressed with being unable to breastfeed . comments like yours sadly show both ignorance and lack of any empathy . I hope you never have to go through what we went through. Our son is healthy and happy and we are grateful for this.
