    I enjoyed this article. I am a firm believer of following your intuition . When my second child was three weeks old I noticed that she had a strange cry. I was alarmed but she did not have any other symptoms but a strange cry now and then. My family, husband ,sister and mother felt I was being overly anxious of the newborn. I felt there was something wrong. I took her temperature and it was slightly elevated not quite 100 derees but my instinct told me she was sick. I called the Dr and insisted she should be seen. It turned out that my child had viral meningitis. From her cry, I knew something was definately wrong. She was hospitalized and placed on antibiotics. Today she is a beautiful 23 yr old. I have always trusted my instinct since that experience. Good Luck and blessings with your child.

    If you choose to breastfeed, Mary, will it be because it's so cozy and fun or because of the mountain of evidence showing its many benefits?
