The "F" word. As a new mom committed to exclusively breastfeeding, I had a legit fear of formula. So when it came time to wean, I could barely look at the cans of organic formula my husband had researched and bought for us. I even made him give her the first bottle of formula while I was out of the house. But after a week, I started to accept it. And now, a month in, I appreciate how easy formula is. It helps that my daughter doesn't seem to know the difference.
