I know bfing advocates will hate me for saying it....but after having done both, with both kids, I am really a big formula fan. It's so much easier to be a mentally healthy and happy parent when you can take turns, only have to do it every 4 hours, they sleep so long at night, and generally seem happier, at least mine have. Plus the poop is a whole lot better lol. So if you just can't get to a good place, and she doesn't want to keep going the way it is now, I hope she knows that it is ok to use formula! I don't know what her experiences have been thus far, but I know a lot of moms who are hysterical with sleep deprivation and are afraid to use formula because of the anti-formula women, I hope that no one has made her feel that way. There are pros and cons of both, for me the formula has more pros.
