A friend of mine is 4wks away from giving birth to her second child. Her first experience with bf was bad (from what she tells me, I did not know her at that time) and she had given up within 6wks or so. Now, the way she talks, I don't see how she can be successful this time round either. She'll say things like "The moment it starts getting like it was [with her first], I'm changing to formula". I feel like I should be trying to support her, but I don't know how to do so tactfully. I'm not sure she knows all the benefits of bf (eg. her daughter (16m) is constantly sick, and always has been, and I keep thinking that bf would have protected her from a lot of that since she's not in daycare or anything like that).
Should I do anything? If so, how?
We are not close friends, just met through a mother's group, and also go to the same music group, email/call each other occasionally etc.
