Re: stupid question about bf...
you can breast feed for as long as you like. Some do it for 6 weeks then go back to work and put the baby on formula, some supplement formula (give both) from birth.
I had planned on BF only but the baby would not take my boobie, so I had to give her a bottle with formula. Then I bought a pump, so I pump a few times a day which gives her 1-2 bottles of BM a day.
The pediatrician sayid ANY amount of BM is better than none. You have to choose what is right for you and your baby.

I an back at work and I continue to BF as well as pump at work, this gives enough milk so that when I am at work my son has BM fromt he bottle. I have done withis with all 3 of my kids for the forst year, it is really not so hard, but invest in a good pump if you decide to pump and not supplement with formula.

I bf for 5 months before I had to supplement with formula. However I was able to pump at work.
