My wife felt under a lot of pressure with our first child to breast feed but got very little support and felt really bad when she had to switch to bottle feeding.

For our second child the hospital were better but my wife had to give up breast feeding when it turned out we have a hungry monster for a child (he was having almost twice the amount that babies that age were expected to be having!). One three hour feeding session was the final straw. Again, all the pro-breast feeding propaganda made her feel bad and that she'd failed.

Breast feeding might be better but I doubt the difference between breast and non-breast feeding is that much. We've got a happy, healthy, clever & enegetic two year old who is testament to that.
