Just yesterday my friend Ann was showing me pictures of her new baby. And while he's cute as can be, the picture that store my heart was the one of her 6-year-old son, Jack, feeding the baby a bottle. Jack was smiling from ear to ear.

As a mother who both breastfed and bottle fed her children, I truly believe it's imperative that women have the choice without being made to feel guilty. I breastfed my daughter but had difficulties, after a few weeks, with my son. So it was bottle time for him! And I have to say, I was thrilled with the choice. My life became instantly easier...

Do moms know best? We believe they do, but the government may not..
